MODERATOR NOTE: This money bomb site is organized by a FOR-PROFIT group. While there may not be a direct profit from the donations made on the day of the money bomb, the e-mail addresses collected by the group have, in the past, been used in other for-profit ventures. Some examples from 2009/2010 revenue included $4,050 from the Peter Schiff campaign, $24,400 from the Rand Paul campaign and $400 from the Adam Kokesh campaign.[/SIZE]

MODERATOR NOTE 2: The pledge website for the money bomb says to "Enter your email address to pledge to give". Based on past results with this business, entering your e-mail address will also get you signed up onto a mailing list.

MODERATOR NOTE 3: The original title of this thread including the word "official". This has been removed as there is nothing official about this, and it has not, as of yet, been supported by the official campaign. Please do not spread disinformation.


Original Poster note: I had no idea about any of this, and I wasn't trying to pimp this moneybomb. I just got an invite on fbook and shared here.

I don't appreciate the "negative rep", Gage. Totally uncalled for.

Terrible date for a moneybomb..

Nobody wants to do July 4th, at least as far as I could judge from the overwhelming support here of the July 19th Ready Ames Fire money bomb. I knew Trevor was going to do this. We need to get him on our side and convince him to cancel July 4th. It's not helping us in my opinion. Those who want this canceled and replaced by the July 19th date should email him and tell him this. Here is his email...

Tell Trevor to focus on July 19th! [email protected]

Another money bomb only 14 days after July 5th will kill us. Show him the poll and discussion linked above also.

 

[Jeremy Tyler]

Yeah I thought the 19th was our best bet?

 

[Esoteric]

Terrible date for a moneybomb..

Agreed. It's a 2-day bomb, but still, the first day is what most will focus on, and most people will be at barbecues.

 

[TIMB0B]

What are the chances of both the 4th and 19th being successful?

 

[Sentinelrv]

Sent my email to Trevor. I hope if any of you agree with this, you will do so also. I believe if this goes ahead it could severely hurt us.

 

[Billay]

Neither 1 will be a success. Give it up.

 

[Jim Casey]

Happy Birthday To You.

July 4th is a no-no. End of Quarter Push plus July 19th will likely end in a more positive result for the Ron Paul campaign.

Push it real good and it'll result in a quartering of support.

I think it is a great date for the money bomb and I am in.

Donate if you're proud to be an American! +1

Are we going to do this again? It is the reason there wasn't sufficient time to prepare for the last one, noone knew which it was going to be. My main concern is that we be united as grass roots in pushing for one, so we can get started spreading the word. How do we do that?

If the grass is going to grow rather that dry up and get smoked, we need the grassroots delivering the papers. I went to go get the papers, get the papers.

This times a million!

 

[UtahApocalypse]

Well Trevor needs to be banned from here. He is no longer "Grassroots" He also is now activley censoring on the FB page anyone that mentions canceling, or the email list. I am DONE with that ego filled asshole.

 

[PaulConventionWV]

We can't have our forces split on this one. Nobody else is going to be donating on that date, and if it happens, it will be a severe flop. I am not donating on this one no matter who says to do so, and I encourage everyone else to do so as well.

Save your money for the 19th.

Are we going to have to go through this every single Money Bomb date? I mean really? What is going on with this. July 19th has been far and away the most supported date for July and really has a great theme with the Ames straw poll. Makes no sense at all.
