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

[emeriste]

Absolutely agree. Pull everything except the Benjamins for Paul. Everything else is a distraction that dilutes the effort. At the same time, I am sympathetic to the project at RonPaulsPayDay.com since I think it doesn't compete with any one day push. The idea at Ron Paul's Payday is that everyone agree to give 25 dollars every week.

If you want another Money Bomb to be big enough to get any attention it should be (1) Concentrated on January 17th and (2) WE MUST GET THE MOST talented video producers in the revolution to start promoting it as they did the tea party (those videos were a large part of how I got off the fence and really became involved).

We are at the voting stage if you have money you can donate then donate it then get out and find voters, get people registered Republican and follow up with them to make sure they actually show up to vote. Sitting around thinking money bombs are going to win this is ridicules. Huckabee just kicked our butts in Iowa and he has a fraction of the money Ron Paul has.

Heres my 2 cents.. We need money now and we need a lot. The only way I see possible is if we start some type of week-long money bomb. First off we need a fresh idea that everyone can get excited about. We would start this on the day of the Primary in NH because these forums will be PACKED(like the last primary). We need start a 7-day money bomb and start it with a first good day(Jan 8 primary day) with the intentions of not stopping it for a week or maybe a few less days(That can be decided). By starting on the 8th with the forums packed it would be possible for a huge amount of people to hear about it and others will have plenty of time to participate and find out about it. Imagine if we picked up 500k the primary day, then 500k for every day after(or more) as more and more hear about the plan. As it went on we could decide what actions to take. This seems like the only way and it would end before these money-bomb dates even come up. When they do arrive people can also donate again(if possible) and new people will help out as well. This would only work if we all planned it together and we had the right day to begin. Jan 8th is our day and the results from NH can boost this (Also attract new-comers). I believe something like this is the only way to get the money we need and in time. It is critical that we take advantage of the fact these forums will be packed to record levels on Jan 8th.

How about donating any and all you can at the moment you are able to!! They need money now not later, and we aren't going to raise 6mil again in 1 day.. it is time to hit the streets and keep the money flowing rather than wait to give it to them!!

 

[NerveShocker]

Sigh I wish it was that simple but it's not. It needs to be organized. On Jan 8th if we already have something planned while the forums are packed to record levels AND we place well in NH this can work...

Give HQ $$$ now...every week...

http://www.ronpaulspayday.com/

Nothing big will happen in 10 days....a few more weeks are needed for something big....

Nothing has gone viral....and 10 days is not enough time to even match the 5th of Nov.

HQ needs money now....stop holding out for money bombs.

If you are going to do one....PLAN for it...don't announce it 2-3 weeks in advance and not already have videos ready...pffft...

But what do I know....I'm maxed and straying away from the board....I'll be on the streets

...just my $0.02...

That is not working.. it has been at 8000$ for days.. We need a fresh plan people can get excited about. There will already been tons of excitement on Jan 8th primary day especially after the results. The forums will be filled to new records.. we need to take advantage of it this time. That's exactly what this plan would do, especially if announced all over in this day before the primary. It's simple donate on the day of the primary and don't stop for a week! It would be wise to divide donations if you want to donate on different days but even that isn't necessary as more donations will come each day as more hear about the plan. Especially all the people joining after we shock them in NH.

 

[emeriste]

If this community has it's heart set on money bombs then you do need to concentrate on one day without other days diluting it. The most logical day to rally around would be Jan 17th. No later than that, certainly, because we cannot afford the luxury of waiting. The primaries will be over very soon!

However, as I listen to the arguments, I am increasingly of the opinion that these money bombs are an idea whose time and value has come and gone. What exactly is the latent purpose of a money bomb? Is it to attract media attention? To do that we will have to continuously top our best efforts. Which is not realistic or fair to people who are already giving everything they can. Is it to finance the campaign? If that is what it is, then really you should donate RIGHT NOW as much as you can. I don't think everyone is appreciating how soon this is all going to be over. If you are going to compete in races that are going to be held 3 or 4 weeks from now, you need to be making the ads and spending the money right now!

I think the greatest benefit of the money bombs were that they raise awareness and credibility for Dr. Paul. The laws of marginal utility are not going to allow us to continue going to that well. What Dr. Paul needs NOW is a dependable and steady cash flow. Therefore, I urge everyone to consider www.RonPaulsPayDay.com and pledge a fixed amount that you will give every Friday.

Frankly there are also opportunity costs to consider. Money that we send to the official campaign cannot be sent to keep the blimp flying or any of a number of other imaginative unofficial efforts. And, for as much as I love Dr. Paul and passionately support his message, I find myself a bit disappointed in the lack of agility and creativity from Ron Paul's campaign managers.

These are just my thoughts. Like everything else in this revolution, if any of them appeal to you, please pass them along. www.WeLoveFreedom.com

Benjamins has a lot less pledges. If you think its best, pledge there and that will help it grow momentum.

Pledges = momentum for moneybomb

 

[NYgs23]

I hate to say it, but it might be difficult to get much of anything great going until the campaign starts making great showings in the primaries. That's what people are waiting for now.

Exactly The primary day in NH will be a great day to start this. If we do well it will do great.. if not well.. then we're in trouble, because we need a good placing in NH. We can't miss the opportunity of having these forums packed, we need to give people something to do while they are here. That of course would be kicking off our first 7day money-bomb which could easily get people excited and will leave others plenty of time to hear about and join in on.

As I said above.. that just isn't working. It hasn't excited people.. A 7 day money-bomb starting on the day of the Primary in NH when this place will be packed and when we do great in NH(I think) could work and get the excitement we need. This is because so many would hear about and can spread the word also it would be timed for when new supporters will be flooding in(Assuming we surprise everyone in NH). With the loyal supporters donating on the first day, and more and more old supporters/new supporters hearing about it and joining in the next days it could grow huge. Making it several days in a row will ensure almost nobody who wants to donate will miss it. It would be a huge mis-step on our parts not to take advantage of the thousands who will be on the forums on the 8th.

That is a very good idea. Immediately start picking up donations as soon as we begin getting word from the ground troops. We'll need to keep those threads bumped and whatever else to make it go viral.

Thank you! The idea just came to me.. I was trying to think of a real plan that people can actually be excited about. Those who think that NH will have good results can donate early just to get it going, but the majority if they wish can wait and then get this thing started. This biggest problem with Nov 5th and Dec 16th money bomb's was the simple fact that they ended after 24hours. A week long money-bomb would have plenty of time to gather attention (especially starting on a day like Jan 8th) and as more learn about it each day it could show better results. This would of course only work if everyone spreads the plan today so people know what we're doing.

 

[fireworks_god]

No moneybombs! Local South Carolina advertising and projects only!

 

[eric_cartman]

i agree. we need to pick one money bomb and stick with it.

what about trying to get the official campaign involved? let's try and get the official campaign on board with this one, since that will let everyone know that this is the next real money bomb.

again, as a canadian, i want to thank all the ron paul supporters out there. you guys are great! keep up the good work.

 

[NerveShocker]

The money-bombs are too late unfortunately. Keep the money-bombs but we need something now as well. Eric.. did you even read my master plan..? J/k.. but it might actually work.
We need to at the least do something on Jan 8th (Tomorrow). There will be tons of excitement as people anticipate the results and if we do manage to do well it will be insane. We need to use the excitement and mass amount of people who will be at the forums to do something! It would be a mistake not to.

unfortunately too, because I would hate to see this movement come to an end if we dont get top 3 in NH...
