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

Are there any New Yorkers on this thread that are going to the Black THIS Out event? Anyone from NY that is taking any kind of a leadership role? Someone from NY with the ability to pick signs up at the printer and take them to the event? Someone that will be there on Wednesday and can get something Fed Exed to them and will bring it to the event on Wednesday?
 
Its Saturday and many people are off of work today.

Will you make some phone calls, contact some friends and family and tell them about this important day? How many people do you know that would pledge and donate $5.00 if you just asked them too?

Don't leave it up to everyone else, Join in and be the difference!
 
How about we leave our pictures with the black bars until they stop blacking out Ron Paul....yeah...could be a while...
We'll tell people how it represents how biased the media is and we can tell people how much money we raised for Ron Paul on the 19th. I think a lot of people are still blind to how mainstream media is so bad. Perhaps the black this out site could convert to a collection of blackouts for Ron Paul and then another page showing how they fail to properly report on all types of things. Dedicated to showing how they no longer perform the function of a news outlet, but just aim to sway public opinion for their own personal agendas and intentionally don't report on things that the public should know. Turning down good investigative journalism even when it's about something that would hurt their advertisers. It's not just Ron Paul getting the short end of the stick, all decent Americans are getting jacked by having no real news stations on TV and by constantly being fed poor info.
 
I think if we take advantage of the potential for this to go viral and separate it from Ron Paul a bit we can use it as a way to wake people up a bit. And I think in waking up they will go to sources of info that are less biased against Ron Paul and be more likely to see his message and come around to his side. And then even if they don't like Ron Paul himself they will be less resistant to some of his ideas and could support similar candidates that they otherwise wouldn't have. Like a future run by Rand Paul or someone else in the same field unlike most of the junk politicians who get all the time on mainstream media.

Sort of like Andre the Giant Has a Posse?
It would be really cool to see a wave of Black This Out style street art become a phenomenon.
 
Just got home. I have a few hours of free time to promote and get the word out on Facebook. We have to really double our efforts if we want to reach our goal of 25,000 attendees. Perhaps we should find new ways to motivate the complacent Ron Paul supporters because we're asking the impossible! 4 days left!

 
Money Bombs should be planned to start on the 15th and the 1st of the month. If the 15th or the 1st falls on a weekend, the MB should be on the following Monday, or that weekend.

WEEKENDS are good for MB, especially Sundays.

We "average Joe's" get paid, (for the most part), on the 15th and the 1st.
 
There are a bunch of forums for marijuana users that we could target with a BTO message. Many of these have huge viewership and could provide a quick surge if proposed correctly. Thoughts?

Please help us support Ron Paul.

We are sick of the drug war and the lives that it ruins. As Obama continues to raid medical MJ facilities it is obvious he doesn't respect neither medicinal use or personal choice of individuals. Ron Paul an outspoken critic of the drug war with the record to back it up is the only politician trustworthy to do what he says. We are hoping that people from the MJ community will join us to help promote a massive fundraiser of Ron Paul on October 19th. Over 20,000 people are already participating in an attempt to fight the blatant media blackout and bias. Will you help us?

I think promoting the money bomb in the following places could also generate some interest.

1. Whenever there is a political yahoo news story.
a. Comment in the 'comment' section about it with a catch phrase.. ala "Stop the media manipulation to promote the status quo special interest candidates. Learn more and BLACK THIS OUT... link"

2. Various Forums.. ala. bodybuilding.com

3. I've been leaving BTO cards in all the various stores I"ve frequented over the past couple weeks. In the restroom, on the table. When I take money out of an ATM, I leave them there.. at gas station pumps.

just throwing out ideas.

I think that i know why facebook pledges has been slowing down... Cause some people are acting here like dictators telling people what to do and what should not be done! That´s discourages people, cause that´s not the way Ron Paul movement works, that´s the way socialism works! You can tell your opinion about the things but NEVER insult people who are giving their best for this cause!

If you don´t undertand what i mean, see what Ron Paul says,



"There's two ways to define winning. To win liberty, a lot of people need to be more involved. It isn't a numbers problem. We don't need 51%, and the majority will rule, we don't say a majority is all we need. Rather, we need a determined minority; they must be thought leaders, they have to be involved, they have to lead others, and they have to be in positions of teaching, in the media and in different places. We have lost that fight because Keynesianism and Interventionism and our foreign policy have been the prevailing attitude. So whatever you can do to change the prevailing attitude as a leader. You are a unique group, absolutely unique, because most people either don't pay attention or they pay attention at the last minute before an election. So your responsibility is much different. The burden is on individuals like you because once you've discovered what's going on, and are confident about it, you have a greater moral obligation. You are not capable of just dismissing it, you can't dismiss yourself from the importance of this. If you understand it, you have this obligation to spread this message."

"People ask, 'What should I do?'"

"Do whatever you want. Do what you think is important. Everybody is an individual.

The most important thing is the responsibility of yourself and to study and read, and understand it, and how to explain it and convert people. Then, make a decision. Being a participant in Campaign for Liberty is pretty important, and keeping that going, and getting more groups, and more organizations..."

"Our efforts, should, in order to win, what we have to do is continue campaigning for liberty and get more people to agree with us."

What it takes to win - Dr. Paul

I see that few individuals have hard times on accepting Ron Paul´s message fully....i accept it cause i´m for freedom!

PS. now i start to undertand why we have so less support on this forums...

My point is let people do what they want, voice your opinion but never attack them for what they have done...

Interesting theory, although this seems more plausible. :p

Yes, keep pushing BTO, but don't fret a drop/plateau in numbers over the weekend.

Internet traffic generally goes down quite a bit on weekends for all sites.
