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

[DrN0]

They didn't have website problems back in '07 when they were on a shoe string, why would they have it now? I've heard reports this time around that the website has been hit on previous occasions by dos attacks. If that's true, the campaign should do a press release on it and RP should mention it in the debates.

Due to the fact that the Black This Out Money Bomb lost two hours and approximately $120,000 in potential donations earlier earilier today due to the bandwith issue I strongly recommend the following:

Ask the Campaign to extend the Black This Out Money Bomb thru tomorrow in order to maximize donations and hopefully mine/find new donors thru our outreach programs in place.

Sadly, this Money Bomb will now forever have an asterick after it because of the lost time (almost 10% of the 24 hour Money Bomb timeframe) due to circumstances beyond the control of the RP Grassroots, particularly the ones on this thread who busted their tails to make this day happen.

Let's turn a slight negative into an overwhelming positive and get the most donations and donors we can thru a 24 hour extension.

Yes, I'm thinking we need to extend until tomorrow too. If we get coverage from Joe Scarborough on his show tomorrow, we'll get a lot of curiosity, I'm sure, it will be worth it to do this.

 

[kill the banks]

it should be extended

 

[1stAmendguy]

Agreed they should extend it. Has some suggested this to the campaign yet?

 

[dusman]

We are working on that.

 

[BIG_J]

We should make it a 7 day marathon lasting until midnight on the 26th.

 

[JamesButabi]

We are working on that.

Definitely. Donations are hot right now. The hype will last through tomorrow. Ticker needs to stay up

 

[michaelkellenger]

Even with that time back....our donations are not on par with the whole pledges thing....and facebook attendees.

 

[justatrey]

I'm curious what the total # of donors is. This has always been the key, imo.

We have gotten less than 1% of supporters to donate for previous moneybombs. I was hoping we could make it 3, 4, or 5% this time. That's really all it takes for a massive moneybomb: everyone who can just chipping in something - even $2 or $3 instead of relying so heavily on the diehards to donate huge.

With that said we still have all evening so let's keep our heads up! I'm still thinking 3 mil is possible if we want it bad enough...

We'll need to wait until the entire event is over and do an effective postmortem on it so that way we can test the theory in this thread regarding pledges+donations, etc.. we could learn some interesting things from crunching the numbers (once it is over) that will help with future money bombs.

 

[LibertyEsq]

We may have to go back to the 2007 model and try to get 30,000 concrete pledges for $100.00 or $201.20 or something

 

[Monique]

I am on facebook too and the only notification I got was the little event's box on the side of my account had a number in there. That isn't much of a reminder. Every day I have notifications for events and I have tuned them out completely. Is there any way to contact all these people?

I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic and remind you that people are just getting home from work on the east coast now. The ticker is doing the talking currently.

 

[LibertyEsq]

I think we'll be over 3m for the day. Ticker is doing a steady 3k+/min now, almost double 2 hours ago

 

[rideurlightning]

We need to set up mass rallies all over the country the next time we go for such a bold number.

BTO Extension Update???

Does anyone have an update on the BTO Extension Proposal for 24 hours?

Has the Campaign responded to our request??

 

[seawolf]

Ron Paul Forums Declares BTO 72 Hour Money Bomb!!!!

Dunsman and or anyone else working on this issue, can you confirm that we have an extension from the Campaign. Do any of you have further ideas, suggestions etc. on how to maximize this golden opportunity!!!!!

 

[Monique]

Anyone donating, please do so asap. The website is lagging badly and the call center is handling all the overflow. However the call center folks leave at 6pm Pacific time. That is just when folks are getting home. I have begged them to stay later, so we will see. If you know of any people who plan on donating later in the evening over the phone, please call the campaign and let them know. If they know lots of donations are coming in later, they will stay late. Poor folks have been there all day.
