Just an idea but how about a July 4th Moneybomb for Ron Paul endorsed Paul Broun for US Senate (Georgia)?

I've got some local currency I can hide from the wife and save it till then, so who's with me?

Can someone setup a Facebook page and event so we can promote this and get "opt ins" and actual commitments just like my cousin told me you guys did in the old days with some guy called Trevor?

Ron's email and donation link is below:

Dear Fellow Conservative,

There are those in Congress who attack our liberties, push for increased government takeovers of private industry, and support out-of-control spending. They have put our nation on the path to fiscal ruin.

These "go along to get along" politicians in Washington are more concerned about re-election than about defending the Constitution from federal government overreach.

Thankfully, there are a few strong defenders of the Constitution who stand firm against out-of-control spending and overreach by politicians in both political parties...

...Dr. Paul Broun of Georgia's 10th District is one of those principled Constitutional conservatives in Congress.

He has worked hard to get federal spending under control by sponsoring a balanced budget amendment and a bill to repeal ObamaCare. He's pushed for over $155 Billion in spending cuts over these last two years alone!

He has also been a strong proponent for oversight of the Federal Reserve and is now sponsoring my "Audit the Fed" bill in Congress. I cannot thank him enough for leading on this issue.

A few weeks ago Congressman Broun launched his campaign for U.S. Senate. He's counting on grassroots Constitutional conservatives like you to rally with me in support of his campaign.

Below is a personal email from Congressman Broun to you about his grassroots campaign for U.S. Senate.

Please take a few moments to read it. Then join his efforts today with your most generous contribution of $2,600, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $70, or $35.

Congressman Broun has been a staunch ally against out-of-control spending from politicians in both parties, and he will continue that fight in the Senate. We need Paul there! Like me, he's also one of the few remaining veterans of our armed forces serving in Washington.

You and I have an excellent opportunity to send one of our own to the U.S. Senate in 2014, and we must seize it.

Now more than ever, we must elect principled Constitutional conservatives who will reject the deficit-spending, "go along to get along" mentality in the U.S. Senate.

I am confident Paul Broun would join the ranks of principled U.S. Senators like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and my son Rand Paul.

Please read Congressman Broun's enclosed letter. Then join me in support of his grassroots campaign today with your generous gift of $2,600, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $70, or $35.

If we're going to restore our Constitution and put our nation back on the path to prosperity, we must elect principled conservatives who will fight in Washington.

Paul Broun will continue fighting, and that's why I endorsed his candidacy for U.S. Senate in Georgia.

Before you do anything else today, I ask you to read Congressman Paul Broun's enclosed letter and join his grassroots campaign with your generous contribution of $2,600, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $70, or $35.

Thank you for standing with me and Congressman Broun today.

Congressman Ron Paul, MD
U.S. Congressman (ret)

P.S. Patriotic, constitutional conservatives like you and me have an opportunity to send a proven, principled leader to the U.S. Senate. Please take a few moments to read the enclosed letter from Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia.

Once you've read his letter, please join his grassroots campaign for U.S. Senate with your most generous contribution of $35, $70, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, or even the federal maximum of $2,600. Thank you.

Broun responds to endorsement:

Broun said, “I am honored by my good friend’s endorsement, and I thank him for his continued support and encouragement. When I first came to Congress in 2007, Dr. Paul and I were the two most consistent and outspoken constitutional conservatives serving in Washington. As Dr. Paul knows, it’s often a lonely fight when you’re one of the few Members in Congress with the courage and principles to say no to the out-of-control spending being done by both political parties.

“When Dr. Paul retired, I picked up the mantle right where he left off by reintroducing his Audit the Fed bill. I also have continued to hold the line on restoring our Constitution, to cut government spending, and to fully repeal Obamacare.

“I’m ready to take that kind of leadership along with my beliefs about limited government to the United States Senate. With support from Dr. Paul and the grassroots community, this is a race that I know we can win.”

So what do you think?

If someone can make the FB page I will help promote it. N for cash too.
 
I have had lots of experience with moneybombs, running a few of them during both Ron and Rand's most recent campaigns. I would strongly advise against holding a moneybomb on July 4, as it is a day most people are not on their computers all day. This has been proven by past moneybomb attempts that have been held on July 4.

I would be open to helping to promote such an event, however, as long as it does not occur on the 4th of July.
 
Thanks Gage your experience is useful to this naive Warlord... We should maybe pick a date around 4th then.
 
Yep, good point by Gage. Perhaps an end of the month bomb on say, June 30th. Or if there's an anniversary of something Revolutionary in or around this time frame we could use that.
 
Here are some quick ones. I've not had a full look:

-
July 12th 1909 - 16th Amendment approved (power to tax incomes)

July 12th is also the day Hamilton died from his wounds the day after his duel with Vice President Burr in 1804.

And it's also a Friday which is great (end of work week and weekend)

The Continental Congress declared independence on July 2. (July 4 is when the language of the Declaration of Independence was approved).
 
July 12, 1909 (Monday)

By a margin of 317–14, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution sending the proposed Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution to the states for ratification. Alabama was first (on August 10) to ratify the income tax amendment, which was, on February 3, 1913, ratified by the required 36 states.

We can use this to emphasize our low tax principles (and outright opposition to an income tax)

Broun supports the so called Fair Tax:

-
Issue Position: End the Federal Income Tax & Abolish the IRS
Issue Position
By: Paul Broun
Location:

I endorse the Fair Tax concept which has been promoted by Georgia Congressman Linder in working to eliminate the federal income tax and abolish the IRS!

Imagine that April 15th is just another day on the calendar, not the day that every American dreads: Income Tax Day.

Imagine that Americans no longer work from January 1st to early June each year just to pay their taxes.

That is what will happen when the Fair Tax is adopted.

The Fair Tax also repeals every other form of federal taxation: corporate taxes, capital gains taxes, estate taxes, etc. These will simply be replaced by a national sales tax. The result will be lower taxes and greater tax fairness.
 
If we can get him to denounce the IRS spying on conservative groups this could be a wonderful educational opportunity as well showing support for the candidate.
 
ok sweet.. I think we go with that and also use it as an opportunity to educate Tea Partiers.

It's 2 months away so that gives us a lot of time to promote it and hopefully get him a decent amount of cash.
 
Sweet Gage thanks! That's awesome!

We can now promote the Broun moneybomb for a good 2 months! Hurray!
 
Wow, that's incredible you've invited 2,000 people!

Lets hope a good chunk of them RSVP.

I'll make another thread tomorrow since this brainstorming one has concluded.

Good job Gage and thanks for the advice on dates.
 
Good candidate for the first money bomb of the cycle. Anyone have an account on daily Paul to spread the word?
