Dear _______________,

I believe this is the most important week yet for the Ron Paul 2012 campaign.

And, later this week, you can help Dr. Paul fully capitalize on the incredible momentum we're experiencing.

Keep reading for a key step you can take to make sure our campaign can reach millions of voters with Ron Paul's message of freedom.

Just moments ago, Congressman Paul unveiled his "Plan to Restore America" and left no doubt that he is the only candidate in this race serious about reining in an out-of-control government and restoring America's prosperity.

Michael, a new standard has just been set for the budget debate in this country, and conservative commentators are already praising Ron Paul's bold leadership.

Dr. Paul's Restore America budget cuts $1 TRILLION in his first year as President and delivers a FULLY balanced budget by year three.

It eliminates five wasteful cabinet departments, abolishes multiple tax burdens on the American people, repeals unconstitutional and devastating legislation, and strengthens America's national security while ending the globalists' manipulation of our servicemen and women.

If you haven't yet read this plan, I hope you'll click on the link I'll provide for you in just a moment.

You and I both know this is nothing new from Ron Paul.



He's been leading the fight to return to constitutional government and end the politicians' careless spending his entire life in public service.

Time after time, he's proposed common-sense solutions to the challenges facing our nation, grounding his approach in fundamental concepts like honesty, sound money, and living within our means.

And he's been proven right again and again.

It's time for a President who isn't afraid to be honest with the American people about the dilemma our country faces.

Big Government policies based on a lust for power and a total disregard for the future have bankrupted our nation and left us perilously close to total collapse.

We can't afford another four years of the status quo, and we certainly can't afford to place our trust in yet another politician who lets bureaucrats, corporate fat cats, and other well-connected insiders decide his agenda.

Ron Paul's "Plan to Restore America" makes it clear he won't be controlled by inside-the-Beltway talking heads or pressure from special interests.

His plan takes an ax to the root of our problem and sets this nation back on course.

But his announcement today is not the only reason this week is so critical for our campaign.

Dr. Paul will never stop fighting for the taxpayers' best interests, but news of his budget plan - and all of his other unmatched positions - will not get out to millions of Americans unless our campaign has your help.

It seems establishment gatekeepers are doing everything in their power to keep Ron Paul's freedom message from getting to the voters.

And it's no secret why.

His administration would end their free ride, put the American people back in charge, and restore America's leadership in the world.

Earlier today, The Atlantic's "Wire" highlighted a new study showing that Ron Paul "has received the least overall coverage of any candidate."

This comes despite his consistent ranking in the top tier, his broad base of support nationwide, and his having more donations from active duty military than his opponents combined.

If you get as upset, frustrated, and downright angry at the cold shoulder Dr. Paul receives in the press as I do, I hope you'll take part in our "Black THIS Out" Money Bomb on this Wednesday, October 19.

Thousands of other grassroots Patriots have already pledged their support.

If you haven't yet joined them, please consider making your most generous pledge today.



Your donation on October 19 will help show the pundits that not only have their efforts to control this election's outcome failed miserably, but their manipulation has totally backfired.

We'll send a message that the American people will make their own decision on who they think is best suited to lead this nation.

Once the voters have all the facts, I'm confident they'll join you and me in choosing Ron Paul.

Our campaign is already implementing a comprehensive plan to reach millions of voters with hard-hitting television, internet, and radio ads promoting Dr. Paul, as well as sending out direct mail, making phone calls, and engaging in one-on-one contact.

But none of this - and I can't stress that enough - is possible without your continued support.

Dr. Paul has never been afraid to stand up for every American against the full weight of the establishment machine, even if that meant standing alone.

Please, let him know you stand with him on Wednesday, October 19, by contributing as generously as you can to the Black THIS Out Money Bomb.

You can pledge here today.

And, if you haven't yet read Dr. Paul's "Plan to Restore America," you can do so here.

Be sure to share it with your family and friends and ask them to help us spread the word about it - and the rest of Ron Paul's untouchable record - by participating in the Black THIS Out Money Bomb.

I hope Dr. Paul will see your name proudly displayed on our website, along with thousands of other Americans, this Wednesday, October 19, during our Black THIS Out Money Bomb.



For Liberty,

P.S. Ron Paul is once again leading the way with his "Plan to Restore America" that cuts spending by $1 TRILLION in his first year as President and delivers a FULLY balanced budget by year three.

It's clear no other candidate is as serious about reining in our out-of-control government and restoring America's prosperity.

But the establishment gatekeepers are going to try their best to make sure this plan doesn't reach the voters.

Will you help us go around the media blackout and straight to the American people by pledging today to contribute as generously as you can to our "Black THIS Out" Money Bomb on October 19?

I know Dr. Paul is counting on your support.

 
It looks like we hit our goal...

Ron Paul's Official BTO Pledge page $453,000 Divided by $60 (avg Donation) = 7550 People
FaceBook Event = 17,610 people
BTO Grassroots website = 6,590
Maybe attending = 4,198

TOTAL = 35,948 People Donating x $120 (because people will donate more to this one)

= $4,313,760 AT LEAST!!!!


I like your math ;)
 
This one is almost impossible to judge. Have we ever had a moneybomb get such market penetration?

