From now on we should take a vote for all Money Bomb Dates

[born2drv]

After December 16th, no one better rush out and buy anymore domains. We should all come here, open up a new thread, brainstorm on ideas, and VOTE on it on what the next date is.

The date VOTED upon should be the one we all promote. All other dates should be banned from the forum.

These things only work when we all work together, and I can't think of a better system then a democratic one. No more dictators, no more BS.

BTW - I hope Nov 30th flops. Not to be rude or mean, but the arrogance to pre-empt a money bomb before a major promoted money bomb was wreckless and foolish. There are many other ways to raise money, but there should only be one "money bomb" promoted at a time.

Thank you for listening.

I don't think there will be anymore after the 16th, at lest not before the primaries are over I wouldn't think, after the teaprty I think we'd probably have gotten the point across

The official campaign was demanding the money now, not wanting to wait around until the money bomb date.

So I can see why they moved it up.

Still. From now on ALL MASS COORDINATED FUNCTIONS/EVENTS need to be voted upon and written in stone.

Who made you boss?

 

[AlexMerced]

I'm all for trying it, but the grassroots is so decentralized it's hard to do, but I agree with you philosphically

If the campaign needs additional money let them go get a loan for it. Or tell their advertisers to give them 30 day terms to pay for it. It's only 2 weeks for God sakes. This is no excuse. If you need to accomplish something critical to your campaign, you buy it regardless of how much money you have in the bank as long as you're confident in your repayment of such loan.

I don't want to be the boss. That's why I'm saying let's vote on it. I just don't want any future events to fail. Don't you agree? Why should one persons voice count more then someone else?

How about we vote on whether or not we should vote?

 

[kylejack]

HELL NO. Let the free market decide. If a date isn't favored, people don't donate on that date, it is as simple as that.

Fine by me.

The campaign will not take out a loan with the EXPECTATION that they will receive 10 million dollars in one day because they don't KNOW that will happen. I have a feeling they will only spend money that they have.

Quoted for Truth.

And a note: http://infowars.net/articles/november2007/231107Donation.htm

November 30th is on Infowars.net. Face it, it's happening.

I'm setting up a New Years Bomb, but I won't announce it until the 16th, at 11:59pm... we're going to throw all of our money that we have left at Ron Paul on the last day of the Quarter... not for any added attention, merely so that we can increase our totals for when we release them the next day.

Right now the donations are VERY low. Just over $12k for the day at 1 PM Eastern vs. $240k in 10 hours when we were trying to beat Huck's money bomb - and that was only 3 days ago.

How could the campaign expect to repay loans with that kind of cash flow?

This isn't something where choice is good. This is something where we need to work together to coordinate. And not just that, but when you coordinate something big, it encourages people to participate and make it bigger. They see the donations going up fast and they want to donate more and more. They feel excited to have been part of something. So I disagree with you.

If you want to make your own fundraising activity, go ahead by all means. But don't promote it on here. This community needs to come together and rally around one date.

Like Dr. Paul, I vote NO.

Stupid idea. Voting takes time... action takes leaving people who want to mud up the process in our dust. FREEDOM. Heard of it?

 

[Myerz]

Geeez, even Ron Paul uses a calender. He can decide on dates, maybe we can to. How about this....... AND OF COURSE IT'S AFTER the TEA PARTY!!!.......

People, in general get paid every 2 weeks, so........................

How about the 1st and 15th of every month. Or for a more significant amount once month, the 1st of the month. Keep it easy! KISS - Keep it Simple Stupid!

This whole "DATE" debate is getting old.... we should be coming together on something other than a stupid date!

Sorry, this is not your tinpot. Freedom of speech is fully supported here, as evidenced by Hot Topics, and the moderators are not going to delete threads that don't stick to this voting protocol. The moneybombs can fight it out, like the Fifth and Veteran's Day did.

Should all Future Money Bombs be Voted Upon Here at RPF?

Please vote.
