‘Ready for Ron’ launches $3.3 Million National Independent Expenditure Campaign

Ready for Ron

Ready for Ron, the only credible independent group working to draft Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to run for President, launched a $3.3 million Independent Expenditure campaign to build the grassroots “ground game” to support a DeSantis Presidential candidacy. As detailed in a recent FEC report the campaign includes $2.3 million in national television advertising – at a rate of $100,000 per week – and $1 million for phone, mail, and digital outreach efforts. “This is a critical investment to engage the public with our message that Joe Biden and the Democrats are the problem, and electing Ron DeSantis is the solution. We must build up the national volunteer network it will take to win,” stated Dan Backer Counsel to Ready for Ron. “Following 3 straight election losses, it is clear, blowing big money on consultants for flashy ads that just talk at voters fails – but we see time and time again that our unique strategy of direct engagement creates real results around which we can build a winning ground game. We are pursuing a volunteer driven strategy that cuts out high-priced consultants and puts every penny into building the infrastructure to support a DeSantis candidacy.” In an interview with the Financial Times, Backer explained that “the purpose of the ad spending was to create ‘the backbone of a real ground game’ for DeSantis and ‘convince DeSantis that he has the grassroots support to run and win in a general election’. He added that Ready for Ron wanted to ‘bring in a whole host of people who aren’t part of the current universe’, including those who are not part of Trump’s base of conservative voters, which has dominated Republican campaigns in recent years. Fox News reported that In November Ready for Ron had already announced its petition has received more than 100,000 signatures. The petition is also the focus of a lawsuit Ready for Ron brought in the U.S. District Court for D.C. against the Federal Election Commission (FEC) challenging an FEC Advisory Opinion preventing Ready for Ron from sharing with Governor DeSantis the names of those who signed a petition encouraging him to challenge Joe Biden. Comments from Dan Backer featured in a Newsmax story focused on how the Ready for Ron “…spending should help ‘offset any competitive advantage that any other campaigns may or may not have”….between now and a hoped-for eventual announcement of a DeSantis candidacy. Politico also reported the news in its popular Playbook and Influence newsletters. In interviews with The Daily Caller and The Washington Examiner, Backer stated, “Ready for Ron is investing heavily in drafting Ron DeSantis to run for president in 2024, knowing that he is the Republican Party’s best chance to win back the White House. DeSantis’ pro-freedom platform has made Florida the best state to live in America — I know, I moved here — and we won’t stop until that platform goes national for all Americans to enjoy.” Since its launch in late May, Ready for Ron has enlisted more than one hundred twenty thousand supporters to build on-the-ground grassroots support, generated significant media attention, and produced and placed advertising to convince Ron DeSantis to run for President. Ready for Ron has emerged as the most successful and credible independent organization in support of a Ron DeSantis candidacy. Following nearly nine months of work by Ready for Ron, Governor DeSantis has a growing lead in polls in key states. The advertising efforts, phone calls, petition, and grassroots campaigns are helping generate significant leads in early primary and key battleground states and in the hearts and minds of the American people. Ready for Ron continues its TV and online advertising efforts to engage Americans to sign the petition at ReadyForRon.com to Draft Ron DeSantis to run in 2024. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with a ‘Ready for Ron’ spokesperson, please contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@readyforron.com.

Minuteman Press Franchise in Denver Acquires 31-Year Business A Great American Print Shop