Let's consider potential reach:

100,000 - Ron Paul List (minimum)
200,000 - 20,000 Shares X 10 exposures per share (low est.) on ShareThis Widget
265,000 - Facebook Invites
547,000 - Ron Paul Facebook Page
xxx,xxx - Youtube Comments
xxx,xxx - Strongly marketed on Ron Paul Forums, Daily Paul, Ron Paul Flix, RonPaul.com
xxx,xxx - Free Talk Live 2 weeks of advertising

I'd say we likely reached well over 1,000,000 people, with a moderate demographic in Pro-Paul people. With how the campaign responded with this one, it makes me think they know something we don't (frequency/volume of inquiry above average). How can we really determine anything with such unknowns? I think we will be surprised, nonetheless.

It seems like to me, that pledges have always been a little soft to quantify. In such circumstances, I would fall back a lot more on market penetration numbers. Would it be safe to say we've generated more exposures than the Dec. 16th moneybomb? If so, this one is up in the air, entirely.

Just a thought.
 
I want to take a moment a Thank all of You on this Thread that have worked your tails off to make BLACK THIS OUT the success that I know it will be in just 26 hours!!!!

To remind everyone, having been involved in the 2007 Money Bombs, the first hour of donations is CRITICAL to build the big MO!!! for the next 23 hours!!!

I challenge everyone and especially those on the WEST COAST, Alaska and Hawaii to donate in the first hour tomorrow evening....

Again my heartfelt thank you for all of your for your hard work. This RP Grassroots Soldier sure appreciates your efforts.....
 
Hey Dusman, I have a question.

When does the 7-day blitz challenge officially end? 12PM EST the 18th or does it continue into the 19th? I think we should cut it off on the 18th 'cause we want people to stop focusing on pledging on the 19th but actually donating.

We'll announce the winners at 12:00AM EST on the 19th. I'll make a note of this on the web site, before I leave in the morning.

Okay, so you can still earn more points on the 19th or no?

edit: i'm just wondering because I'm juggling homework around promoting this :) curious as to whether my whole wednesday afternoon will be consumed with getting pledges hahahaha

May want to take some measures on the website as well to automatically forward people to the official donate page so they don't get confused and pledge on blackthisout.com and fail to donate. Turn off the pledge for the day even and just focus on getting actual donations. Make a link to the official donation page the center of attention, but still keep up promotion info to help people spread the word on the day of.

We need to have a major push for the actual day of, getting people to donate.

I agree. I think the pledges should be de-activated or something on the 19th and replaced with a BIG donate link to the official campaign. We need to focus on getting donations on the 19th.
 
There need to be a uniform set of rules. Here's a very simple one.

Follow your time zones, and donate between midnight and 1 AM during YOUR time zone.

Yes. I know several Ron Paul fans who will vote for him but just never give to political campaigns. I full intend to lobby them hard tomorrow to donate just $5 per person to the moneybomb. Boost his $ a little but also importantly boost his total donor counts.
 
Trevor hyped the money bomb!

Run Ron Paul Money Bomb
Is Ron Paul Set To Break His Own Fundraising Record?

On November 5th of 2007 the first Ron Paul moneybomb was born. More than eighteen thousand people had pledged to donate $100 each to Ron Paul's campaign and on the actual day of the moneybomb over thirty-five thousand individual donors raised a total of $4.3 million dollars. Just six weeks later Ron Paul's supporters struck again on December 16th (the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party), with approximately thirty-five thousand pledges on the books and over sixty thousand actual donors, raising over $6.1 million dollars in one day. Since then no one has been able to beat Ron Paul's one day fundraising record.

Now there is another Ron Paul supporter created moneybomb set to detonate this coming Wednesday, October 19th, and based on the number of pledges for it (up to twenty nine thousand total pledges), it just may have the potential to break Ron Paul's previous fundraising record.

If he does break his previous fundraising records most Ron Paul supporters wonder if the main stream media will give the accomplishment the attention it deserves.

The "Black This Out" theme of the money bomb claims there is a mainstream media outlet blackout surrounding the Ron Paul campaign. Today, ironically, news reports are confirming that in fact Ron Paul is indeed ignored to a very large degree by the mainstream media (source: Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism). The good news (and a testament to the power of his ideas) is that Ron Paul is polling in the double digits (around 14%) despite the fact that he has been the primary news maker in only 2% of all election stories.

For more proof that a media blackout exists just look at how main stream media coverage of straw polls changes based on who wins them.

The "Black This Out" money bomb hopes to draw attention to the media bias against Ron Paul by forcing the media to give Ron Paul and the "Black This Out" moneybomb theme coverage by raising a massive amount of money for the Ron Paul campaign in a single day.

While there is no way to know exactly how much Ron Paul will raise on that day it's always fun to make a prediction!

How much do you think the Ron Paul campaign will raise on October 19th?

It was more like a good piece of journalism/blogging.... i dont think he can officially promote it because he's been paid by the campaign in the past.

Yes good point. Excellent work by him all the same. I can tell this one is going to be huge!
 
I believe this is a 'perfect storm' scenario. We have all the hype of his economic plan, plus the debate, plus Cain is beginning to fall. On top of all of this Paul is now beginning to show signs of surging in Iowa. He was #1 in the new 'power rankings' over at The Minnesota Independent. Every other candidate has risen and then fallen. Paul has been steady and growing. Hold on tight folks. This is our chance.

Not to mention the "Ron Paul Media Blackout Confirmed" stories going today.
 
Ya, we cannot discount getting more people to pledge on the day of October 19th.

More people will learn about the moneybomb and donate spontaneously on that day, so Oct 19 is just one more day being able to promote. It doesn't simply end on Tuesday at midnight.

I'm hoping to have a few things in place to inspire donations on the 19th!
