:30 Ron Paul TV Ad

[highlandsnake]

PLEASE update this for the 2012 campaign!!!

[carcabe]

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who is willing to turn us away from our path toward economic collapse and chaos. All of the others offer more of the same failed policies. All of the other candidates offer us the very UNREAL idea that government can fix our lives and give us all a fairy tale life. Ron Paul is the only one who is grounded in reality. Let's support the one who accepts the reality of the Constitution and that freedom is the only solution to the human condition.

[TheLexiconDevil]

This is an AWESOME commercial! I remember the contest. I was very disappointed this didn't win.

[nlitement]

Looks like literally everyone forget about Ron Paul. One year since the last comment :(

[Bluemars78]

Vote for Ron Paul! So we, the rest of the world, can feel a bit safer...

Greetings from eastern Europe.

[Venus0and0Popol]

whats the name of the song used in this video?

[thebuckwildchild]

The answer is right in front of us=RON PAUL. The ONLY reason that Romney and McCain lead is because they have more money to spread their crooked message. I believe that the right message will prevail=that of RON PAUL's and the founding fathers!

[kevinatucla]

why THE HELL IS THIS ADD NOT ON TV YET IN CALIFORNIA? USE THE SAME MUSIC.

[now33]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Go to ronpaultoolbar dot com and download to fund the revolution by searching, funding the revolution on search at a time....

[scout154]

the music was awful...

[ranged12345]

Donate it to Paul or go advertise somewhere else.

[linkmaster88]

Wow, this looks really professional. RP should use it!! :D

[tabbaci]

man i see and heard many people, not americans but people from other nations supporting RON PAUL...this is amazing. only thing is ron paul needs more support people...like bill maher said."if these people were not dumb, wont you be winning the polls"...

[diamondman007]

It will be and always has been the destiny of the American Patriot to destroy the Fascist World Government system.Though the head of the serpent is coiled over Europe, it's bloated body is here in America. We will soon kill the body and help Europe smash the head. All the tyrants will die a traitor's cold death!

[Pbong]

I'm from europe and i'm with you on this issue

DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS

[sabra93]

OMG!!! This is EXCELLENT! Great work!

[ranged12345]

Please Americans, get Ron Paul elected. We Europeans already messed up by allowing the EU start its Fourth Reich over here. Let's have some sanity in this world...

[bernhard12345]

The revolution needs to start in America!

We're in the same "1984-shit" over here.

Bernhard ( The Netherlands)

Get this man elected... no matter what.

[ChildOL]

Very good ad with the right atmosphere to create interest.

[musicw8832]

Why isn't the Ron Paul campaign using this ad!?

[notjeffhilo]

Nice job

[srt8dhalsey]

They should play this add over and over in all the states leading up to super tuesday. It creates an interest to have someone research him on their own. If I didn't know about Ron Paul and saw that message, I would instantly ask "Who is Ron Paul?"

[ChildOL]

HEAR HEAR!!!

[WestbrookeAsylum]

Incredible spot, but the CCR "Fortunate Son" remix blew me away. Check out that one at /watch?v=Med926aDBoc

Thumbs up, Frankdogg

[8ung3st]

this ad is awesome!!!

[tmgsjv]

Everytime I watch this ad I find myself at the Ron Paul site donating more money and ordering more slim jims. You need to get this ad more noticed, and get ahold of the campaign about it -- this ad alone would win the election. Awesome job!!

Thank you!!

[geniusiknowit]

This commercial makes me want to zoom around town on a skateboard, with a shotgun on my back, putting up Ron Paul stickers.

[IvyMikeBomb]

I'd do just the same but with a taser AND a shotgun!

[IvyMikeBomb]

Nice Vid keep up da good work and...

VOTE OR DIE...

For Dr. Know!

[spiderplopper]

Excellent ad! Especially for young voters. This should run on MTV ;)

[smallmaniac]

Awesome ad. whats the song called?

[woshiyigehaopengyou]

Weapons of Mass Destruction by The Crystal Method

[k1man]

This music makes it sound childish and unprofessional

[unitim]

This one got the best music IMHO.

[VAUS82]

Great, no- EXCELLENT add. I'd like to know if the Ron Paul campaign showed any interest in it.

[AdamB5000]

When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. -Thomas Jefferson

[acridwolf]

I'm sure ppl here have watched Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Anyone remember the quote "So this is how freedom dies, to the sound of thunderous applause." Anyone remember seeing footage of Congress when they elected to give more power to Bush and pass the Patriot Act after 9-11?

