me too and please whole weekend bomb!
As I said, I have bringthemhome2012 registered...
I'm on an ipad right now, so can't do much until I get home... but if dusman or anyone wants to use it, they can pm me.
I don't really see vetsforpaul taking off the way bth would. If it's been ready for a week already and has only 2 subscribers, that alone is telling. If people can't agree and we end up with 2 sites, who cares? We still send our donations to the same place on the same day.

well i wouldnt use the word it "fails". it's a little demeaning...
but I would agree that BTH provokes an emotional response than vetsforpaul. most people don't care about vets sad fact
i mean, everybody respects them, but they really dont care that much. and that's a whole different battle.we can still tie vets with BTH, but the main theme should be BTH. we will get major support with families who have military relatives serving outside the US. I think we'll get a bigger response with Bring them Home than with Vets for Paul. We can still turn it around, whoever started vetsforpaul can head up the new bringthemhome money bomb, that's ofcourse unless lucent wants to lead it. it's just a change in the name... our purpose is still the same!
I mean major support as in family members spreading the word out about ron paul... this can be a gateway for people to have a second look at ron paul.

Well we want to bring them home so more soldiers become vets instead of casualties.
the objection to vetsforpaul.com is noted. veteransdaymoneybomb.com is the straight forward one.
Gage, Dusman, Justinpagewood and whoever else has a currently hot hand should hammer that out.
Also, they should have at least one event to go with.

veteransdaymoneybomb.com isn't exactly inspiring. To market something you need to have a marketable message. "Donate on Veteran's Day" isn't one.
I personally don't care. Supportthetroops was another choice. I prefer something neutral that points to 2 clear winner, not divisive issues. Ron Paul is a veteran. He gets the most money from active military. Gage, Dusman, Justinpagewood and others might want to tweak things.
But those guys have hot hands right now, so I'm confident that whatever tweaks they make will be fine. vetsdaydonation.com
This particular moneybomb is not designed to appeal to the same 18-29 demo that blackthisout.com was designed to appeal to. This is one that will skew older, more LRPV.
It's good to have a balance between the types.

This is for our troops. Our 100/100 plan - 100$ for Ron Paul Campaign and 100 minutes face time going door to door or in front of Supermarket with signs "Support Our Troops, Bring Them Home!" Also, have decent size visuals of who the active military supports! Easy to do and I am sure we can all go above and beyond if we wish.
RECOMMEND A TWO DAY - 48 HOUR MONEYBOMB!!!
I would strongly recommend for the Forums's consideration a two day, 48 hour Mone Bomb!!! On Day Two of the BTO Money Bomb $292,743.93 additional dollars were raised by us for the campaign.
In addition, I and I do not think virtually anyone would trust the Campaign IT Staff again. The two hour Computer Bandwith Failure on Oct 19th really hurt the BTO Money Bomb.....We cannot afford to have that happen again!!!
A two day Money Bomb would avoid that possiblity from hurting the event and the extra time would raise more money for the Campaign who needs it especially this quarter....

"Support Our Troops Money Bomb"
Hear me out:
1. This phrase resonates well with most Americans AND it evokes a strong emotional response.
2. It evokes an even STRONGER emitonal response with Ron Paul's base (us) becuase we know that supporting troops is not the same thing as supporting unconstitutional wars.
3. We stick it to the propaganda machine (who created that phrase) by stealing thier phrase and launching a nationwide campaign around it: A campaign to teach people how to REALLY support our troops. We re-define and re-brand thier phrase, just like they re-branded and re-defined our Tea Party.
Bottom line:
If we promote this just right, I bet people who are NOT Ron Paul supporters will STILL want to share the videos. Why fight against the (well intentioned) patriotism of the general public? Why not use it? Why not tap into it? We all feel patriotism, and so does everyone else. Let's focus on helping poeple understand what true patriotism is, rather than try to separate them from somthing that runs very deep with most people.
I love the other ideas, but they will not go viral. "Support our Troops" (right around veterans day!!!!!) COULD go viral. We just need to sprinkle a little education/information on top. Ride the wave!
Thoughts??

Sorry. It doesn't because when I hear the phrase I think care packages and waving an American flag.
Ugh. I've been going back and forth with the owner for 2 days... how much did you offer him?
Bringthemhome or justcomehome, imo, are the only options. Justcomehome.com wants too much to sell. Bringthemhome.com is doable... or we could use bringthemhome2012 if the price ends up being unreasonable for bth.
Has anyone put together a video or videos that could be used for this yet?

This is pretty solid.
Many of us got involved in politics because of said unconstitutional wars.
The destruction, loss of life, and costs make us uncomfortable to say the least.
