[FEBRUARY MONEYBOMB] - VOTING AND DECIDING ON THEME

[GHoeberX]

Alright, the South-Carolina moneybomb is still going on, but as it looks like the ticker might be up for the rest of the week (source CNN), we cannot afford to wait one week to plan the next moneybomb.

Disclaimer
First of all a little disclaimer, I'm in no means 'in charge' of this moneybomb, I'm just trying to help to get a generally grassroots accepted moneybomb theme. Also, there have been a lot of ideas posted for a new moneybomb on the forum, so the following list is not complete. I've tried to select the themes which received the most response on DailyPaul and RonPaulForums. If you prefer a theme which I have not listed, please comment in the topic.

POLL CLOSES WEDNESDAY 18 JANUARY AT NOON (EASTERN TIME)

Information on the fundraising-themes:
Bailout for Freedom
Working on it: mosquitobite & Mckarnin

Something's Happening Here Moneybomb

NO ONE BUT PAUL!

Tough choice between Bailout for Freedom and No-one But Paul. In the end I opted for the former.

 

[Mckarnin]

Thanks GhoeberX. As you requested more info:


"bailout for freedom" domain has been purchased and hosted and the web work is underway. It is scheduled for February 17th. If people want to start competing moneybombs that is fine but we have gotten enough input that we aren't waiting around anymore. We want a month to promote this baby.

NOBP, especially considering that message has already been accepted by a large majority of the grassroots it would be a great rallying cry around a money bomb, I challenge anyone to come up with something better, but the NO One But Paul slogan works very well for a MB.

Anything with the word "Bailout" I kind of cringe at a bit, the NOBP message is already starting to be engrained in the grassroots pysche and it sends a message how dedicated Ron Paul supporters are to making sure he get's both the nomination and getting him in the white house.

I propose an "End the Fed" theme I think that goes over quite well

Sounds good. I think it's fair to say that the Bailout for Freedom is the furthest so far with people willing to work for it, so I add it as a "Pro" for the Bailout for Freedom-theme.

I agree that No One but Paul would be a great moneybomb. If it doesn't get run as a competing moneybomb in Feb. I could see it being really powerful when he's had a chance to rise in the polls in a few more states after ads are run, etc and more Americans are willing to say NoBP.

Maybe No One but Paul should be a MB for March.

Maybe a play on the Random acts of kindness day?

Random bailout for Liberty day? Something....

 

[lucent]

I'd rather have Bailout Liberty or Liberty Bailout.

Love of Liberty

I Vote (SHH) ... its the best way for us to gain new supporters! No One but Paul is too arrogant, to gain new supporters. Bailout might work... jmho.