[Felix1085]

"The purpose of the Constitution is not to restrain you in any way, the purpose of the Constitution is to restrain the government"

Ron Paul 2008

[AFGUY20]

This is one of the coolest ads I've seen.

[halomyfrinds]

why havnt i seen one ron paul ad on tV THOUGH!? Scum bags prob preted they'l show it, but dont!!!!!!!

[slackbacker]

The Ron Paul Phenomenon

Airs this Friday, December 14 at 8:30 pm on PBS

I saw the preview on PBS website and it is awesome!

[carcabe]

Want to do more than sit on your butt watching videos? Do The Rights Rally, December 15th. rightsrally07 . com

[awfultin]

It's excellent man...the campaign needs to adopt it.

[Kefienzel]

great ad. change the music so old people want be scared and you have a winner.

[awfultin]

lol

[AFGUY20]

But the music makes it sound really serious.

[jeg0000]

Love it...great job

Ron Paul 2008... Revolution

[topples]

That is the best ad for a candidate I have ever seen. Keep up the good work!

[surGeonGG]

Holy shit!

This looks more like an ad for gameshow or something rather than a presidential candidate (you know, with the music and all) but damn it's good. I personally love the music and effects used. You sir are very talented.

It would be awesome if they aired this, it's kind of out of the box if you know what i mean. Could potentially resonate very well.

[mandragola4life]

love the music (and the message obviously)!

[wordsofthemind]

Wow that was nice!

[amwedin]

Great one!!

Is it getting any play?

[dashpowers22]

That was a damn good video

[M0L0NLABE]

That really kicks ass.

[llaplue]

Fantastic Vid!

I like the music update

[ronpaulpresidency]

rudysreadinglist(.)com/

teaparty07(.)com/

Donate for the sake of our country!!!

[ronpaulpresidency]

This and the ALCPAC constitution Ad with the little baby were the best Ads I have seen = )

[basikz]

i love it good shit bro

[ronpaulpresidency]

The music really works well!

[t1joel]

This one is amazing, this one shall win!

[YouTubReptilian]

And he should also be more vocal about us not being required to pay taxes according to the constitution.

[NoahHoe]

i love after effects.

but you assume that most Americans can read or will take the time to read.

maybe narrate it.

i want this to play in FL, my state, when the primaries come here.

[HarryPickle]

I like it a lot. Great way to show the issues as the way that they are shown as topics make my eye read them instead of glance over them like normal horizontal text. Music is suspenseful and cause as sense of drama like "The Bourne Identity."

[rjksoccer06]

Dude a little less harsh music and it'd be great

[Lanzivore]

I think the music is very fitting for this add.

I like it a lot.

[mashlomhah333]

Sorry buddy that might be music you like, but your trying to reach a broad audience.

2 stars for bad choice of music

[chunksloth]

The music is BAD.

[proximity2008]

very nice add

[ParapaDrifter]

Ron Paul fights truth decay!

[talonkinkade]

I was told that Ron Paul was unelectable by a Guilliani supporter....where do they come up with this stuff. Ron Paul has my support!!

[xkjdhdglksh]

I sure this resonates very well with the young people. Music and all. Good job. Ron Paul rocks. Ron Paul Won't Taze You

[jacobdane]

Very nice visual approach, but the music kills the whole vibe. I like that you're trying to give it an edge, but pick some music that doesn't sound like it belongs in an Army advertisement. Maybe the Flaming Lips? "We've got the power, now, motherfuckers that's where it belongs!"

[DP1066]

I like it.

[Abilene85]

While I love the Crystal Method, I think use of a more patriotic song would be better for this ad. I have a feeling this song might turn off some people over the age of 30. Besides that, great ad!

[SeanEdwardsCA]

Over the age of 30?!? What is this, logans run?

Damn youngsters act like nobody else was ever young. Someday, if you're lucky, you'll be over 30, and some punkass kid will come along and assume you listen to 'old people music' too.

[Abilene85]

Sorry about that. I reread my comment now and it comes off as a total stereotype when I didn't mean it that way. But let's face it - some people (both over and under the age of 30), may not pay attention to the commercial due to the song. It is a very particular style of music.

By the way - I listen to classical, opera, standards,and jazz and people my age already tell me I listen to "old people music." :)

[Peer0001]

Frankdogg, I seriously hope you're making one for the CNN/YouTube debate commercial. Quality stuff.  Pity we can't see it beforehand, though.

[k1e0x]

Good ad' I like your use and choice of music.

