--> $10 Million Reached - Now's it's ON TO $12 MILLION - who's with us? <--

The whole point of this is to infuse HQ with enough cash NOW, in order to positively affect the early primary states. A very worthy goal, indeed.

So I say, regardless of where we end up today, we should continue to give, continue to promote and give HQ as much money as we can.

The Tea Party efforts on Dec. 16 will do much for publicity, but funds raised on that day will not be in time to help with TV & radio time for the early primaries.

Our dollars today will affect the early primaries.

RudysReadingList is still going strong...

Agreed. Thank you so much for all your efforts "pushing it."

 

[ChrisV]

Well, I guess I'm in for another $100. Going to donate now.

EDIT: Make that $150

 

[kotetu]

fantastic!

And when you've donated, write some letters!

I've got names! $12 million and Iowa! Let's do it!

 

[Menthol Patch]

Lets push all the way up to 12 million dollars!

 

[Menthol Patch]

Lets go all out to reach 12 million! We can do this!

 

[Original_Intent]

Well, if by later this afternoon, it looks like we can't make the $12 million mark, we should certainly try for $11 million today... that would mean that we raised over $1 million in one day, with little more than a week's worth of promotion effort.

See I thought what we had all agreed upon was that regardless of how today went that we would all get behind the TeaParty Starting tomorrow,

But now already one of the noobs on the forum is getting people worked up on continually giving what you can each day rather than saving up for the bomb.

Clueless.

If today is a media failure don't blame non-participants who are waiting for the 16th (I am not one of them as I will be giving during the "bomb within a bomb" this evening) if we get bad media coverage due to a half assed bomb today blame all the forum noobs and Bydlak.

I personally hope that we can get today to the point it is not a failure, but seriously, God help this campaign if we fail today AND fail on December 16th due to people who focus on tactics and ignore strategy.

Hopefully the bomb within a bomb this evening will raise $1 million in an hour to give the media some POSITIVE news to report on today.

 

[Menthol Patch]

We are going to raise 12 million dollars today and the media attention will help the Tea Party be even MORE successful!

 

[Menthol Patch]

The Tea Party is going to happen! Nothing is going to stop it from happening! However, we are going to reach 12 million dollars to day and that will give the Tea Party a huge boost!

Why i love the ticker!!

Every time i see it i think of each and every individual who has helped make this number grow so high! It makes me feel so good when i can tell people that this money is raised by regular Joes like you and me and not by illagetament sources. To me this shows extraordinary evidence supporting the notion that while the media may not be behind the freedom movement, the masses are.

I smell R3VOLution

I already have donations lined up from family for the 16th. I see no reason why today will fail and it comes on the coat tails of that rediculous debate.

We all got the same letter from headquarters about donating now due to the expenses for advertizing. Jump on the bandwagon and see this as a positive leap.

I totally agree!

Everything about today's money bomb is positive!

It's going to give Ron Paul the money he needs to win the early primaries.

It's going to give the Tea Party a HUGE boost of publicity.

It's going to gain us more supporters because we will prove Ron Paul can win!

 

[Menthol Patch]

Anyone willing to make a donation on this thread?

I would agree that once today is over, (for those who have donated as much as they can today), they would be wise to save up for Dec. 16th, starting this Saturday, December 1st.

However, if we can infuse Headquarters with $1-2 million in cash today, that will be more than enough to tie them over for 16 more days, and will give them a solid bankroll to pay for TV & Radio ads that will affect the early primaries.

Nothing can stop the Tea Party, period. People generally have more money than they say, or realize. For most, it's simply a matter of priorities and how they want to spend their disposable income during the next couple of weeks; most of the time, if folks sit down and figure out how to give both today and Dec. 16th, there is usually a way for them to do that. They might have to go out to eat less, spend less for Christmas presents, or quit drinking that daily $3 Starbucks cup-a-joe. There is always ways to get more money, if you take time to think about it and take real efforts to reach a goal.

Give people a small goal and that's what you'll reach - a small goal. Give people a larger, more exciting vision and goal... one that can actually help to change history, well, that will bring exponential growth and we stand a good chance of hitting that larger goal, and making history.

Nobody is going to "blame" anyone here. We're all on the same team, and who in their right mind would criticize someone who gives to the campaign, whether it's today, next week, or for the Tea Party? A lot of today's donations are probably coming from new donors. We don't want to squash their enthusiasm - heck, we need to encourage them and join them, not fight them.

I say, KEEP THE MOMENTUM going.
