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

Dusman, you have done a tremoundous job on the BlackTHISOut.com web site. Thank you for stepping up and taking intiative.
 
Dusman, how about getting a press release written up announcing the planned money bomb and sending it out to the media?
 
Thanks guys. However, I can only take partial credit here. Without all the awesome effort from everyone here, my side of the coin would be meaningless.

I've been working on one actually. I'd like to release one on Monday and then again on the 17th. The question is, should we have one for the day of?
 
Why was the Facebook Event link taken away from the top right corner of bto.com? This is a good way to drive traffic over to FB, where we need the numbers as well.
 
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.

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

I just did 141-150

I'll take 151-160 today.

Are you actually getting emailed back Amber? I have gotten 1 response from 30-ish groups I have messaged. I had hoped for a better response then this. Not going to give up though :) Maybe they are just waiting till closer until the event.
 
Just physically handed out 500 of the BlackThisOut business cards at a Ron Paul event in Greenville, NC. Also put them on tables and at the end of the food line, as well as on the vehicles in the parking lot. Gave GunnyFreedom a big stack too :)

I noticed people were taking the cards off of the tables on their way out.

I have not got any response, o well I have been noticing that a lot more groups are having blackthisout listed as an upcoming meetup so I haven't had to waste messages on some groups.

I have received 3 responses back so far out of about maybe 40 groups. Hopefully they are getting the word out. A few of the members have facebook so I have been messaging them there also.

Oh well. It can't hurt just to get the word out.
