Next Moneybomb? February 22nd or March 6th

[newbitech]

if we need to do the domain name change, I will do it, it only cost $10 for a year and that includes free hosting on my unlimited host.

I flipped the bill for randsmoneyblitz.com because 4 days ago in chat that is what was decided after a few hours of late nite chat.

so I will do it again if you guys want to chip in, my paypal is

Chipped in $10. My only problem with "money blitz" is that is sounds "scammy" and unrelated to politics. So someone might be suspicious. I'm thinking winrandwin.com

yeah, winrandwin.com is available.

I am going to go ahead and get that registered now.

 

[newbitech]

alright that's done.

it will take a little bit before dns propogates,

in the meantime, I will go ahead and set up the mirror for randsmoneyblitz.com to pull the database over.

I'll post back when ready.

BTW, in the interest of transparency, $20 has been collected for the domain name change chip in.

I only needed $10. So please don't send more money for the domain name.

I will work on refunding the $5 back to the two folks that chipped in $10 each. Thanks guys.

Excellent!

trust me, this will work. Rand needs money as soon as possible, this is going to be a tough fight. we need to get the message out

 

[newbitech]

alright well

this is what I am doing.

I am moving all content over to winrandwin.com

the theme is going to be your basic liberty/constitution theme, with a little Bowling Green, KY imagery sprinkled in. No mention of the birthday of the city tho, gonna focus on what is important and thats the message of liberty.

The date is going to stay March 6th which is a Saturday.



the quarter ends for the campaign on March 31st.

So if we want to do a final "money blitz" for the quarter, or w/e we could do that to, but with another site.

I need to get this finalized asap so that it has time to pick up steam.

any last minute objections to this plan?

please look over the content, because really that is what is going to set this off, as well as a few little specialties I have planned.

How about March 23d - When Patrick Henry made his "Give Me Liberty!" speech

 

[Austin]

I like the 23rd as well.

 

[Chieftain1776]

I like the 23rd as well.

Yeah, I've been thinking. I think Rand's campaign has most of it's money on hand to win the primary. All it really needs is good press coverage i.e. "Rand leads all AGAIN" or "Moneybomb raises $$$". So the later in the race the better as long as it's not into the next financial quarter. "March to Victory" or "March for Liberty" could be the theme.

 

[low preference guy]

Great suggestion! I support the 23rd. Too bad people already registered something, because it could've been givemeliberty.com. But it doesn't really matter.

 

[newbitech]

givemeliberty.com is already taken anyways.

so the site is mirrored now to

winrandwin.com

 

[newbitech]

ok so date change then.

the give me liberty speech works well for a broad liberty targeted theme as well. and I am sure we will have plenty of give me liberty type speeches from Rand.

 

[newbitech]

redirect in place, so now all links to randsmoneyblitz.com are pointing to winrandwin.com

Awesome!

OK I think we need to tweak the text if anyone wants to write a better copy

basically the text should be about what's happening on the day of the money bomb i.e our aim is to raise x amount by taking part in a mass donation and a bit of blurb about Rand other than that it's great

Also you shouldnt have to scroll far to get to the pledge, it should show right up and you put pictures below because from a user design point of you view you want them to just see it and pledge.

I agree we need an explanation of the moneybomb. I do think we need to make a case for donating to Rand thus the blurbs about his background.

I also like having a "What is a moneybomb?" blurb, à la Medina's moneybomb.

 

[itshappening]

Yeah basically like the sites trevor has done see www.runrandrun.com

basically you want to have it no more than halfway down, with no scroll and maybe a few sentences maximum rather than a long list, we can then put pictures and videos underneath for people to explore if they want to

Oh and the first "citizen-legislator" is amisspelledword

Also is there anyway to put the quotes side by side as opposed to having to scroll down?

 

[itshappening]

yeah we need the whole thing shortened and bumped up. Are there any designers out there that can make it more user friendly?
