11/11/11 - "Bring Them Home" (BTH) Moneybomb - Idea Thread

[chris41336]

So...have we decided to go with another theme rather than this? I thought this theme won the poll. I see the other planning thread here and not this one. Personally I feel like we should only have one planning thread. Its adding to th confusion.

Whatever is a decided we need a two day Money Bomb..... Nov 11th and Nov 12th. BTO proved that without a doubt. 2011 Donating patterns for the RP Grassroots is far different from 2007.

The idea is starting to come together. Liking the direction.

I say it isn't coming together fast enough.

good grief its the 24th now, 7 days before november starts. at this rate we'll only have 1 week to promote the money bomb. if we get a decision in the next 2 days we can all jump on this and get 2 weeks to promote it.

I sent a PM to Dusman requesting he take the lead on this once again. I don't know if he'll accept, but I'm tired of the bickering and I don't like Gage's passive role in all this. We already have a money bomb system that Dusman created that we can put to work immediately. I haven't seen Gage post in any of these threads yet, so I would trust Dusman a lot more with this responsibility, because he's active and will act as a filter on new ideas and will participate in the discussion and planning.

I feel like this could be the biggest bomb of the year, it definitely has the potential because alot of people are sick of the wars. I'm not sure the process of setting up a Moneybomb but I would like to volunteer my services.

There isn't enough promotional time, to be honest. We can't get 2mill again. We won't even get 1

If you guys look at the preparation and fine organization of BTO, you'd see how it was successful.

We already have people doing an end the wars moneybomb, no organization, the donations will be low. Also remember many people are tapped out or need to recuperate before donating AGAIN.

Uhh...then why use this thread? Why not use the original one that had already been started?

because there was no agreement, only sporadic actions.

BTO was organized and that is why it was successful.

I wanted the November 11th money bomb website created before even BTO started, but I was basically denied.

The organizers of BTO have been largely absent. Until someone with the skills steps up and makes the website, it will continue to go nowhere.

Not liking the theme, it should be a support our troops MB to widen the base not shrink it.

Chainspell suggested this:

I am still unsure if he is going to actually take the lead on it.

KEEP THIS THREAD ALIVE

I'm reading a lot of indecisive comments on direction in this thread. Last time I was reading here last week it looked like we were already on track. In my experience, if you don't just simplify and choose a direction you will be doing a lot of conceptual work, especially when you're designing from the direction of several people (AKA the design committee). We need to be promoting now, not designing.

VETSFORPAUL.COM is good to go. The site is fine, the design makes it easy for anyone to create widgets and banners that all remain consistent with the initial design.

I'm going with it. Even if a better site is completed, the owner can redirect the traffic to the dominating site.

Here's my contribution to the campaign (made for Internet/Facebook to be viewed full size, not for professional print):
With Obama

Without Obama

If people want to make their own artwork with their own catch phrases just direct them to VETSFORPAUL.com and they can redirect the traffic to something else if it should prevail.

ATTENTION VETSFORPAUL owner, contact me at revolution [at] RonPaulRonPaul.com if you need any help with the site.
