Drop the 15th, focus on 16th

[FreeTraveler]

So how about we work it like this...
What do you think;
15th, constitution remembrance, education, mobilization by supporters to blanket the internet and their communities. Push the donations for the 16th.
16th, remind people and donate like hell.

Yep, that's been the plan since about day 2 of this process. Trevor is concentrating on the fundraiser on the 16th first, then when that's done we'll dig into the planning for the outreach efforts on the 15th.

I have reworked the site to be more in line with the wishes of this group.

I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions.

Bob,
I think Dec 15 can be a big day organizational and PR wise for the active supporters and meet up groups. It can prepare them for future big events and their state primaries and of course it can create some buzz to kick start the money day, Dec. 16.

Perhaps your site can collect ideas for and news of promotional activities being planned for Dec 15. This could be a good information source to insiders.

Ideas could include Free Tea booths, musical concers, lobbying media to do some lead up stories in advance of the BIG DAY, and of course flag waving, handing out flyers, putting up banners etc.

Maybe you can create a Bill of Ideas (For events / promotions) to link to the Bill of Rights theme.

Good ideas, LBT. I have started gathering links to BOR day activities and observations, and hope to get other related content as well.

Thanks!

bump. Only one more one day money bomb for QT4. That day is DECEMBER 16th.

Having two dates causes confusion, not only that but it stretches out total payments so that the effective 1-day total would be less than if we just focused on the 16th.

Good point.

16th would be the big day and all should focus on that to not dilute efforts or cause confusion.

I like the idea of only mentioning the 16th in videos and on websites. Keeping the 15th internal sounds like the best plan.

I agree.

Guys, come on, the whole world is looking at teaparty07.com now.
Get on the team, 122%, let's go.
Focus in on getting our man 10m in one day. We have one chance, redirect ALL sites and all actions to the 16th.
Honestly, this is my business in Hollywood, we'll never have a chance to change DC like the chance we have now.
Let our own ideas go, push, push, push Dec 16th, that date and THAT date alone will go down in history, don't confuse a single person or hinder a single person in their concept of how important that date is. This entire campaign stands and falls on that date. PERIOD. Nothing else matters at this point, every intention, every action, every communication and every promotional consideration or thought should be directed at one laser like focused target, and the question each of us must ask every day is this..." Today, did I do everything I could possibly do to focus more people on the www.teaparty07.com site for a Dec 16th donation?"
People, it's time, time for the People's champion and your personal rendevouz with destiny.
" You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness." Ronald Reagan.
Our date with destiny is Dec 16th.
Let's do it.....Let's really do it.

Just an observation: I've seen a handful of posts talking about ideas for the 15th, but hardly anyone is reading them or responding to them. If we aren't generating "buzz" among committed supporters for the 15th, what are the chances of success in the general populous? It looks to me that beyond the already-planned meetups on the 15th, the idea has no traction and will soon fizzle out on its own.