Minuteman Press International Inc

Abel Corral, owner of Minuteman Press in Denver located at 4725 Paris Street, Suite 200, has acquired independent printing business A Great American Print Shop from retiring owner Frank Hibberd. A Great American Print Shop operated in Denver for 31 years. When Frank received a mailer from Minuteman Press, he reached out to Regional VP Jack Panzer. Jack says, “Frank wanted to retire and I told him about our unique ability to help independent print shops sell their business. I connected him with Abel, who had expressed interest growing and expanding his business through an acquisition. I am glad they were able to work out a deal, and I wish Frank all the best in retirement.” On the acquisition, Abel Corral says, “The acquisition came about on the heels of our three year anniversary; this is also our second acquisition in two years. I was looking for a way to grow my business and so I let it be known to Jack Panzer that I’d be interested in acquiring another print shop.” Abel continues, “A Great American Print Shop was strategically located within an area that I already reach and market to and so this acquisition just seemed like a good fit. I really liked that this was an established business with growth potential that I feel my team could capitalize on. The potential upside, close proximity, and perfect timing all came into play.” He adds, “The acquisition included an established client base, paper inventory, some equipment including cutters, and access to Frank during the transition. I expect this acquisition to help increase revenue by 20-25%. Also, this acquisition benefits AGAP’s customers in three key ways: First, we have received all of the previous artwork for AGAP clients to ensure a seamless transition as we serve their print, design, and mailing needs. Second, we will be able to offer promotional products and apparel to AGAP clients, which were not previously available. Third, we will be providing value-added local customer service and client support. Our Minuteman Press location is near Peoria & Interstate 70: 4725 Paris St. #200, Denver, CO 80239, inside the Pinecreek Office Center. We are also offering free delivery to AGAP customers.” Abel concludes, “I’m very grateful that my Regional VP Jack Panzer helped me by presenting this opportunity and helping me through the process. I expect this could be a game-changer for our business.” Abel Corral’s Minuteman Press franchise in Denver is located at 4725 Paris Street, Suite 200, Denver, CO 80239.

Power Digital Named 2023 Best Places to Work by Ad Age

Power Digital

Power Digital, the leading growth marketing firm that ignites revenue and brand recognition for companies around the world, has been named one of the Ad Age Best Places to Work 2023. It is an annual ranking of companies that lead the pack in factors like pay and benefits, work/life balance, recruitment and training and development. The list honors 50 companies that did a standout job over the past year as the ad business was met with the challenges of a weakening economy, changing media market and a continued tight talent pool. The winners, which reflect those with the highest overall numerical scores based on an analysis of questionnaires submitted by employers and survey responses from their employees, were announced in Ad Age’s Best Places to Work print issue (published Jan. 23) and online at AdAge.com. Power Digital’s people strategy in 2022 was a combination of recognizing a job well done through generous bonus and commission programs and promotions that could be earned any time throughout the year, and a training program that sets the path for career development in every role. The company offers unlimited paid time off and provides monthly recharge days on months that don’t include federal holidays. Power Digital is remote-first with flexible setups to work hybrid, in-person or fully remote to ensure a balanced work life.

Our clients experience a 2.4x higher revenue growth rate in the first six months of engagement compared to industry averages because of our people’s mindset to always be learning, growing and going above and beyond,” said Jeff Mason, President of Power Digital. In 2022, Power Digital conducted over 160 promotions and held over 400 training sessions to make sure that their people reached their full potential. As a result, it experienced a 95% team retention rate last year. The company uses multiple frameworks to encourage a continuous growth mindset. One of the exercises, called The Vital 5, helps set annual goals across personal development, earnings, role and career, and outlines the support individuals need from the company and management to hit their goals. “The tight labor market forced every business in the industry to compete for talent, and the 2023 Best Places to Work winners proved the value of understanding what employees want today,” said Dan Peres, president and editor-in-chief of Ad Age. “Companies will face challenges this year with the economy and ongoing effects of the pandemic, but winning workplaces understand that taking care of employees is central to business success.” Ad Age produced Best Places to Work 2023 in partnership with Best Companies Group, a research firm specializing in identifying and recognizing great places to work.

