Yea sorry about that I remember mentioning in a thread from last week the official campaign coming in a week before Dec. 16th and basically duplicating a pledge page and how the official campaign was sending mixed signals probably helped to get the ball rolling in terms of grassroots taking back the MBs. Considering this last MB could have been a lot more successful and some of the brainstorming and motivation probably was fueled by the question as to whether they were going to be fully responsible going forward for MBs or if the grassroots is better positioned to organize and promote these. Believe me when I then saw you guys start up a thread for a grassroots organized MB I was happy to see it, we really do need to take this back this activity that originated in the grassroots. However I did not see until last night or the night before that there was some options for MB themes, the poll especially brought up again the debate we have been having all election cycle about whether to go with a soft theme or to go with a although some would say theme geared for more hard-core supporters, I would say a more passionate theme.
I just can't in all honesty support the theme "Bailout" for anything it's such a negative word not just for others outside of the campaign but for those that would be targeted to ask for donations. it really shouldn't be used as fundraising message, but that's just my opinion. When I saw that NOBP was another option and considering a meme had already begun in the grassroots it seemed the obvious choice. I would suggest that the group organizing B4F target March and let NOBP focus on February or if that is not acceptable then have both themes run and target the same date that way both approaches can be used and would probably support a even more successful fundraising day.
