Maybe so, but there are some members here who are really, really tired of the money bombs. I recall a time not long ago when some posters were really irate about being told when to donate and when not to. That's why it makes sense simply to say, "pick whatever plan (or non-plan) you like and just do it."
I'd say to all this. Great to see the official campaign set a finacial goal. The other guys are running out of money. A big boost a few days before super tuesday will go a long way with free national advertising, and money on hand for the campaign.
Here in Colorado, I heard an Obama ad for the first time today. They played it five times during my drive into and out of work. We need a Paul ad to compete and money talks. So, Bombs away people.
To the guy who way angry they want more money. Give them all your nearly worthless paper for freedom today. So, you won't have to give blood tomorrow.
I also think the bomb should be for the first and second. Many people will get paid friday, go home, then flood the web site. this could cause a problem like the last half hour of teaparty07, Only hours long, instead of 20 or so min.
Just a few thoughts.

those who can donate, donate, those who can't get the word out to someone who can and stop saying we can't
The FEC reports for the fourth quarter are going to go public at the end of January. It would be great to report "Ron Paul led all Republicans with $19.8 million raised in the fourth quarter, and his supporters have pitched in another $5 million already in January...."
Make it a BIG donation people -- Uncle Sam is sending you a $300 stimulus check (or more) that you hadn't planned on receiving.

QFT. don't wait.
Some of the early carriers of the torch are maxed out. It is going to take very strong resolve and committment by some of the newer supporters to make this happen.
Don't assume it will be as easy to raise the kinds of $ that were raised on Nov 5th and
Dec 16th.
We need very strong showings from some of the newer Paulites!!!

That is what I have been saying, everybody donates now, get as much as possible before Feb. 1, then have a real big one on the 1rst--like the donate $51 for 51 years of marriage anniversary.
HQ! Grassroots needs to get a message from RP to this forum and some tv or youtube acknowledgement. The standard, "We don't even ask them to do these moneybombs," is played out. How about some better encouragement and communication on this one? We need some revitalization and hearing directly from Ron Paul would provide that and bring in more excitement that will push us to reach the goal. Am I crazy?

February 5th is only 10 days away. $5 million more by then is $500,000 PER DAY. The only way we're going to average that is to have at least one money bomb, and there's not much time to get it going.
Everyone who doesn't like money bombs, just send in your money now. Money bombs work -- why mess with success?
The best non-money bomb (or non-money bomb "echo") day was October 22nd, which brought in only $160K.
Here are the 10 best fundraising days of the campaign:
2007-12-16 $6,043,022.96 Tea Party 07 money bomb
2007-11-05 $3,994,713.65 This November 5th money bomb
2008-01-21 $1,850,160.95 Free at Last money bomb
2007-11-30 $531,438.82 Rudy's Reading list money bomb
2007-11-06 $389,344.46 Nov. 5th money bomb echo
2007-12-31 $387,954.10 New Year's Eve money bomb
2007-12-17 $309,815.51 Tea Party money bomb echo
2007-11-20 $250,346.85 impromptu out-do Huckabee money bomb effort
2007-11-11 $233,526.57 Veteran's Day money bomb
2007-10-22 $164,290.93 regular donation day

I AGREE. RON NEEDS TO MAKE a Youtube plea! He really needs to.
Can someone get this to the HQ about this. It is really needed. Email pleas JUST DO NOT CUT IT!
People are moved most by his speach, his endearment, his honesty..
He needs to be a youtube plea and talk about the MSM blackout becaue they don't want the message spreading...
RON, DO IT!

This is what needs to be done: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=101030
Realistically, it's not going to happen in the alloted time, but feel free to prove me wrong! Personally, spreading the word about donating on Feb 1st makes the most sense. The time for discussing these things has functionally expired. The goal of an additional $5M should be possible from Feb 1st to Feb 4th with a concerted effort. If the money bomb on Feb 1st doesn't reach the $8M mark for the quarter, a few more days will give some breathing room. If people have additional funds to donate BEFORE Feb 1st, please do so.

Right ...Like you, I think we'll make the additional $5M if we stop squabbling over nonsense and get the word out NOW about Feb 1st and the campaign's need for that money before Feb 5th!
