12/16 Promotion - Want $6.5 Million? We Need 65,000 Pledges for $100 on TeaParty11.com

[justatrey]

Just invited a few hundred on Facebook, and have been promoting on YouTube.

We're in December now and really need to get moving if we want this to bring in even one or two million, let alone 5 or 6. I have a feeling Ron will really be counting on us for this one if we want to win Iowa and NH.

Let's stop fooling ourselves. Sadly nothing is more important than money for this campaign. That is according to Ron Paul, not me.

There are just so many supporters who will only donate if there is a money bomb. No matter how much we emphasize the need to donate as soon as possible, this is just the reality. Money bombs are fun.

Time to step up!!! Thank you to you guys who have been pushing this all along.

Based on Ron Paul's Letter dated 2 Nov that the campaign had to raise $6.1 million by 16 December 2011 in order to fully fund the Iowa and New Hampshire Campaigns, I estimate that the Tea Party Money Bomb will need to raise in the neighborhood of $3.6 million.

Since 2 November my best estimate, based on the Ron Paul Daily Donation Tracker and the total raised during the Veterans Day Money Bomb 3 day event, is that the Campaign will have raised approximately $2.5 million by midnight 15 December.

We had better raise $3.6 million at least during the Tea Party 11 Money Bomb or the Campaign will not be fully 100% operational for the BIG stretch run.

Everybody on board?

Well I'm trying to do my part by promoting it. I have two promotions going on, one on DIGG and the other on SodaHead. I've asked for help here to DIGG up post on DIGG and Rave up my post on SodaHead, but I'm not getting much support from those on the board to keep my posts ranked high. So if anyone wants to help me, here are my two links:

SodaHead: http://www.sodahead.com/united-stat...-you-support-the-r3volution/question-2316131/

DIGG: http://digg.com/news/politics/tea_party_11_the_revolution_continues_will_you_support_the_r3volution

I'm also promoting the iTunes Bomb for the Ron Paul song on DIGG: http://digg.com/news/politics/ron_paul_itunes_bomb_end_this_war_for_the_revolution

Got one up on you. Here's my craigslist ad posted in the politics section (VERY active in my area, and i've gotten a number of paul supporters to join my meetup group already this week!!)

Just copy and paste and put it into every city/state craigslist you can

We should shoot for 7 million a new record. In 08 we tried for 10 million and got 6. Why cant we get 7 million? Hell 6 million in 08 is really 6.8 million today in devalued fiat.

I sent out an email to all my employees, friends, and family on their personal accounts asking for donations either directly to the campaign now or pledge for the site on 16th.

Could everyone change their messageforum signatures everywhere ?

And could everyone change their profile in all the social networks ?

Are any of you able to invite people to the event? When I invite someone, their picture doesn't go grey/white (meaning the person has been invited)

I thought it only goes grey if they have accepted the invitation by attending the event. I have always routinely invited the same people who aren't attending once a week or so.

I got the Ron Paul 2012 page on board, over 260,000 likes!

I was told to contact you because you own the large Ron Paul 2012 Facebook page. Ron Paul's anniversary Tea Party Money Bomb on Dec 16th is starting to pick up some traction, but we need a boost of new pledges. This is the final money bomb before the Iowa caucus and the campaign is low on advertising money, a very bad thing. We need this last money bomb to be huge so the campaign has the ability to compete financially. If you could put up the following avatar like you did with the Black This Out Money Bomb, everybody visiting the Ron Paul 2012 page would be notified about the money bomb and we could get the word out about it. The banner contains a link to drive traffic to the money bomb website. Please if you can, put this banner up as an avatar on the page. The campaign needs funding soon, or else we're going to be in a lot of trouble. Also, it would be great if you could make some updates about the money bomb every now and then. Thanks a lot! The banner is linked below...

Ok. Will do. I'll go promote the event page right now. Should add at several hundred people by doing that..

He linked the Facebook event...

Thanks a lot! We're actually trying to shoot people over to the website to pledge instead of the Facebook event this time. For Black This Out, I'm the one who came up with the 25,000 attendee Facebook goal. This time we're focusing on pledges on the website. We have a goal of 65,000 pledges. Please consider also using that banner to replace with the current avatar to help drive traffic to the money bomb website so we can obtain pledges. It would be impossible for people to miss that banner if it was the main image for the page. Thanks again!

Awesome! I'll let people know next time. The website is in the event page title, so that should help for now.

People aren't supporting this for the simple fact that it's called the Tea Party Money Bomb....whether that's right or not, nobody wants to be associated with what the tea party has become by being hijacked.

Agreed. I'm definitely in favor of a re-brand that echoes the strength/toughness of BlackThisOut. "No One But Paul" sends a very clear message to Romney, Gingrinch and Huntsman (who won't win, but the establishment is pushing hard to take away votes from Ron in NH) will force each of them to think hard about how to handle/approach Paul since they would need our support in order beat Obama (they won't get it but that doesn't mean they won't give up trying to). This puts Paul in a very commanding position...

Here's a very quickly drafted variation using the header of the email being sent out to pledgers for background:

Basically, the idea would be a "No One But Paul" (or "None But Paul") stamp/brand over the "Tea Party '11 / The Revolution Continues" logo.

I am sorry, but it is way too late in the game to be changing anything.