[jedimetroid]

couldn't use fortunate son? damn you john foggerty for being so awesome and not letting us borrow it

[thatguybrian]

great ad

[ParapaDrifter]

Nice style.. I recognize it from a British documentary about the Military industrial complex. anyone remember that video? I'm sure its here on youtube somewhere

[LeMerovech]

Wow, awesome video!

Gets the main points of Ron Paul's campaign across, in a very effective manner, without any fluff. Would be great to see this air on TV...

[CalebRox]

Great work!

[SeppLainer]

VERY GOOD!!!!!!

[neutrino15]

my only criticism is that you should have the "For the people, by the people" slide on the screen longer.. And don't use black on dark red...

Other than that, TRULY amazing work! I hope you win!

[blaithin86]

Really good!!!

[Sublime698812]

awesome!

[billymuscles]

This is absolutely fantastic.

[project1225]

One suggestion I thought of after seeing this... When you say "No more war in Iraq" the choppers in the background look like Russian Mi-17s. Since this debate will likely have many military members watching, you may want to switch the silhouette out to something American like a Blackhawk or AH1Z.

[hardcharger04]

actually, im pretty sure they are CH-53s (usmc), so no need to change. This is the best 30sec spot ive seen. GREAT WORK!

[project1225]

Ooops, you're right, I stand corrected. Props.

[SeppLainer]

I agree.

[bigbusiness]

best presidential candidate advertisement yet

[JoeShmoe65]

Excellent!

[jibbityjab]

Check out the remix of this video by clicking on frankdogg's name in the upper right.

[ochobit]

The music sounds too "radical" and would come off as abrasive to older viewers. Put a patriotic sounding soft rock or country song. And get a voice-over done, so older people who can't see the screen well, and blind people can experience the ad. IMHO

[Markennz]

agreed, i still like the ad a lot though.

[paulitics08]

Very good video

[secron7]

This may be the best I've seen-by far! But... You cannot have made the ad available to the public to win the contest. Mix it up and submit it. Peace.

[jubair22]

awesome vid dude

[ergotwotwo]

I can't wait to the ad that wins the competition, seeing how unbelievably bad ass this video is.

[americanism]

Go Ron Paul! Excellent video!

[mepea09]

Everyone, do NOT post your videos! They have to be privately submitted! this one is so awesome, but is disqualified now. I am sure you can make another sick one though.

[Deeptoad]

Well now, this could have been nothing more than a practice cut and not the final cut.

;-)

Still, this was a kick ass job. Very creative and has a lot of that nice, grungy illustration element tossed in.

This might be a disqualified clip, but I bet we've found the winning producer.

Woo hoo!

[VoteRonPaul08]

This one has my vote ;)

[midearmon]

This was an awesome vid. I could "feel" it. Music was perfect and the message was clear. you really felt like you were imagining it while you were watching.

Kinda awesome if you ak me.

[project1225]

That's.... amazing.

[whournameiz]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

[kaitenuser]

I like it, but I think you disqualified yourself for the CNN Youtube Contest...you can't release the video to the public.

[NINJ4JU4N]

Well done, sir!

[chaostherie]

KICK ASS!!!!

[RonPaulAdCompetition]

Check out the Ron Paul Ad Competition that we have going on right now!! Frankdogg and many of your other favorite Ron Paul video producers will hopefully be contributing to this effort.

[CharmingJerk]

I hae seen many of ads for Ron paul using this template and I like virtual all of them. Ron Paul should use one of these videos, or let his supports pick one for him.

[cujothekitten]

This one is awesome

[adelelles]

FLAGGED AS AWESOME

I hope they air this one A TON

[hershua]

awesome video! what editing software are you using? it looks really complex.

[msanchez007]

I love the music.

It get's attention because it seems like a movie trailer or something.

I thinks its cool for like a cable tv, like G4, Comedy Central, SciFi.

[kindrachuk]

excellant ad this is going to get attention!!!

[rios9000]

As cool as this ad is, Ron Paul's got to say he's approved the message and I don't know how that would fit. Regardless, I'd love to see him use this one or the CCR one.

[gunjin22]

Yep RP campaign has this video on its website. Music is similiar to Lions for Lambs soundtrack tone, it sounds good to me.

[myyyke]

yeah, i dont like the music in this one. dont think it would work well for the general public. the video is amazing though. if you could get the rights to music or use some copyright free music that fits well, itd be great to show this on TV. Have you spoken with the RP headquarters? Please give this to them :)

[davidhperry]

Is the campaign getting behind this video? I notice they linked to it on their iPhone section.

