OK, this will be the actual thread used for the team I am starting. I will ask to get it stickied. The reason I am starting this is because I don't think it's being promoted enough, so I am taking matters into my own hands and asking everyone here to join me.

I'm not sure if this will work, but if someone is interested in being a leader of one of the sub-teams, say so here as well

 

[Bilgefisher]

[Jeremy]

I sense there could be serious blowback from the MLK day money bomb… I hope Ron Paul addresses the Newsletters scandal prior to the event… it just seems... Hypocritical to do this fundraiser until Dr. Paul reveals the names of the bigoted ghostwriters.

It’s a double edged sword, the better Dr. Paul does, the more the Media will report about the Newsletters.

 

[Jeremy]

That's not true. He has already addressed it and it's not going to come back up. You must be a little late... the whole story is over. The president of the NAACP backed us up today as well. Besides, this event will show people that he's not racist... how would it do the opposite? o.0

 

[hillertexas]

We need a template for the messages in MySpace.
There are 114724 MySpace friend of Ron Paul

I am sorry, but the scandal has not gone away, and the NAACP and Ron Pauls statement is not sufficient... it needs to be addressed, and saying that the scandal is gone isn't going to make it go away. We know and believe in Ron Paul so the scandal seems silly to us, but to the average voters needs more.

 

[Jeremy]

Please stop talking about that in this thread. It's not going to be a problem.

Subject: Now is the time to rise....

On January 21st, 2008..​

Please join us this January 21st as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., by acting together to support Dr. Ron Paul, a new hero who fights for the same American principles of liberty and justice for all.


Martin Luther King Jr. was an American hero who dedicated his life to fighting for liberty and justice for all Americans. In 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, he saluted our spirits with the immortal words, "I have a dream..." Today the dream of liberty and justice for all is slipping through our fingers. Our government no longer speaks for the people. It is waging an immoral, unconstitutional war abroad, while stripping us of our basic civil liberties at home. Now another American hero has taken the stage to fight for our freedom. Dr. Ron Paul, like Dr. King, opposes the immoral wars that we have fought abroad, and he believes in the principles on which our beloved Republic was founded.

On January 21st, when we honor Dr. King and his message of peace and freedom, please support Dr. Ron Paul, who carries the same message, with a pledge of $10 or more. Do not let history record that those of us who had the most to lose, did the least to prevent its happening.

Please pledge to donate on January 21, 2008 at www.freeatlast2008.com.

Let your voice be heard.

Please pass this along to your friends and family.

 

[Jeremy]

is linking to YT videos too much?

oh and also, maybe we should, at the bottom, ask them to encourage their friends to participate as well

 

[Bittle]

Why does Ron Paul support MLK so much? King was an admitted Marxist and was against most of the freedoms we're fighting for right now in America via Dr. Paul. If this money bomb is just to make Paul seem "anti-racist", then I think it's pretty ridiculous.

 

[Jeremy]

King was for liberty and against America trying to police the world

from bnyles:
"Well the easiest way would be to ask the owners of http://www.myspace.com/ronpaul2008 and http://www.myspace.com/congressmanronpaul to post a bulletin.

Harvesting MySpace friend id-s would be doable but sending messages is something completely different. Why? Because MySpace has installed a CAPTCHA test -- it means that in order to send a message You have to recognize an image and type in the numbers and charaters You see. That is a very difficult thing to do with a computer program. So real human beings have to send the messages.

Right now Ron Paul 2008 profile has over 100000 friends. If everybody sent 100 predefined messages then we need a thousand volunteers to get the word out. Of course that would require a central master contact list. I do not know if people would bother to update it.. so I guess the only way would be to distribute 100 friend chunks of it. But then again, bad boys might grab it and we will never now that say 50000 people have not received the message.

The only real solution I see is a creation of a proxy website for sending messages to MySpace. It would go something like this:

1) a user logs into this proxy website using his or her MySpace account (username and password are not saved, only used for authentication to MySpace)

2) theres a button "send message" -- when clicked, the user grabs an entry from the master friend list, sees the CAPTCHA from MySpace, solves it and sends the message away. So sending a message to a friend of Ron Paul would require less than 10 seconds.

Everyone could do it, provided that. And the real benefit is that the sender doesn't have to surf the profile of Ron Paul and synchronize with other grassroots activists about who has been notified of the upcoming money bomb."

 

[Jeremy]

OK, can you try to contact them?

Although, if they work for the official campaign, they won't be able to do it. I bet the second one you posted doesn't work for RP though
