Now I know how tog feels!!!! All these people online ignoring something of importance!!! www.dvds4delegates.com is in SERIOUS DANGER of not succeeding!!!!!! Where is the CAN DO attitude around here???? www.dvds4delegates.com NEEDS to raise about $38,000 THIS WEEK (sorry for the change in number)!!!!!! Instead of debating petty issues can we not come together as a force once again to keep this thing from floundering into oblivion???? Where IS everyone????? Let's steal delegates from McCain and get the only HONEST candidate nominated and elected the next president of the United States!!!!! I want to say President Paul don't YOU??????
Here is the link to view the amounts donated for each state:

For those who ARE NOT convinced about dvd project and wish to see a sample, please visit this site that Liberty Belle has graciously gone through the trouble of locating!!!!! Thanks SOO MUCH!!!!!!
You can view the sample by clicking on the dvd files at the top of the page:

Another overlooked issue that is in DESPARATE NEED is that Pennsylvania is running short on funds to send their Ron Paul delegates and alternates to St. Paul!! I have copied and pasted this information from Schvenzlerman's thread.
Please take note of and help out with the below fund raising appeal from Ron's former Pennsylvania state coordinator. The state kicked butt at 16% for Ron and elected some delegates.
Delegate Expense Fund Appeal
As you may know, Ron did not withdraw from but rather suspended his campaign. You may go to http://cpalpac.com/home/d... for a Q&A and video updates that address this matter. It remains extremely important to send to the national convention the Ron Paul delegates who were elected in Pennsylvania's primary. I must ask for your support because a few of them need help with convention expenses which are considerable. As an example, one had her spouse unexpectedly lose employment. Please go to http://cpalpac.com/home/d... to donate.
Where Things Stand
Bottom-line, the Revolution continues. Ron's suspension may or may not prove tactical (hint), but the neo-conservative dominated GOP will regardless lose many House and Senate seats this Fall. Seizing on this weakness, we will then go about electing candidates nationwide to fight police state laws, unnecessary mercantile wars and confiscatory economic policy that promotes massive government. Keep informed about this process by joining:
1. Ron's Campaign for Liberty at http://www.campaignforlib...
2. The Pennsylvania Campaign for Liberty at http://www.pacampaignforl... -- under construction, watch for updates
Please try to attend Ron's Campaign for Liberty convention (aka rally) in Minneapolis on September 1 and 2. This event will have many guest speakers and performers including pop star Aimee Allen and others to-be-announced. I hope to see you there and thank you personally.
Again, please go to http://cpalpac.com/home/d... to donate and thank you. Your assistance is very much needed and any contribution, large or small, will help greatly. Please let me know if you wish to donate but do not have the means to do so electronically.
Yours very truly,
Bill Faust
former Field Director
Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign Committee
More info from the poster...I am not the only one disappointed!!!!
5 RP delegates and 14 RP alternates were elected in the PA primary. Some of the said alternates would, as the top vote-getters in the primary, replace McCain-supporting delegates if said delegates failed to attend the convention. That may happen because most of them are PA representatives and senators who may develop legislative conflicts. Additionally, some McCain alternates may also, for the same reason, fail to show. In other words, we could potentially have ten or more delegates at the convention.
One of our RP alternates has already bailed out. Not going. Wanted to stop worrying about the cost. We lost him and he's just flat-out gone.
The fund raising goal is $6,000. We weren't up to $1,000 yet as of Tuesday. Looks bleak. PA pitched in approx. $1.3 million to Ron's campaign and a lot of our people are feeling tapped out.
I am a computer illiterate. I have no idea how to set up a Chipin. But there is an easy way to contribute. You need only go to http://cpalpac.com/home/d.... CPALPAC was created and is managed by a guy whose efforts elected one delegate and three alternates. Ron's vote in several counties in CPALPAC's area of PA was as high as 27.5% (state avg. was 15.9%).
I note that there were only two replies to the original post besides mine. The Daily Paul has IMO unfortunately become a place for only vicariously taking part in the movement. Frankly, I'm very disappointed.