NLPC Calls Upon Special Counsel to Search Biden’s Senate Records Stored at University of Delaware for Additional Classified Documents

National Legal & Policy Center

The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) has called upon the Special Counsel to conduct a search of Biden’s Senate records stored at the University of Delaware. The request follows revelations that additional classified documents were discovered Friday at President Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, during a 13-hour search by the FBI. The documents reportedly include at least one document from the time that Biden served in the Senate. In 2011, Biden donated a treasure trove of documents from his 36-year career in the U.S. Senate (January 1973-January 2009) that fills 1,875 boxes and also includes 415 gigabytes of electronic records. During his Senate career, Biden was Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee or its ranking member and had access to many classified documents. “The FBI needs to search the entire 14,000 square foot Penn Biden Center where classified documents were found by his private attorneys searching only Biden’s private office on November 2 nd. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who served as managing director also had an office there. The FBI also needs to search Biden’s Senate records stored at the University of Delaware as well as his beach home,” said NLPC Counsel, Paul Kamenar. “This scavenger hunt for classified documents has been a total farce and insult to the American people,” said Peter Flaherty, Chairman of NLPC. “The House Oversight Committee, Special Counsel, and NLPC’s FOIA investigation need to get to the bottom of Biden’s mishandling classified information.” NLPC has also criticized the handling of this matter by Biden’s private attorneys who are not cleared to review classified information and who may have tainted evidence of a crime with their fingerprints and mishandling. A major question remains unanswered: why did Biden decide two years after he occupied the White House to move his office at the Biden Center and why hire expensive private attorneys to do so instead of Biden Center staff? Other locations that Biden occupied since leaving office in January 2017 should also be searched. He first had a temporary transition office set up by GSA near the White House. Then a temporary Penn Biden Center facility was opened mid-town in Washington, D.C., before the office was opened in February 2018 near the Capitol. Biden also rented a 12,000 square-foot mansion in McLean, Virginia at $20,000 a month after he left the White House, about twice the size of his home in Wilmington, Delaware. NLPC has been investigating the Biden Center since early 2020 and its funding by Chinese donations, much of it anonymous. NLPC filed a complaint with the Department of Education in May 2020 and with the Department of Justice that both Hunter Biden and the Biden Center should be registered as a foreign agents with China under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. ### Please visit http://www.nlpc.org. For more information or to schedule an interview with a NLPC spokesperson, please contact Dan Rene at drene@nlpc.org or call 202-329-8357. Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action.

How FatBrain AI Is Helping Protect Small Businesses From Ransomware Attacks

FatBrAin

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Small-to-medium-sized enterprises, also known as SMEs, make up over 90% of businesses around the world and approximately half of global employment. In the U.S., SMEs account for 44% of all U.S. economic activity and produce the bulk of GDP output. These SMEs are heavily reliant on, and often at the mercy of, programs like QuickBooks and Salesforce. 64% of QuickBooks users come from SMEs, and of that percentage. Salesforce has over 150,000 subscribers. While these programs are fantastic tools for SMEs, they are also vulnerable to ransomware attacks. SMEs do not have the same technical expertise, staffing, and secure infrastructure that companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), IBM (NYSE: IBM), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) do. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help bridge the technological divide. FatBrain AI (LZG International, Inc.) (OTCQB: LZGI) is on the front lines of this battle. FatBrain markets itself as “AI for Everyone” and caters specifically to SMEs. The company is focused on simplifying decision-making for SMEs and giving them the power to harness big data and AI to grow, protect and expand their businesses. How Is FatBrain Protecting SMEs From Ransomware Attacks More than 50% of SMEs are expected to experience a ransomware attack, and when this happens, all the data stored on QuickBooks and Salesforce could be lost or at the very least inaccessible for an extended period. For small businesses, this would be devastating and costly. FatBrain has created RansomProof - AI software that can have a real impact on securing a small business’ systems and data and ensure small businesses will be safe. RansomProof is free forever to SMEs because the company believes in leveling the playing field between big businesses and SMEs. RansomProof is simple to use - SMEs simply need to register their QuickBooks and Salesforce accounts with FatBrain’s RansomProof and their data will be backed up daily, 365 days a year; no expensive consultants or advanced technical knowledge required. All data between FatBrain’s servers and the company is encrypted with the highest industry standards (128-bit TLS). Data is kept secure with multiple servers housed in secure data centers that have strict access controls. By ensuring that data is constantly backed up, SMEs can rest assured that even if a ransomware attack comes their way, they are protected and their data is safe. FatBrain is bringing AI to small businesses in a digestible, simple way. To learn more about RansomProof, click here. This article was originally published on Benzinga here.
