Black This Out, Want $6,000,000? We Need THE ENTIRE MONTH for Promotion & 25,000 Attendees

Anyone in california? Just saw this article: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lan...alifornia-medical-marijuana-dispensaries.html

"Federal prosecutors in California are threatening to shut down medical marijuana dispensaries throughout the state, sending letters to warn landlords to stop sales of the drug within 45 days or face the possibility that their property will be seized and they will be sent to prison."

It would be great if we could get someone to send some information packs to those places, or ask if they can leave a bunch on Ron Paul/Black This Out flyers at the place for patrons to take!
 
I already did 110-120 yesterday, he hasn't been updating the OP very frequently :P Hopefully we didn't do the same groups.


We did, but maybe we emailed different members. I usually try to send messages to organizers and members who are active in upcoming meetups.

Sorry been kinda hard keeping up been swamped with work lately. I'll take 121-130 if nobody has done those ones yet.


**UPDATE: 1-130 on the list has been done. We need volunteers to do 131-140, 141-150 etc. etc. Thanks!**

We all know that you can only send an email message to 3 meetup groups per day but I found a way around this.

First what you do is go to http://ronpaul.meetup.com/all/ . Then click on a meetup group. Once on their home page click on the "members" then "leadership" tab on top of homepage. A list of all of the meetup groups members will come up. Just click on a member and send them an email informing them of BTO. You can send emails to up to 15 people a day so you may want to send just a couple of emails to each groups organizers/assistant organizers. There are over 80,000 members on there represented by these meetup groups. Here is a sample email written by MJU1983:

Hello,

The Ron Paul grassroots is planning the largest fundraiser of this campaign, perhaps ever, on October 19th. We are calling it the Black THIS Out Money Bomb. We need your help to promote it. If you could send an email to your group or discuss the money bomb at your next meetup, that would be VERY helpful.

Ron Paul Forums Promotional Thread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...-000-Attendees

Goals:
25,000 Attending on Facebook.
$6,000,000+ in Donations!

As I'm sure you know, a well funded campaign is crucial for Ron Paul in his bid for the White House. He is gaining a lot of traction in spite of a near media blackout on television, in print, and on the radio by the "mainstream media".

Take some time to courteously discuss these important FACTS with the media to explain just why Ron Paul is a serious contender:

1. Ron Paul polls consistently in a dead heat with President Obama (Rasmussen, Gallup, CNN).

2. Ron Paul consistently places in the top three in major Republican Primary polls.

3. Ron Paul is number two in fundraising and number one for individual donations.

4. Ron Paul has more military donations than all other GOP candidates combined, as well as President Obama.

5. Ron Paul is a twelve-term Congressman and has spent his entire career defending the Constitution.

6. Ron Paul is the only candidate to accurately predict the housing bubble, economic crises and the devaluation of the dollar.

As we've seen, sometimes even these indisputable facts are still ignored. We can bypass the media blackout by putting ads on TV, in print, online, phone banking, and with direct mail marketing campaigns. All of these cost A LOT of money to put in place.

For Liberty,
ME

Give the Main Stream Media the Middle Finger?

Make a ticker that fills up the middle finger as we donate??

That will keep people committed to donating all day long!!!!!!!!!
 
Anyone know how to make a BTO avatar similiar to Nick Odell?

Would like to have the reference to BlackThisOut.com on my Facebook Profile Picture rather than just the black strip over my face...
 
Any update on when the referral system + leaderboard will be in place?

I've finally gotten the referral ID integrated into MailChimp. I also have a real generic sign up to generate the referral pages. I just need to figure out how to do a count from MailChimp and display them. I'm hoping to have this figured out by tonight or this weekend.
 
Have you guys blasted an email to the BTO list yet?





We're at +270 for the day. Looks to be another strong day.

I think WD-NY is planning on doing a blast today at around 5PM. Hopefully those people will get involved in promotion efforts. I made a few adjustments last night with the website. I added a "What Is This" slide-out tab for more info on the web site and added a "promote the event" button that will lead to a more elegant promotion page that will host the leaderboard stuff.

I'm pretty psyched to get the leaderboard things in place. It could really kick things into high gear.

love the button - suggestions:
  • make it red
  • have the white tab-text say 'What is a "Money Bomb"?'
  • increase font size to .85em & make color: #fafafa. * .slide-out-div {

What do you think about making 'October 19th, 2011' in the main paragraph at the top of the page red?