Is there anywhere I can view
what 'exactly' will be on the dvds. My fear is overzealous Ron Paul supporter stupidity. Like gathering all this money to make another disc that has Ron Paul all over it or on it, that will go into a garbage can the second they hear or see the name, or one that does something stupid like going right for the conspiracy theories. I may donate, but I want to be clear of how they will target these delegates and exactly how it will be presented. As we have all learned, just 'shoving Ron Paul up someones ass' doesn't go over at all, let alone well. It is going to take a professional production, narrated by a professional, (not a wannabe professional) to have any effect at all, not some screwballtube collection of uneducated approach and poor quality nonsense videos.
Will FISA, The Patriot Act, and HR1955 be discussed in detail?
NAFTA, and NAU, and the current candidates stance on them with video clips to back it, Etc.
I don't know exactly what will be on them, but here's a link
so you may sample what it is like!! This is what was on the Alaskan ones.

Thanks daughter,
I will have a look.
People are just tapped out.
People are just tapped out. I wanted to do something like that on the precinct level and turn all the GOP Executive Committee Members. I went to the trouble of getting my hands on a copy of the "secret" Committee list from a friend at the SOE's office. We figured that since most of the members were old farts that do not even own a DVD player, we would send them all a copy of Dr Paul's book, but with 161 members it will cost over two grand to do that. Nobody has that kind of money laying around. There are lots of great ideas being presented and many very worthy projects, but we are just spread too thin and broke.
yep
The cry for more help with the PA delegates expenses is touching but... there is not even an effort to help the Idaho delegation. A very kind person offered to help my husband and I but we are all on our own. I wanted to get copies of the book to the 6 uncommitted delegates, who could vote for Dr. Paul without breaking any rules of any sort. I offered to deliver them, or see to their hand delivery, if people could donate the books for me. I got one offer. I know people would help if they could, and I KNOW I would buy the books myself if I could afford it. (Frankly, I wish they were sending the book rather than the DVDs. Ron Paul speaks for himself quite well, and it is a short, quick read.) However, we are already too broke, we'll be cruising to the Convention on credit cards - yee hah.
I have 2 or 3 extra copies...
Will ship them to you if it isn't already too late for you to use them.
Let me know... randyjones (at) att.net
Use "Ron Paul Books" or something similar as the subject... I get gobs of email in this account, and that will help it stand out from all the junk.
-Randy
I wish I could
Baskets for delegates when they check in their hotels in St. Paul and blanketing St. Paul with Ron Paul everywhere would be nice too unfortunately I am not Daddywarbucks nor am I a millionaire.

with some fire behind her. We all got to get fired up!!! Evan in Alaska has been working on this for three months free of charge(to answer a comment below). Great to see you firing it up and all here who want to finish this thing. The finish line is right in front of us, one last try is all we need to do. Let's get our delegates much needed funding and get McCain's delegates minds unbrainwashed. That is it and then we can focus on the campain for liberty. Were almost there everyone, just a little bit further, Come on!!! I am sending Evan another $500.00 just to fire you all up!!!!!!!
Yes, I just posted 3 or 4 threads last night because I was
missing you and looking for some ACTION!!!! It wasn't a whole lot, but I got a few responses last night...then this morning I turned on my computer to find nearly 20 posts on this thread!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! I think I've hit a nerve!!!!!!! :-D

Yes!
how about getting Paul's book to them too?
I have a dream that John McCain reads this book...or at least some key person on his campaign staff....
http://www.flickr.com/pho...
Do'nt mean to be a downer but
seems there should be a sample of what will be on the DVD by now. If there is one. Where can it be viewed? It would be nice to know what you are donating for. Should have been enough donations to present a sample by now.
Here is a page
That has the sample of what they did for the Alaska dvd project that was so successful. The national project will be similar.
http://www.ronpauldelegat...
And on this page is where all the contact names and phone numbers can be found as well as a transcript of one of the videos!
http://dvds4delegates.com...
ok those dvds that you linked to are $2.50 each
http://www.ronpauldelegat...
much better deal than the current $20 dollar each for dvds
what is the reason for the huge price increase?
I too, would like to know what exactly is on these dvds. I've heard before that it would be available for download, but still nothing.
The $20 is for 4 DVDS to each delegate!
plus shipping and handling and production and website! Jeez...I dont see how it can get much cheaper considering what is at stake! Email them if you have questions ...but dont blow off a great project! www.dvds4delegates.com click on donate and that page has all contact info and a written transcript of content so far!
Explanation please
Can you tell me the difference in these links? Yours goes straight to the page that has the totals for the states, but the home page does not seem to link to the page that you link to. So when people go to the home page, they do not see the states. Can you explane this? Explain how to get to the state listing from the home page. TKS. I don't want to have to come back to DP every time I want to find the states and find one of your posts so that I can get to that page.
Sure- No problem!
The link above is the one that is the donate page and if you scroll down you will see all the states lower right! At the top center of that page you will see a button that says "home" click on that and that is the main page of the site! You dont have to join in in order to donate or help spread the word ! Just attach the link telling people to click on the green donate tab! Send out to all in your meet up and other meetups in your state!
Hope that helps ya!
Thank you for helping out!
This is the link for the donation page again! It has the states...
http://dvds4delegates.com...
No
this is the opposite of what I was asking.
If you go to www.dvd4delegates.com, it takes you straight to the home page.
I know how to get from your link to the home page, no problem with that. It is when you go straight to the home page, where is the link to get to the states page. I don't want to come find you every time I want to look at the progress for the states. But I see no link on the HOME page to get to the page with the states.
RonPaulistheAnswer!
Here is the main link
http://www.dvds4delegates...
Click on it and then to the right click on the green donate tab and scroll down a little and you will see the state totals!
Got it!
Thanks.
While they are working on the site, make a more obvious link to that information.
I don't know...but I think if you register/join the site you can
probably find out. I'm hoping someone who knows will help with this information. But it has worked in Alaska to a degree! If anyone is more informed than I am, please post!!!!!

