The Thomas Peterffy Advert: Freedom to Succeed

I had heard of this self-funded advertisement on Facebook yesterday. Today I saw it on CNBC when I was catching up on the market.

This should give you goosebumps. This should make you choke up. I hope once you watch it silly ideas fly through your head about the importance of acting on your beliefs.

It made me wonder: What if we each told, in this clear manner, why we are voting the way we will vote? I’m going to put some thought into that.

What I love most about this commercial is that he made it personal. He made it simple. And Peterffy is very, very effective. He came from a socialist environment and sees enough that worries him now to spend his money telling us about it.

Let me know what you think.
