Black This Out, Want $6,000,000? We Need THE ENTIRE MONTH for Promotion & 25,000 Attendees
- Thread starter Sentinelrv
- Start date
Thats what I said when they started talking about Veterans Day... Not against our troops as the Neo-cons would say, but we need something that makes people want to jump up and fight back! To donate! People like to be rallied...
Edit: Stop killing our Troops day?
Something along those lines. IE Bring Our Troops HOME! would be a better theme, and since it is on Veterans day even BETTER!

I would advise against advertising for the next moneybomb on the BTO page. You don't want to undermine BTO, the hype is building up, probably best to keep the energy on this one for now especially on the facebook page with almost 15,000 people! 
What domain name?
I can guarantee you that i have put so much of my time on this (my girlfriend is killin me) that i won´t let the allmost 15.000 facebook pledges to be wasted.
I hope we get everything sorted out soon for the next one...
i wouldn´t like this to go to EGO FIGHT once again, we really have to see the top priority and that´s to build momentum to get Ron Paul elected and that means "waste no resources we have gained before"!

I would rather not say on the forum as some domain squatter could pick it up.
True.. What do yall think of the Bring Our Troops HOME! Theme? It could create very powerful videos and very powerful feelings. Or are you leaning towards 11.11.11?
No reason you couldn't do both if you wanted. You could do a theme of bringing the troops home or ending the wars and use 11.11.11.
Maybe advertisement could be good but all im saying is it may be best to keep most of the focus on BTO for now because it seems to be picking up, regardless the work is well appreciated! The movement here is doing awesome. If everyone on the facebook page starts inviting their friends this could keep on picking up even more! One week to go. :]

I see where you are going with that. I pose we continue along those lines and begin a discussion on planning for just that. I'd like to hear some further opinions on this.
I hope everyone understands what´s the plan is to build the momentum...
FIRST. BTO MB
THEN BIGGER VETS DAY MB
THEN EVEN BIGGER TEA PARTY!
In order to do this we must USE the resources gained from the last one not lose them!
let´s say we get +25.000 facebook pledges to this one, WHY WOULD WE NOT WANT THEM TO PLEDGE ON THE NEXT ONE ? please answer!
We would have pretty nice kickstart for the next moneybomb and lot of time to promote it too. We could get 50.000 pledges for the next one!
If you know better way to contact the people who have pledged on bto fb page than posting the events fb wall, please tell!
I really get the feeling that people who have not been all over for this from the beginning don´t understand how much work we have done for this and it would be so stupid to start from allmost zero again!

I totally disagree about promoting any other moneybomb on the BTO page. I have already seen people say on many threads that they are trying to decide how to split up their donation dollars for all the moneybombs people have discussed for the rest of the year. That is what we DON'T want to have happen. We need everyone to donate everything they can, every single dollar for the whole year to this one event. We NEED media recognition. If we get 6 million or more, we will get that. If we get 2 million here, 2 million there they won't cover it.
Additionally, I was here last time around too. I think you are forgetting qwerty that when we came up with the idea for the first moneybomb, no one had any idea there would be another. We all gave all we had to the Nov. 5th mb. Yes, it was exciting. And yes, we all gave until it hurt. But, we didn't split our money with the one on Dec. 15th because it didn't exist yet. We didn't have people running around with several dates on their signature telling people to donate 5 times this year. We can't afford to dilute this at all.
Sentinel has done a spectacular job of getting people to work their butts off for this moneybomb. Please, let's all stay focused on this. If we don't do something incredible there might not be a next time. You never know. But, if we get 6 million or more, Ron will have a huge push. Let's change the course of history!

One other thing....the campaign doesn't want us to make the later moneybombs bigger and bigger. They need the money NOW. Frankly, our money was not that useful to them on Dec. 15th. They needed the money earlier for January ads. Remember? They even undermined our MB and tried to get another one in earlier. It really destroyed our momentum, because I swear we were on track for a 20 million dollar day. Instead, Trevor took our list and told people to donate on Nov. 30th or something like that. Then the campaign did the same and told people the date for the mb had changed and to donate earlier. They raised some... I don't remember how much. Point is, money sooner is much more valuable than money later.
I don't know about you, but if I can afford to max out on this mb, then I better max out on one day. If I only have 500 to give to Ron this year, I better give it on Oct. 19th. All of it. And not try to split it up. I know I have finite resources. I suspect others do also.
Bottom line: I am giving all I can for the year on Oct. 19th. I am going to charge all I was going to give for the whole year to my credit card. I will pay it off for the rest of the year. I won't have one more penny to give to another moneybomb. This is it. My whole wad is being blown right here. I hope everyone does the same. If so, we will have one hell of a day!!!!

First... I have worked allmost every day 3-14 (allmost a month in oct 19th) hours for this one and i won´t let the work go away! i can tell you that!
second....like i said dec 16th got big cause of the momentum gained from nov 5th! AND WE GOT MUCH BIGGER E-MAIL LIST FROM NOV 5th! So if we now throw away the fb pledges it would be same as we would have thrown half of the e-mails away back then! now we have ONLY 5.000 e-mail pledges and soon 25.000 FB pledges!
HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE SHOULDN`T WASTE OUR RESOURCES GAINED!

I agree fully with this. Plus, I think people are missing the fact that after a $6,000,000 day, ALL Ron Paul supporters will be charged up because of our accomplishment. They'll be much more energized and receptive for 11/11/11. What we had to do with BTO is comparable to recharging a dead battery. We were all burnt out. With a huge success on the 19th, 11/11/11 will take off much faster than BTO did. The battery is already charged up because of our efforts with BTO.
