Maybe it is just not working for me cause im on an ipad for some reason. When I click the facebook attending link it says "Sorry, something went wrong.

We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can."

Maybe it is just an ios/facebook glitch or something. At any rate the blackthisout facebook page still works for me.

One more...and I guess Twitter (or Joe Rogan) has a thing where you cannot send the exact same Tweet again. I tried to send the 2nd one again since it appears he is online (tweeting) but I couldn't - said "forbidden". At first I thought I had been blacked out, but then I just removed one word and the Tweet went through.

I've been going through this thread for the last hour and haven't caught up yet. I just wanted to put out there that we need RonPaulForums to send out another email blast on the day of.

Also, has it been decided if we're going to post a letter to the media on the website? I remember seeing a letter written up by Bobcat on page 338 of this thread, but haven't had a chance to read it yet.
 
Here is the letter Bobcat wrote to the MSM. If we use it, we'll need to clean it up first.

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.

One suggestion for the main picture on the Facebook page: shouldn't October 19th still be included on there somewhere? Yes, the money bomb is "tomorrow" but it also starts tonight at 12:00, which is October 19th. We want to still push this date so that people aren't confused about exactly what day tomorrow is, or if they're unsure.
 
Well guys this thread tells the tale of the BTO moeybomb. In under 15 hours we will find out how well we did. Good job to everyone who helped to make this event what it has become. Let's continue to keep promoting this thing anywhere and everywhere for one final 2 day push. Congrats and good luck!
 
On facebook they have this new ticker feature. I was reading some of the scrolls and saw one for the moneybomb. I had an idea. How about if all of us who have facebook accounts go to our home pages and post something about the moneybomb every hour on the hour from now until the moneybomb is over?

December 16th 2007 was on a Sunday. 59,000, just sayin. I think we'll be fine anyway, but don't think we'll come close to 59,000 at this point in the game. I'd love to be proved wrong.

Yeah, that has largely been the exception to the rule though. It will be interesting to see if we get anywhere near a $100 avg donation or if we get ((pledges x 2) = donors)

i figure we will have...


19,000 FB pledges + 7,400 BTO pledges + 6,000 pledges through the campaign's page = about 32,000 pledges. Granted there is probably a decent amount of overlap.

For comparison, Dec. 16th had 35,000 pledges.

Right on all accounts, I'm hoping for the same type of scenario that has been the case in the past as you have pointed out. Say we get 20,000 pledges, hopefully we'll end up with at least 30,000 to 35,000 donating. That's why I'm putting my money total estimation at 3 to 3.5 million based on an average donation of 100 bucks. 200 would be great, but we're going to need some big donors to help out the smaller ones. If we hit 4 million bucks I'm going to consider this a HUGE success! Of course 3 million isn't to shabby, but I know a lot of folks are counting on bigger numbers and I hope people don't get discouraged if we don't hit 5 or 6 million.
 
Don't forget to send out a poignant BTO message to the older people who constantly Forward you Republican chain emails!
