April 19th 2008 - biggest moneybomb EVER before or since!

[Bryan]

hmm... how bout April 15th? for tax day? hmm???

And just a thought, but I think we should also wait to see how he does in New Hampshire and Iowa...

That's where my bet is- I picked this up just after 11/5:

It is looking out a bit but I'd say most could relate to an IRS protest than anything else. But that's just me.

I can't believe that people think 'tax day' is a more important day for us in the "Ron Paul Revolution" than is the actual first day of the American Revolution. Doesn't history mean anything to us anymore?

It was because of April 19th 1775, that we even HAD a July 4th 1775.

I'll bet even more Americans have heard of the American Revolutionary War, than have heard of the Boston Tea Party. Clearly, Ron Paul wants to repeal the 16th amendment, but why would tax day be more relevant to the Ron Paul Revolution, than the actual first day of the actual American Revolution?

I mean, am I just stupid? Am I that far out of step with the American public -- even those of the Ron Paul Revolution -- where I somehow do not understand that the American Revolution has become irrelevant to us? Is the American Revolution just something that We the People want to forget?

I really don't get it.

Yes you don't get it. The first goal is to raise money at strategic points of time to help Paul win. Getting money waaaaaaay after its needed is stupid and pointless.

This will almost be over by the date you're talking about unless Paul doesn't get the nomination. Then we will have even more of this to go through to try to win a third party run.

History is nice and all, but its only associated with the fundraising drives to make a point with the fundraising and to excite people so that they will donate. Its not like since July 4th is very important in American history we're going to plan a moneybomb on July 4th. It would be pointless since July 4th is like 6 months away and everything will be over by then. Get it now?

Amen!

Instead of dreaming up the next moneybomb we should be connecting with the masses that don't use the internet.

I was under the impression that when we won in the primaries, we would need more funding for the general election; and if we can give money FOR the general prior to the end of the primaries, then that resets our $2300 dollar limit.

Of course, we can always TRY to run the general election without money....

Worry about THAT later... we need to WIN the gosh durned primaries first.

Efforts for something in mid April will be wasted at this point in time, and divert people from the task at hand.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Well, it surely wasn't my plan to start making a huge effort about, it until AFTER Feb 5th, at which point we will basically know who wins the primaries... This is more like a "Hey, do you guys like the idea of hosting a MB on the day of the opening salvo of the American Revolution?"

 

[dvictr]

i like the idea... as long as thats part of the first quarter...

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Well, 1st qtr ends March 31st. Is the first day of the 2nd qtr when the McCain-Feingold $2,300 clock resets? I'll admit that I'm not that familiar with FEC regs. I had assumed that the clock reset when the candidate was nominated, but I could well be wrong. The important thing here, is to set a big fundraiser just *before* the McCain Fiengold clock resets, so that Ron Paul has a fat bank account going INTO the Generals when those maxed out can start giving again.

No. Moneybombs won't be worth the time, effort, or $ after the first few primaries.

Teaparty and Dec 31st are it. Then GO OUT AND CAMPAIGN!

Do both!
