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

Btw just an idea but Joe Rogan has over 400,000 followers on Twitter and he has spoken positively about Ron Paul before. Maybe if we can get him on the bandwagon he can help us add a few 1,000 donors right there.

I just sent an email to RedBan who is Rogan's #2 man.

We had nearly hooked up in 2007, but the race was almost over at that point and nothing ever came of it.

Hopefully we can get him on board for the BTO MB.
 
Ugh. I am banned from sending any messages on facebook now. I can't do the meetup groups tonight. I read the past two days pages and I didn't see anyone else doing the meetup groups. I found the most effective way was to go group by group and send out messages to everyone I could that had a facebook account. I got great responses from doing that and a lot of them replied and said they would be happy to spread the word. I was only allowed 3 or 4 emails a day per account, so I had to contact them all via facebook. I hope this helps the next person.

You could probably just create a secondary Facebook account to get around the suspension. I have a completely different account setup for promotion.
 
Is anyone else surprised at the response from "friends" you've invited to BTO? Two of my friends who are super conservative evangelicals--Huckabee supporters in 07 who voted McCain--blacked themselves out today. I didn't know they liked Ron at all... I remember one of them telling me I was nuts for supporting him so passionately in 07. Never would have imagined them being supporters, nevermind actually donating to the campaign. He's catching on, I'm telling ya!
 
You can definitely open a new FB account... I have several that I use for promotion. Limits are reached more quickly on new accounts, but you can make a few.

I imagine this sentiment is growing vastly. You'll notice that the media is progressively getting more pressure to treat him as a serious candidate. Hopefully, BTO will be a turning point. I imagine it will become a huge embarrassment for the media if we do in fact raise $6 million.

Dusman, I think we should come up with a letter directed to the media to stick on the website the day of the money bomb. The media took notice of the theme for November the 5th. Maybe quite a few of them will be visiting BTO.com. I think we should have a letter there written just for them, telling them that their biased reporting is what caused the backlash against the media, which resulted in this money bomb's success. Their own reporting is responsible for it and it will only continue to get worse for them as long as they continue their blackout of Dr. Paul. How exactly they will report this, I'm not sure.

This would be a good idea. Perhaps an open letter.. where supporters on the 19th can go and "sign it".
 
Are you going to delete this too, mods?

Dear Mainstream Media,

The millions of dollars being donated today during the "Black This Out" money bomb, is a direct result of your blatant manipulation of the presidential primary. You have purposely attempted to marginialize the candidacy, criticize the electability, and mislead the public about the only true small government candidate running for the Republican nomination for President, congressman Ron Paul of Texas.

Your manipulative agenda has been made clear, and is now obviously apparant. Simply put, the supporters of the Champion of the Constitution realize you will never provide fair, accurate, and unbiased coverage for our favored candidate.

- When the only true patriot in this race achieves a straw poll victory, you delcare that his success is meaningless and signifies nothing. Even worse, you sometimes fail to report his accomplishment at all. However, when one of your "chosen" candidates wins a strawpoll, your mouths cannot cease from singing his or her praises.

- When we demonstrate how well we are organized, how supportive we are of our candidate, and show up in numbers to an event, you declare that we have "gamed" the event, or cheated somehow. Our dedication to our candidate is declared to be fanatical, in the most negative sense of the word. However, when on occasion the supporters of an establishment supported "big government" candidate manages to show their enthusiasm, they are applauded.

- When online polls are posted, and the defender of the Bill of Rights wins due to the number of his supporters, we are accused of having made the the results invalid. According to you, it is unacceptable for those of us who defend liberty to stay aware of online polls, and sacrifice a moment from our lives to participate. However, you never make the same accusation of other candidates if they manage to win a poll, after you have re-set the vote count several times because you disapproved of the first outcome.

- When our candidate participates in debates, he obtains the least speaking time. Even when the question is directly relevant to him -- such as when a question on health care is asked -- you do not give him an opportunity to speak. Instead, you turn the debates into a snooze fest, in which meaningless banter is bounced back and fourth, instead of discussions about the most important issues facing our nation. If the only peace maker in the group does get asked a question, it is often the least relevant question that could be asked.

- When "Dr. No" raises more money in a quarter than other candidates, obtains donations from a greater number of individuals than multiple other candidates combined, raises more money from members of the military than anyone else running, or raises millions of dollars in a single day, the significance is often downplayed or ignored. However, candidates who have had poor fundraising ability, have campaigns that are actually in debt, or are only receive money from a handful of wealthy fat-cats, are continually cheered.

We have faced the facts. You are trying to control the outcome of this election, and will never cover the only candidate that can beat Obama in a fair, reasonable, and journalistic manner. So we have made a resolution among ourselves. This decision was fueled by your lies, sparked by your hatred of the only freedom supporting candidate in the race, Dr. Ron Paul.

Today's Black This Out money bomb is the metaphorical "first shot" of the "second stage" of the Ron Paul Revolution, triggered by YOU.

From this day forward, we are going to redouble our efforts toward winning the nomination without you. That's right, we don't need you, at all, period!

- We will make the neccesary sacrifices to continually and steadfastly donate, until our candidate has the funds to purchase every MINUTE of undistorted coverage that you have denied him.

- Our candidate will not go without the funds to win this race without having to jump through your hoops, to get a few measly moments of distorted coverage, that is not worth having anyway.

- Despite the personal sacrifice, loss of personal comforts, and financial challenges it may bring to the millions of us who have taken it upon ourselves to Restore America Now, we will make sure that Ron Paul obtains the most funding of any candidate this quarter. Third place is no longer good enough. We will no longer be complacent.

So watch the results of the Black This Out money bomb, and witness the millions of dollars the Ron Paul campaign will reap, from the seeds of arrogance and dishonesty you have strewing about. The seeds you planted have grown into a bumper crop of additional, determined, and continual support for the candidate you despise the most.

Thanks for your help, and now get out of here.

Sincerely,
The Ron Paul Revolution

PS: With the kind of money we are going to raise today, your establishment approved "big government" candidates will need all the help, free media attention, and support you can provide them.
 
Can someone please change the Facebook page to make it clear that this is an online-only event?

There are heaps of comments with things like "sorry can't attend", "I'm working that day" etc...

Why has a RonPaulSwag.com ad been added to BlackThisout? It's a site that has no blackthisout advertising and buying there shirts won't count to the moneybomb unlike buying from the offical ronpaul2012.com website.

They are donating all the prizes for the competition.

Yes, nice! :D Use a nice graphic of a piece of paper in the background to drive home the point that it's a "notice" or "letter" to the media.