[lopez934]

This music is terrible.

[satan77777]

depends :)

I like it

[shutdownthefed]

the one with CCR has a more patriotic feel, dude this has to get on the air, stop at nothing get the CCR one on the air and ron will win no doubt, it strikes right to the heart of the message

[Nickelodeon2002]

Why the hell can't the RP campaign use this Vid instead of spending money on the 1st hokey video they put out?!?!? I'll bet this guy would "give away" this video to them.

Good Job on the Vid!

[thamnosma]

Now, all you young people referring to how "older" conservative people won't like this.  ROFLMAO!!! Are you guys kidding?

I'm 55, those a few years older than myself were at Woodstock, those my age invented MTV....you think we don't like this ad as much as you?

[thamnosma]

Wow, I love this ad. It's about time political ads get juiced up -- nice concept, good soundtrack, exciting and not a word spoken. Very cool.

I'm 55 and have been so bored with almost all political campaigns for a long, long time. The media is poorly used, the ads more like dull propaganda or posing.

This one just pops.

[nothingisnottaken]

Excellent video.

[TheHonorableFlamingo]

I think Ron is really trying to appeal to younger voters. I don't think older people will have a problem with this though. From my experience, they mostly dislike rap lyrics that they can't understand, I don't think too many will have a problem with this. It's catchy!

[PreservingLiberty]

I say find out what people listened to during Reagan's term, and use it

[PreservingLiberty]

I love it!! But I am young, and older people hate this music... we have to appeal to everyone, because we know the young people already have his back

[UserNameForYeeTube]

The other one's better, AT LEAST for TV broadcasting - I can't see older/more conservative people liking this music, for example.

[snrfrito]

Such sweet animation....

[selfTrust]

5 stars and favorited!

[kaksonen]

5/5 and subscribed

[dirtywork123]

I like this one better....for the youth!!

[AlisonChaynz]

deja vu

:)

[AlisonChaynz]

The vid with CCR is better - the music is happier sounding.

[AlisonChaynz]

The one with CCR is better, the music has "positive" energy - if you know what I mean.

[themaclady]

This is FABULOUS. Make sure the music can be used without copyright infringement and I'm sure the campaign will consider it.

[wyurm]

You have some serious talent. Maybe we can get some of your work televised.

[paulyd0021]

The Remix is way better because the music is happy, and it makes it seem like its going to be a happy america. This music reminds of some action film and a bomb is about to explode, not really fitting.

[heyerstandards]

Hoorah!

[noragirl123]

This vid rocks!!! Way to go, frankdogg.

I'm emailing it to my meetup group.

RP 08

[rubheswife]

This is GREAT! It is so much better than the first tv ad the campaign made. How do we go about getting this seen past youtube?

[jimmydeals15106]

Great ads and we need to get more people to see this.

[directorNY]

This is the best political video ever. You get a lot of respect from me. Send this to the campaign. much better than the first commercial.much better.

I can't believe we raised that much money and we don't get any news coverage. This country is becoming pothetic.

[lastnymleft]

Man, you've got Talent with a capital-T!

I'm so glad you've chosen to use it for Good, not Evil!

[anyusmoon1]

DITTO!!!! DITTO!!!! DITTO!!!

Beautiful job Frankdogg. Man! 10 STARS.

[anime4girl]

Simply majestic!!!!!!!!!!

[robj916]

this is the best one yet!  Much better! Someone send it to the campaign!

[dirtywork123]

Great Ad!!...Love this!

[hadley666]

Omg Get this on the air

[skysurfer]

Best political ad I've seen - actually shows some creativity! If I saw that on TV it would get my attention.

[brd3tc]

GREAT !!!!!!!

[hazzzer]

I like it, it would be good during NASCAR!

[frankdogg]

Thanks everybody! He has such an awesome message, it's easy to make ads for him! :)

Please link to this video and send it out to your friends/family and get the message out there! The mainstream media push we are sure to see in the next coming days with the record donation numbers can get people asking, Who is Ron Paul? And hopefully this can be a stepping stone in telling them!

[xMizzlex]

Very nice Ad!

RON PAUL!

We are breaking a historical record today.  Please Donate!

[snakexmg]

Very impressive and catchy, the best 30 seconds AD i have seen until now. Great Work.

[marco114]

KICK ASS!

[mtamizi]

This is a fantastic ad. It is well made, professional, and gets the point across. This should be aired on TV

[smoothmedia]

Wow, extremely impressive ad!

[me4ronpaul]

Go Ron!!! The 5th of November is going down in History!
