I don't think this has been the subject of a diary entry yet. At least I couldn't find it, if so.
There are Dean supporters in Washington who have been raising money to run radio ads supporting Dean on Friday. Here's the link to donate. They are asking that you donate to DFA instead if you haven't maxed out contributions yet. I have, so I donated $50 for the Washington ads. Here's Joan in Seattle's pitch for the radio ads. More info is available by following the donate link.
"OK DEANOCRATS!!! Here's the update on WA STATE ads!
- This is a blog action...HQ will not be placing ads in WA State. This is official.
- I finally have the info on radio from my radio contact, and that is the better way to go for maximum impact per dollar.
- For...drumroll please....$175....we can have a 1 minute ad during drive time. We can write the ads and be on the air tomorrow eve drive time, then Fri am and pm drive time.
- we currently have $1575. This would buy just under 10 spots.
- For $6000, we could have a very respectable presence in King County, where more than half the precints are located.
- For $12,000 we can hit 5 cities at almost saturation levels Thurs pm and Fri am and pm.
We are working on the ads, which will address Dean's record and electability. Maybe a Harry and Louise format.
- Click my name to get to paypal, then enter joanne88@comcast.net to donate.
- If you live near Seattle, we need male and female voice talent and a place to record. Please email me if you can do this or rope someone into it.
Please repost this throughout the evening.
Thanks,
Joan in Seattle"
At last update, they had about $3600. The ad is about ready to go and will run tomorrow. It will be posted to the donation link when ready.
