First order of business is to correct the link from the above article (couldn't test in draft form).
This is the link for all three versions of the download for this ad. Second, I ask that all who read this, please refer it to any ping list you are in. I hope most of the Ping Masters on FR will decide this is of interest and get the word out. It's not only important that as many people see this as possible, it is also important that they see it as SOON as possible.

No link! Just get the "doesn't exist on this server" message.

Great ad, but CFR aside, I don't think you have enough time to put it on air before next Tuesday.

The link at the end of the article is defective. The link in my response #3 does work. Can you dump the bad one, and replace with the good one? (I did try to check the link's functionality in the draft form before posting, but on articles it doesn't allow that.)

Ok, got the link now. Bad news though, even for broadband users (my cable modem will download at 3000 Kbps, T1 speed), it's a mega-slow download. Don't try watching live... it's an hour-long download, at around 6-7 KBps max speed from this server.

Plenty of time. My production company can deliver the ad ready to go, to any station in the nation, immediately. I can pay in full with my Platinum card, so the station is paid in advance -- as always required for political ads.
So, yes, it CAN be done.

If you're making a point of the ad not mentioning your possible run for Congress, you need to quickly get another website address (even if it's just one that immediately redirects to the existing one). www.ArmorforCongress.com is pretty plain about your future plans.

Use the smallest version of the downlink. Even on my wood-burning dial-up access, the smallest version comes down in about 90 seconds -- in background if you want, just let it run. And the small version is surprisingly clear on the screen. It's not herky jerky.

Amen to all of the above!
Only of tangential relevance, but, using Title 10, Section 311 of the United States Code as the model, what are the odds of getting the entire country declared a "free speech zone" so we can get rid of those odious cages?
To: GovernmentShrinker
I thought about the point you raise. However, the first thing on that website on the upper left with a big headline, makes the situation clear. It says that I MIGHT be running, depending on realistic considerations.
I'm not hiding my situation by any means. There is a hotly contested race here, right now, between Taylor (the longtime incumbent) and Keever (the liberal Democrat). Obviously, which one is the target has a lot to do with my thinking.
Second, as I set out in chapter and verse on my website, one of my book was on reelection of incumbents to Congress. I have a very clear idea of the minimum funds and volunteers needed for a creditable campaign. I'm not into hopeless efforts. If it's not realistic, I ain't gonna do it.
I considered the idea of using a neutral e-mail address. I concluded that would be like I was trying to hide something. Didn't want to give that impression. Right or wrong, that's what I considered.

Oh, PLEASE do not use the "quotation marks" gesture! It let's people take you less seriously.
To: Congressman Billybob
I didn't realize you had your own production company. In that case, go for it!

I don't have my own production company. I have some able folks who are, temporarily, in my employ. LOL.

To late to change anything, including the "quotation" marks. I went through the tortures of the damned to get this ad to the point where it is, today.

You know you have my support 100%, and all of our appreciation. CFR has to be trounced. You are doing great work, and I hope your name will be held in high esteem in future law school texts.
To: Congressman Billybob; Spiff
Spiff, are you still able to work miracles?

You need to post this again because it didn't get the attention it deserves. A post this evening for the night crowd and a repost in the morning for the morning crowd would be good.