Wow Joining is like
becoming a secret agent or something. They wanted me to give the name of a "known" Ron Paul" supporter to make sure I'm a true supporter. Whaat? So who might that be? That's messed up. No wonder they are'nt getting donations.
chonk123! You do not have to join!
I havent but I did donate and am getting emails out to all meetup members in my state to bring our state up to total needed = $20 per delegate each delegate gets 4 dvds!
Just click on the donation link and it takes you to a new page with the state totals and contact info for the organizers for any questions!
Tha donation form is just a few lines and you can also use paypal.
I don't know what's up with that!!!! But it did make me laugh!

What about Campaign for Liberty?
Can't we get RP to approve the final donation to get this done. I mean really, they've got $5 million in the bank. It would seem to me to be a great move on the part of the Campaign.
P.S. I sure hope that there is a video on that DVD that explains the falling dollar and that prices are not going up, but the value of the dollar is going down. And also how inflation is tax.
that would be great! but will they?

MOOVIN up the HOT list @25
Your RIght...We need to walk the walk...
I just donated a small amount to the PAC, and I guess I just saw the DVDsfordelegates so much that I didn't even see or think about it...We all need to step up and try to these delegates into Paul's corner, and remember we have truth and wisdom on our side! At the very least we will be able to inform all the party delegates what Ron Paul is REALLY about instead of the garbage that's spewed about him in the MSM to smear the man!

when she replies, I will donate another $100. Thanks. I want this to go as much as you guys do.
Here are the states
It is also posted above! Why do you have to say "idiots"? Dont you know how to click on a link? Or better yet why haven't you taken the initiative to post it yourself? Jeez...calling people names that are trying to do something positive is not very productive...so what is wrong with you?
Take your mouse and click on the link below ( press finger on button) to open the page...then move your eyes to the right of page to see the states.
http://www.dvds4delegates...
Because
I have been civil, asked over and over, went to the website over and over to find the list, it was not there. ONLY, I repeat ONLY, the word IDIOT would get a response. That is why. It is called frustration. Now someone needs to post who gets paid. Also, what the top amount per state is so that we can have the option to work on another state if we want.
Way to go California and Arkansas.
I will email Evan Cutler
and tell him we need some specific answers to help promote this. I do know if you go to your state GOP website that the number of state delegates going to the RNC should be posted. Multiply that by $20 and that gives you the amount that each state would need for every delegate to recieve a set of 4 dvds. I doubt there is much pay involved because production of 4 dvds plus shipping and handling for $20 does not leave alot of room for profit. But I will ask that question also!
Here is the link that shows what was included in the Alaska project which was so very successful at converting non RP delegates and also such success with passing RP platforms in their state.
http://www.ronpauldelegat...
Good Morning America from North Carolina!
Just sent in $40 for NC! I will be able to send more next week but it is looking pretty sad in NC... total now with mine only $80! Well, today I am going to take responsibility for getting some help for this project in my state and start emailing every single member of every meet-up!
We have 69 delegates in NC so that means my goal is to raise $1380! Even if these dvds do not change the mind of every delegate it is bound to change a few and to give plenty others very good information!
I challenge others to check the total in your state and do the same thing!
Look here to see how much your state has...then DO SOMETHING!!
