PS - This is the OFFICIAL THREAD

Bump.

 

[V3n]

I <3 this!

Just to clarify, this the moneybomb that the official campaign emails will be supporting in February?

**Edited to add that yes, we have verification this is an official Ron Paul campaign moneybomb now.**

I should add that grassroots work for this moneybomb has been ongoing and it was originally planned for Feb 17th, then we pushed it to March but if this is what the campaign is promoting this month then we'll make the date February 14th and get back to work.

A grassroots pledge site for this moneybomb will be up in the next few days. We'll post a thread when it goes live.

bump. It's official. Thank god the campaign went with this theme.

Matt, from other threads I understand this Official Money Bomb is going to be from February 14th thru February 17th.

Please have the Pledge Site up as soon as possible, we really need to advertise this and sell it far and wide.

The South Carolina Money Bomb now approaching $2 Million over 7 days simply did not have enough lead time to really spread the word.

Hope you push this early and heavy!!!

Pledge site work was started several days ago and here is the facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/events/134551653331059/ I think there is a good chance the pledge site will go live at the beginning of next week.

WHOA!

Ok, so this is the official "Bailout for Freedom" Money Bomb thread that will be happening... February...?

So the campaign officially went with this theme?

I thought that bailouts were for bankrupted companies needing to be resurrected with our tax dollars, bonuses included?

Freedom is hemorrhaging. Freedom, is, perhaps, the one idea, institution, whatever you want to call it, that deserves a bailout at our point in time. So, we could easily sell that.

So what is up with the "No One But Paul" Moneybomb?

So what is up with the "No One But Paul" Moneybomb?

It's complicated (isn't the birth of anything on RPF) so here is the brief rundown:

~2 weeks ago some RPF members really started pushing for a grassroots moneybomb and we began throwing themes around.
~a little over a week ago Bailout for Freedom was the most popular option so we brainstormed a date and I sent the campaign a simple message just stating that we were planning a moneybomb on the 17th of February and didn't want a conflict (no mention of the theme).
~less than a week ago another poll comparing the themes was posted on RPF and after leading for a day Bailout for Freedom began to lose to NOBP and as we played with ways of making the NOBP theme softer for new supporters it really surged in popularity. We debated over doing NOBP in March and Bailout in February, NOBP folks wanted to run it in February.
~Folks began shifting over to NOBP for February 17th in light of the popular vote and decided to push Bailout to March.
~2 days ago Collins came on and informed us that the campaign was going for "Bailout Freedom" and wanted it on the 14th of February. We also received confirmation that this would be the "official" moneybomb being promoted by the campaign in Feb. Those of us who had set our work on Bailout for Freedom aside picked it back up and added the BailoutFreedom.com domain so we would have a name consistent with the campaign promotion.
~NOBP is still figuring out exactly what they are going to do moving forward but simultaneously running their own moneybomb on the 14th looks like the current consensus although some think it would be more efficient if their effort went into doing NOBP for March as it doesn't have a moneybomb yet.


As to the theme we were thinking of several angles. The most prominent are: Liberty back in the chains she had broken out of and imprisoned by things like the Patriot Act, NDAA, etc. and Ron Paul going to bail her out of jail. Freedom as a "venture" vital to our nation and it being "too big to fail" so we have to help elect Ron Paul so he can bail freedom out.

This is great. Running the Bailout Money Bomb is such a better idea at this point. NOBP can wait down the road when Gingrich and/or Santorum are hopefully out.

So, where's the promotion for this and why did this thread die so fast? We have to get on this a.s.a.p. we can't afford to drop the ball on this one.
