This is awesome.

We know what to do.

We can do this with Ed Asner's spot.

TV advertising is the next thing. We are staged well in the right moment for this...AE911Truth is a juggernaut and the TV industry is hungry for money. TV ads will snowball into prompting more news stories. We can really win with this.
An interesting note on the "credence level" of TV ADS: If it is shown on TV, it becomes "credible", it becomes "true", it becomes "real and mainstream" in the eyes of the audience.

Late night ads at a local station can cost only $20.
I got "Shark Week" on the Discovery Channel at 8pm time slot with 30 second ads costing $60 back around the year 2001 when promoting some local area stores.

There are some incredible values which can be obtained by TV ads. Depending upon the channel, the targeted demographic and locality, the "negotiations skills and working capital", and some other factors ...it is very realistic to get scores of TV ads costing an average of $50-100 each.

Below is A Brief “How To” for any person who wants to call your local area stations.
First:
In a local area, watch TV to see what channels and time frames different local companies are advertising on TV. Try to diversify observations to include all local channels, and also the medium (such as Cable or Direct TV).
This is the first clue of “who to call”. Often a person will see local “personal injury lawyers” or restaurants or instructional schools or local dealerships advertising. Many of these local ads run during the daytime or late at night when rates are cheaper. Prime-time news slots and hit shows cost more, but some good deals can still be gotten.

Second:
Make a list of who to call. Often a major TV station will also own other channels (and radio stations). Some local channels play reruns of popular shows and this is an excellent source. With cable or Direct TV, a specific zip code area and specific channel can be used to advertise on in order to get a lower rate.

Third:
Determine how much money total that you are going to spend on the campaign. Sales people in the broadcast industry do not want to waste time on a few hundred dollars. However, if you approach them with “Our organization has a budget of $2,000 on our first run of TV ads, then we will probably spend much more money in the future if this TV campaign proves successful.” …then you will get the sales person to salivate towards working with you.

- During certain periods of the year, such as elections or pre-Christmas, the sales people are not as hungry.

- TV rates are actually arbitrary. The station always has a “guide of rates”, but this is so they can discount to you in a variety of ways. For example: A station may discount by giving you extra ads for free.

Fourth:
Call the station or cable company asking to speak to someone in sales.
“Our organization has a budget of $2,000 on our first run of TV ads, then we will probably spend much more money in the future if this TV campaign proves successful.”

Prior to your call, have in mind what type of demographic you are marketing to. (For example: Viewers of Discovery Channel or viewers of Gilligan’s Island) Some aspects of demographics can be almost paradoxical. (For example: It is true that more affluent areas tend to be book readers. It might not be true that more affluent areas are “activism motivated”.) Anyway, prior to your call have in mind what type of demographic you are targeting.

Fifth:
Take it from there.
They will send you a proposal with time slots and programs and itemized costs.
(Sometimes it helps if you have a fax line so they can fax a printout of the proposed schedule. Technology has changed so much within the past 6 years that I do not know how the current protocol is.)

After you settle upon a proposal, then ask if they can throw in some extra ads, even very late night (which sometimes normally cost $20).

Ad Agency
In the 80’s, when I was buying TV ads in a different city every week for traveling dress sales, after I completed all the above mentioned negotiations, I would then mention that “we are an in-house ad agency” and want our agency fee of 10% or 15%.
How ad agencies work currently, I am unfamiliar with.
I do NOT recommend utilizing the “Ad Agency Kickback” when beginning on the TV advertising campaigns. However, this data is useful to be aware of for a future reference if one is going to be spending lots of money in on-going advertising campaigns.

Your 28 second or 58 second TV ad CLIP
Find out what the specs are for their TV ad.
Try to find someone who independently can put together your ad according to the specs.

The TV stations can help produce your ad. Often the expense is not worth it.
It is always best to “direct your own ad footage and voice over”. You know what you are trying to communicate better than the TV station.

Who is that little punk calling "paranoid fringe?"

I'd have him know we have every reason to be paranoid.

.......How about a fund raising drive for the TRUTH ?
