[FEBRUARY MONEYBOMB] - VOTING AND DECIDING ON THEME

[Sentinelrv]

In my opinion, Paul or Nothing isn't as clear and I think it could be taken to mean a couple different things. No One But Paul is much more forceful and clear that it will be Paul or no one at all. Because of its forcefulness, it's also more energizing in my opinion. Making the slogan more positive and winning sounds like you're just trying to soften it up, which as I said makes it less appealing to hardcore supporters, those that are more likely to donate money.

Okay, not to throw a monkey wrench into the process, but why not go ahead with both Bailout for Freedom and No One But Paul on the same date? They'll both raise money, and the Bailout might attract new contributors. The Bailout site's already got a webmaster from what I understand.

That also gives the formal campaign a title they can promote. There's no way they can promote a No One But Paul moneybomb. It would be political suicide.

This is what I suggested also. Go ahead with both. Each one attracts a different crowd.

Well, normally I would say "fine with me", but after last week I do have to mention something. I did a poll on this last week in a topic in which I shared the idea of holding a competing-themes-moneybomb:

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...NEYBOMB-PLEASE-HELP-DECIDE-THE-NEXT-MONEYBOMB!!

The poll results was that 72% of the people wanted to see a one-theme-moneybomb.

In my opinion, Paul or Nothing isn't as clear and I think it could be taken to mean a couple different things. No One But Paul is much more forceful and clear that it will be Paul or no one at all [emphasis added]. Because of its forcefulness, it's also more energizing in my opinion.

So in order to describe the forcefulness of "No One But Paul" you flipped the phrase to "Paul or no one at all" or, said better, "Paul or Nothing!" Good point. Paul or Nothing is more forceful and clear. Thanks for indirectly proving my point.

PAUL OR NOTHING!

GHoeberX do you have an idea when we might reach a decision on the Theme and date for the February Money Bomb.

While I know that John Tate in his e-mail yesterday extended the South Carolina Money Bomb thru Saturday, every day is precious in marketing the February Event.

As I said earlier, I hope we can reach a consensus by this weekend and get the ball moving fast.

I've already mentioned it two times in the topic, but I understand it's quite chaotic, so I'll add the following to the opening post as well.

POLL CLOSES WEDNESDAY 18 JANUARY AT NOON (EASTERN TIME)

(I think it would be unfair if I would close the poll on a short-notice, that's why I prefer to set a deadline.)

If we do the NOBP moneybomb we should do it with a twist. Of all the GOP candidates NOBP: Is against the NDAA NOBP: Would bring the troops home NOBP: Understands the business cycle...

A couple people thought this was a good idea on the other thread so hope it happens.

This is what I like about the theme most as well. We can make youtube videos on the topics and then target them through advertising on facebook.

Paul or Obama - your choice.

The idea would be that if Paul isn't nominated Obama will be re-elected, but maybe that's not clear from the title. Another interpretation would be that there's not much diff between Obama and the other pubs, so even if a non-Paul pub won the election, there wouldn't be much change. But that would be even less clear to the average voter.

Also does anyone have the link to a ticker that makes sense. These show the same amt raised over the last 7, 30, and 60 days:

Guys...

No one but Paul will not bring in NEW donors. Sorry, but it won't. Will it bring in money from supporters who already love Paul? Yep.

But new ones? (which we desperately need?) No.

I like the title, but I think it would be better in March/April. For February - we need something that will capture NEW support. It's DO time!

 

[rgc4rp]

How about the Anti-Mitt Bomb

Maybe it will get all anti mitt supporters

 

[mosquitobite]

or a "Take off the Mittens" bomb?

that might actually work if we can promote the 2-man race between Romney and Paul, but Gingrich is somehow managing to stay in, and probably will simply because people want an Anti-Mitt. Gingrich sees it as himself.

THIS.

My, gosh, people. We need something that can easily advertise to others without coming off as rude or forceful.

The NOBP theme is great, don't get me wrong, but this is a big money bomb and we will need as many new donors as possible.

And how was there such a big jump for NOBP? Bailout for Freedom was higher last I checked.
