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

[JustinL]

Their ticker is only a 3 million ticker, let's blow that thing out of the water! Shame they didn't try anything more fancy beyond having a ticker, would have been cool! Perhaps it was a bandwidth issue with doing anything more complicated? Dunno. But I'm sure we can beat 3 million!

Did anybody get the count at 12:00 AM? I just got home.

spread to OWS and Tea Party groups

loosely 75k on the 18th + 75k since midnight = $150,ooo for BTO and climbing

it was at 20,000 at 11:48 - quit watching it after that. I'd say probably around 20,030 was the final number or so

i think he is talking about FB pledges

 

[pauliticalfan]

FB pledges were slightly over 20k, say 20,070 or so, but I don't have an exact number.

Both the Facebook picture (still says tomorrow) and the Blackthisout.com site need to be updated! The sooner the better I think.

We are working on it right now!

Can someone look into grabbing the donation ticker code that the campaign web site is using?

Joe rules. He retweeted something I sent to him the other day about the WoD, and 200+ people retweeted it afterwards.

Ok, a couple things. The image on the Facebook event needs to be changed to say "Today!" Also, somebody posted this in another thread. If it's possible, it might be a good idea to go ahead with it...

I'm not sure but I think if the event owner changes the title of a Facebook event it might notify everyone.

Might be a good idea for whoever's in charge to update the title to something like "Black This Out Money Bomb! -- HAPPENING NOW!" or periodically throughout the day to something like "Black This Out Money Bomb! -- $1 Million & Counting!"

And one other thing, in the morning we need to send out reminder emails using the RonPaulForums and BlackThisOut email lists. We should definitely brag about how much we've brought in so far. We need people to be excited about this so that they go promote it.

Yep, this should happen as soon as possible so everyone gets these when they wake up in the morning.

8:00 AM is usually the time when donations start spiking again right? If so, we need the email to be sent out before then, maybe around 7:00 AM so that it will be in their inbox by the time they wake up.
