Ok, I did a quick search on 527's in FR forums and didn't find a more appropriate place for this, so I will start a thread to be a reference and link repository for this idea.
As of today, it appears Mr. Obama is going to be the Dem's Presidential candidate in 2008, unless the Clintstones manage to pull something out with their dirty tricks.
This presents one more of many problems for true conservatives in this election, namely, that Mr. Obama is, at best, and empty suit, or worst, a flaming commie, in the arena of ideas, and our side will not be able to effectivly communicate this without taking some hits for picking on the black guy (or the woman). We all know Mr McCain would rather be liked by his opponents than be voted for in greater numbers, so it's unlikely the things needed to be said will come from his campaign. It certainly won't come from the mainstream media.
So, to help overcome this problem, I'm suggesting, and hoping for a discussion to gain ground, starting here, to explore the possibility and organization (and ideas) involved in forming a separate 527 corporation, on the order of Club for Growth or the Swiftboat Vets, to produce and run targeted advertisements and internet videos to counter the Obama's campaign, it's 527 cronys, and the onslaught of the mainstream media. We need to communicate the things the media and our candidate will NOT say, in order to educate the masses of voters who will vote for someone based only on ideas such as change for change's sake.
I am hoping we can find the talents and organizational skills and even sponsorships for necessary production expenses here in FR and the friendly side of the blogosphere. Among the needs we will need to fill are legal, organizational, production, fund raising, marketing, and overall social networking. This would have to be comprised of volunteers who are devoted to the cause.
I am underemployed, with 18 years of IT skills, and a good mind for campaign strategy. I would be willing to devote a majority of my time to helping in any manner I can, from technical internet-related tasks such as website setup/maintenance, communication systems, and youtube.com distribution to strategy planning and script writing, and possibly even production of said video/graphic advertisements to advance our cause. I'm in southern Wisconsin and will arrange email contact for those interested in organizing with us.
Thank you for reading my vanity. I don't know if it will get anywhere without your help. If you are interested in joining a ping list, respond to me or in this thread. Invite your friends and contacts who might help. Reply with ideas and discussions, and bump the thread periodically to build awareness for us.
Lighting the beacon of truth.
Let’s help this guy out.
Are you the Snerdley Rush keeps referring to?
Nope I am not that Snerdley, but I took the nickname years ago (18 or so).
Thank you for bumping the thread. Feel free to link to likely blogs or similar sites related to this cause (creating or funding a 527 with the goal to counter the Dems, Media, and McCain’s hamstrung campaign.
I just sent you a FRmail with a couple of suggestions
I totally agree with you, this is the election from He!! but there is a difference between dark grey and totally black future(meant in a good vs. bad sense, absolutely no racism here, give me JC Watts or Condi for Veep anyday).
Do you remember when JC Watts was running in Oklahoma
and the democrats went back to his player days, when
he had an Afro to try to get racists to vote against him?
Thanks for the PING
No problem :)
I am pretty ignorant of 527 rules. However, I realize the effectiveness they can have.
I have no idea what they are either. I just saw the thread, and pinged people whose names I remember on here while bumping it. I do think it’s a fantastic idea though.
Not sure what I can do but I’m willing to help if needed.
PING - it’s a needed idea.

bttt
I’ve been wishing for this. I pray that it will get off the ground. We really do need a 527 to combat people like Soros.
As Rush has explained several times, Snerdley is a fictitious character that he (Rush) created.
It's amazing the callers that believe Snerdley is a real person...........

I have some concern about raising money using the FR name and access.
Unless Officially recognized I wonder if it would effect other fundraising.
