I BEG THE SUPPORTERS: come to consensus on 1 HUGE money bomb and make it HUGE!!!!

[dvictr]

The two money bombs have been the defining factor in garnering media coverage and bringing credibility to the campaign... It is the reason Ron Paul has the greatest Grass Roots following ever, because the message is about free markets and civil liberites...

As the core of the grassroots online effort RIGHT HERE on ronpaulforums.com WE must consolidate our efforts to have another fundraising drive that makes FOX NEWS and the rest of the MSM say AMAZING AMAZING..I BEG YOU, I BEG YOU... please consolidate all the efforts into one Money Bomb....

ERASE the mlk bomb and all the other mini bombs... LETS go with the 17th www.BENJAMINSFORPAUL.com

ONE MONEY BOMB... HUGE donation total, record number of donors

 

[FSP-Rebel]

I concur...

 

[quantized]

i have been nagging these people too. There was a recent poll and it seems people favor Jan17 (BenFranklin day... see my signature) more than Jan21st.

"December 29, 2007


The Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary are only a few days
away. Wyoming, Michigan, Nevada, South Carolina, Florida and Maine will
soon follow. But on February 5th, nearly 20 other states will hold
their contests on the same day! That's right. In just six short weeks,
the Republican nominee for president will likely be determined.

As Wikipedia explains: "In the Spring of 2007, upwards of 20 states
with over half the delegates to the national conventions moved to change
their primary dates to 5 February 2008, creating the largest 'Super
Tuesday' to date. Newswriters and political pundits have noted that this
will dwarf the Super Tuesday primaries in previous cycles, creating a
'Giga Tuesday' or 'Super Duper Tuesday.'"

A year's worth of work is coming down to the next several weeks.
Victory can be ours. But we must triple our efforts and triple the amount
of money raised right away.

To run radio and television ads in 20 states simultaneously will cost a
fortune. Not to mention the cost of voter contact mailings to those
20 states. And then there is the cost of contacting hundreds of
thousands of people by phone. All of this, plus other projects, will cost
$23 million more than we presently have in the bank.

The progress we've made in 11 months is phenomenal. The dedication,
creativity, generosity, and just plain hard work by you and tens of
thousands of other Americans have already made history.

But we are not finished making history! First, Ron Paul becomes the
Republican nominee. Second, Dr. Paul becomes President Paul. Third,
our country becomes America again.

The time is now. Please make your most generous donation today."

one or the other website organizers must concede

People need to donate on Jan 17 and stick with Ron Paul Pay Day. Try to reach $6-$7 million on Jan 17 and keep steady flow of money with Ron Paul Pay Day.

I beg we don't make the Free At Last one the big one. The pledge is 10 dollars. Even if we have record amounts of donors, we won't make a dime because people will only donate the bare minimum. Even if we have Dec 16th numbers (50,000+ donors) it will be a 500k day.

We need much, much more than that. I'm for having the MLK day, but against it being the big moneybomb.

 

[StudentForPaul08]

I say we have a 100$ mass donation day. But let there be time. Make it official, not an obscure fund raising day.

Agreed.

And while I'm not against the MLK day for any particular reason, I think enough people here are that it makes sense to choose the Franklin date over it.


UNLESS...we can turn it into some kind of a competition...And see who can make the most dough, and use that to get all fired up about.

 

[dvictr]

OK ok... then we need to get MLK bomb from taking pledges... benjamins for paul and remove the mlk bomb website

 

[Trigonx]

the 17th needs to get some real backing quickly, or else that option will be off the table considering the time left til the 17th.

 

[dvictr]

my point is that when there is anticipation for ONE money bomb (benjaminsforpaul) the same type of atomospher around the internet can create the same or greater buzz... the moneybomb needs to be promoted on all social networking sites and have emails go out accross all mailing lists

 

[quantized]

Guys! We need to work together to get these people here to rally for Jan17. Everything will be too late after that. The campaign needs the money for SuperTuesday. Else everything will be over. Let us work hard to persuade people. Get Trevor to help us.

 

[rwl4]

Agreed! Let's make this happen!

 

[RonPaulFever]

I'm all about the Benjamins for Paul money bomb.....the MLK one not so much, but I still signed up for it. MLK is a controversial figure for reasons already mentioned on this forum, but everybody loves Ben Franklin!

 

[kushaze]

In all fairness I say we scrap both days, and go with a different moneybomb day. Both these days divided us and left a bad taste in our mouths. We need something fresh. I also don't think its fair that Trevor gets to decide what moneybomb day to go with because he has the email list (I wasn't pleased with the email I got from the teaparty that supported freeatlast).

I hate to be a naysayer and you guys should do what you want - but the campaign needs the money NOW. The 17th is only 3 weeks away from the Big Day. We CANNOT wait until then if we want to run a national campaign. Every poster in this thread is planning to donate, I assume? Get out your credit card, and donate RIGHT NOW.

no time for that... hardly anyone is getting behind either money bomb...

the market forces are sending a message and it doesnt look good...
