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

How about this:

Make your pictures grayscale or black and white. Over your image, put "POW", but make it transluscent. That would be epic.

Tecnically, we are ALL POWs from the governments rampant expansion. What do you think?

I think it should come off as more supportive of the troops than antiwar, as that will bring a greater consensus within the Rep party, but that's just me

I agree with you, but I'm not sure how we can have that come across through little picture-additions as we did in BTO without ribbons. I'll keep thinking tho. Maybe medals of honor or something?

I like the idea of yellow ribbons. People will see hundreds of Paul supporters with yellow ribbons in their pictures and it will make Paul look good. We could put a yellow ribbon along with "11.11.11" in our pictures so people are reminded of the date of the moneybomb

I liked that idea but some others in the thread were expressing dissatisfaction with that due to it being played out. We have to come to consensus soon tho, we need to start promoting this. I am going to make a FB page tonight when I get home (within the hour). But I need a profile picture. For now, I am thinking of just taking a picture of a soldier hugging his children and putting "Bring Them Home" in big letters over it (with the moneybomb date) as the Profile Pic until we get something better.

BTH IS GENIUS!!! We could get a lot of donations from military families. I think we need some sort of cultural thing like the black out bars for BTO to symbolize how those fighting the wars have been forgotten about and the fact that ending the wars has been removed from the political discussion.

consensus is for communists

I question the wisdom of having so many money bombs so close to each other. Is it better or worse than having fewer, larger moneybombs?

Nov. 11 and Dec. 16 are pretty far apart, I think we'll need to get Ron money between now and December 16th as he just announced another $2 million ad buy and we don't want him to run low on cash until halfway through December. It might even be too late by then for New Hampshire

You're right. I must have missed the memo about December 16... or maybe it should have been obvious that was going to happen anyway

justin page wood. get on designing the aesthetic for this moneybomb. haha we all know its your responsibility but really he was a huge reason for the success of BTO. the design and graphic nature of it was professional and caught on. we can do it again.

 

[Xenophage]

Okay, I love this theme by the way. We can use it to start conversations about foreign policy and why Ron is *right.* Maybe we can change some hearts and minds.

 

[LatinsforPaul]

I love the "Bring Them ALL Home" concept...

 

[KramerDSP]

One way of hooking an audience in during the moneybomb videos for BTH would be to clearly point out that every child 10 or younger has never experienced life without war.

 

[davidt!]

Good name and I like the yellow ribbon idea. You may want to see if you can get Dusman, Justipagewood and Sentinelv on board as they are great assets to have.

 

[parocks]

I love this...an actual rally to support the troops, nationwide sign waves, and a moneybomb...let's make this happen!

There definitely should be some on the ground action to accompany every money bomb. The on the ground action should be promoted along with the moneybomb, and should not come in later.

I have a picture of me as a boy when my Dad came home from Korea jumping into his arms. And another I think of my Mom , my sisters and I when he came home from Germany. I remember crying for days when he would leave for weeks or months at a time. It makes me feel real pain to think of the poor kids and spouses who have to put up with these wars.

If you guys have any pictures like that I suggest you find them and post them for your profiles and just in general. Sort of like the BTO pics we used.

I think if you have a pic like that it will be much more powerful than anything you can say to the neo-cons.

Took the Federal Reserve money-drop pic and edited it for our benefit:
