Hello fellow RPF members,
There has been discussion on this forum between some people about what our next money bomb's theme should be.
A lot of ideas have been shouted out and in my opinion, some good, some not so good.
I think we need a strong theme, something that excites people and will circulate around the internet with power and influence.
That's where the themes up above come in.
Something's Happening; Something's Happening Here (SHH): This theme can be read two ways - something positive where the R3VOLution movement is gaining steam and people are jumping on board. People are waking up. Or, that Congressman Paul is being ignored again by the mainstream media. There is no doubt that we could make quite an effective ad campaign with this theme. The only drawback for me personally is that it overlaps with Black This Out. If anyone's reason for this theme is to expose the media angle, I would just say to them, "we might as well make BTO 2." Possible Date: TBD
American Spring: Have you been watching/reading any news for the the last 1 1/2 years? I don't need to get too in depth here. We all know what the Arab Spring is, so we know what is meant by the "American Spring" money bomb. Again, we can make this into a positive theme, similar to what Something's Happening could do, but without any confusion. The only drawback could be that a lot of GOPers could take this the wrong, as if we are pandering to the Middle East, which would be pathetic on their part. "Any idea whose time has come cannot be stopped by anyone, or any government." Possible Date: TBD
We Are Ron Paul: This theme/title is self-explanatory, Ron Paul is in all of us. Ron Paul isn't alone. We are all one, we (along with the idea) are a movement. There are quite a few YouTube videos out there where people are declaring this very theme, which would make it easier for all you video buffs to tweak and make into a promotional video. This would also be very easy to promote on Facebook, Twitter, and as I said, YouTube. Not to mention, we could use the Judge's quote of "He is one of us!" I think this is a solid theme, due to the title. My favorite part of it is that it's a positive theme. Possible Date: TBD
April Fools: This theme is a bit more complicated and is somewhat negative compared to the other ideas. This would be done on April 1, 2012 and would be based around the idea that the other candidates are all the same and Ron Paul is different. The centerpiece to this theme would be 'don't be fooled again.' This is a theme that a lot of people, I believe, could have a lot of fun with. The one part that is good about this is the potential for major media outlets to pick up on this, just like they did with BTO because it's about dissing the other candidates. The media loves drama. Drawback - again, it's more negative, although we could spin it to the positive. Date: Sunday, April 1st, 2012.
In my opinion, I would love for this money bomb to go positive. The fact is Ron Paul is gaining traction. If you haven't seen the Washington video on the front page of the forum, I suggest you do. Look at Dr. Paul's numbers in every state, he is doubling and tripling his support. He has become a phenomenon. This is why I would like to go positive. I think positive gets people excited and attracts new people. The economy is in the dump, we are involved in multiple wars, and we are extremely divided as a country. People want a person who brings something to the table. People want positivity. This is what we should focus on.
Also, I am not in favor of having a money bomb in March. To be honest, there isn't enough time. Someone wrote to me in another thread, talking about having a mini bomb before a money bomb. To put it differently, have a mini bomb in March that could reach between 250,000 - 500,000 dollars, followed up by a big one in early April. The truth is, if we were to have on in March, we wouldn't have enough time. If we agree on a theme within a couple of days, we really only have roughly 3 weeks to promote a money bomb, one that needs to be huge. "NOBP" was a fantastic theme, we just didn't have enough time to promote it. I say we take more time and get an awesome ad campaign out there and have a great day in April.
I feel as though I am leaving out one of the other ideas that have been floating around on the interwebs. If I remember it, I will surely put it up.
Let me know what you guys think.
