I'll try working on this tonight. Lots of updates to work on!

Will the ticker stay up for the whole 72 hours?

Hey Dusman, I think we should still end the Pledge competition tonight as planned, even if we continue the moneybomb through the 21st. I think it is detracting from donations because people (myself included, a little bit) are still pushing for pledges trying to win the competition instead of pushing for donations.. I know a pledge is supposed to turn into a donation, but at this point I think it is just a little distracting.

I wish the campaign would still have his Plan for America highlighted somehow....

It ended at midnight and the pledge pages shouldn't be operational since about 2:00-3:00AM. We took a screenshot at exactly midnight and will be going through all the pledges for the top 3 and verifying all IPs are unique and that all e-mails are authentic.

I think I might have been in the top three, not sure, so in full disclosure:

I made an extra 2 pledge because I made two separate donations (in addition to my own) for two friends who couldn't donate today for various reasons. I have all three transaction ID's/info if you need to see them. Another thing with mine, I had my two brothers over and I they both pledged from my computer, so that may come up with the same IP address but different email's as well...

Have fun sorting through all the IP stuff

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

I agree! We've almost got 10,000 emails on the blackthisout website! So I think we can only go up from here! My suggestions: $100 or $200 OR maybe a "GO ALL IN FOR DR. PAUL" moneybomb, because the primaries are all sooner than planned and we really need to get money in there sooner. Maybe the $100 bomb, then an all in bomb?

just realize that by extending this by 3 days, you effectively deflate anything from upcoming Nov 5. Which is fine with me, Ron needs the money now. PLEASE lets not start promoting the next moneybomb until this 3-day event is over, ok?

 

[seawolf]

I Agree on Nov 5th Promotion Hold

I agree that we should hold promoting any future Money Bomb at this time. Planning can go on, but no out and out promotion until Saturday, October 22nd!!!

We are in historic times.....a three Day Money Bomb has never been attempted either in 2007 or during this Campaign cycle!!! Never period!!!

Let's enjoy the moment and see how many donations and donors we can help create in the next 50 + hours!!!!

Actually, I think this is really a Special Time to be a RP Grassroot's Member!!!!!

Is the ticker going to stay up for the whole 72 hours? I called the campaign and someone there said they promise to leave it up until tomorrow morning. I am worried because the call center has been taking lots of calls from people who couldn't donate online due to problems, but the call center went home at 6pm pacific time. I think this might really hurt us tonight. All the west coast people are coming home from work now and if they can't get through, we are going to miss a lot of donations.

We can't man the phones for 24 hours during a 24 hour money bomb!?! I am Active duty Navy stationed in Guam (US Territory) and billing address there as well. Tried to donating w/ CC but the campaign still hasn't added Guam on the pulldown. Tried Paypal w/ no success. Probably a conflict w/ mailing address/billing address. I tried calling and go nothing. Guess my donation will be tomorrow, IF I can get through to the call center.

If you look at the effort that has gone into this one, I doubt we'll be able to match it for anything in the future. I mean people were promoting this day after day hour after hour. Just look at how long this thread is. Might as well give the money to this one - get the money to Ron sooner and create a bigger total.

Who was it that had contact with the Ron Paul 2012 Facebook page? We need them to install a new banner advertising the 72 hour extension. It's our job to get the word out. This is a good start. We need somebody to make a new banner or edit the current one.

That would be me, and I have asked him about doing a Facebook banner, but he said that facebook page wouldn't let him for some reason... or are you talking about the picture for the page? I can ask him to change that to something new. What picture?

I'm facebook friends with him. I'm sure others are as well.
