BURNET, Texas (Feb. 28) – The Lee Wrights for President campaign now has the first Vote Libertarian TV ad available for use by Libertarian candidates and local party affiliates. The 30-second spot called “War Breeds War” ends with a simple call to vote Libertarian.
“This is a universal message we think will resonate with all voters,” said Thomas Hill, Wrights 2012 campaign manager. “Any candidate can use it. Certainly, state and local Libertarian Party chapters can use it.”
This is the first in a series of spots the Wrights campaign plans to produce and make available to Libertarian candidates and affiliates free-of-charge. Each commercial will also be customizable. Candidates of affiliates will be able to insert their own message at the end of the spot.
The campaign’s goal is to produce several spots, each focusing on a single topic and emphasizing a principled libertarian position on a current issue.
Candidates and local or state organizations interested in obtaining these spots should contact Hill at campaign@wrights2012.com.

R. Lee Wrights, 53, a libertarian writer and political activist, is seeking the presidential nomination because he believes the Libertarian message in 2012 must be a loud, clear and unequivocal call to stop all war. To that end he has pledged that 10 percent of all donations to his campaign will be spent for ballot access so that the stop all war message can be heard in all 50 states. Wrights is a lifetime member of the Libertarian Party and co-founder and editor of the free speech online magazine Liberty For All. Born in Winston-Salem, N.C., he now lives and works in Texas.

If the message is clear the response should also be clear. Unfortunately, Lee Wrights is a lone voice of reason in a race of garbage.
Thank you again to Lee Wrights for applying the work necessary.

Wouldn’t it be great if Wrights won the LP nomination and Castle won the CP nomination? Then two really good representatives of their respective parties could spread the word in November against the total bullshit that Obama and Romney/Santorum/Gingrich will be spreading in addition to the AE nominee who will probably some jerkoff like Bloomberg. Oh well, one can only dream…

Actually, Roger Gary would be okay as well as the LP nominee.

I am glad lee is doing this. i have been a big fan of TV ads. i blieve we are going to run this on CNN in Atlanta in the next two weeks. It is going to cost about 30.00$ to run this ad on CNN during primetime. If you want us to run more of them you can call me at 770-861-5855 to donate or contact the Wrights campaign. If you want to get the ad altered to only say your county party let me know and I will get it arranged.

Great ad! Now let’s just hope that some of our candidates actually use it.
PEACE

That is a great ad. Thanks Lee Wrights and team for producing it.

Well done! Every LP campaign should follow this example of moving the ball forward for the next campaign and the next candidate by building resources and promoting the LP brand.

Good job, Lee and your crew!

This one seems improved from the last version. There are some audio problems, but a nice effort.
Still, what is this an ad for? A generic LP ad? A Wrights for prez ad? My feedback is: If you want to sell something, sell it…without apologies.
The takeaway is war is bad, peace is good. War creates poverty; peace creates prosperity. I’m down with the concept personally, but I do wonder whether the abstraction sells.

What would Donald Draper say?

I’ll agree with everyone else — nicely done! Short and to the point. Kudos to Lee Wrights and his campaign.

G’Day! Independentpoliticalreport,
Thanks for your thoughts, Are you knowledgeable of the two major parts of any advertising and marketing campaign? It shouldn’t occur as any shock what the very first one is when you consider that it gets pounded into any marketers head. The headline. The 2nd just one is further of a problem to figure out unless of course you are a copywriting guru. Even if it could be the variation involving making substantial profits or scratching your head concerned about why no a person is intrigued in your present.
Great Job!
