November 11, Veteran's Day Money Bomb (let's stand united! and get to work!)

[Chainspell]

Let's all stand together on this. It's just a name anyway... I have researched some styles that I'm gonna use for the next money bomb video. And it came to me... whatever video I make about this money bomb I can just slap whatever title I want and the message is still the same... The message is still bring the troops home/support the troops/end the wars/vets for ron paul. So we can promote it however we want.. we can promote it saying:

"Support Our Troops"
"Veterans for Ron Paul"
"End the Wars"
"Bring Them Home"

so why can't we have a sub-section on the site that supports each theme. they're all relevant issues... and on each issue we put different facts and persuasion related to that issue. (click image to enlarge) notice the buttons beside "home" has a link to all the sub-sections.












then have a direct URL link to those pages so people who want to promote a particular theme like say veterans they can use the URL bringthemhome.com/veterans or veterans.bringthemhome.com and it will all land on the same website... but still show info that pertains to their issues.

okay it's been a long day for me, many sleepless nights and rl problems lol. so I hope we can agree on something soon because these things (site development, printing flyers, video production, promotion, advertising, facebook invitations, etc etc.) these don't just pop-up overnight... we need to work on them now..

I like the website design.

Take the reigns. Do it.

People will follow.

I recommend having a prominent place on the website for pledges.

I also recommend a place for a counter on the cost of wars.

Also, the place where you make the pledge needs to be on each page. Need a Facebook page, and a Twitter account.

Btw, the background image for End These Wars gets two thumbs up.

I am actually opposed to having a Facebook event, as we can't easily contact the people who join it. If we had the emails of all those people who had joined the BTO Facebook event, it would be a very large email contact list for this money bomb.

Also, something irks me about saying it is Ron Paul's, because it isn't. It is the grassroots doing it.

I will also say that whoever runs the Facebook and Twitter needs to be very active.

I think we should try to utilize Google Plus.

I will make my larger donation on the 11th but I will make a small donation on the 5th.

Excellent points OP!

It's time to get to work on this. This (genera of) themes is the most important of any moneybomb theme yet.

Chainspell, what needs to happen to get this moving?

I will also say that vetsforpaul is misleading because I and most other Ron Paul supporters are not Veterans. Honestly, it sounds like an organization of Veterans that support Ron Paul, not a moneybomb.

Well, I think that Gage was telling you that he was doing it. And that he and Dusman are working together, and everything is hunky dory.

However, I personally agree that different people can use different URLs to get to different pages in a site. I think that's a good idea, and I think it's something
that dusman and Gage and maybe justinpagewood can work on.

I've suggested a few different domain names.

If Gage and Dusman work together then we'll have another awesome site. The BTO website was amazing and I think that really motivated people to donate, but the theme of it was the most important factor. I think we should really play up the military donations aspect for this moneybomb. There are some really nice graphics out there about military donations to Ron, the more the better! I also think we should make a conscious effort to portay Ron as the strongest candidate on national defense. To most people he comes off as liberal and weak on national defense. We have an opportunity with this moneybomb to portray him as the strongest national defense candidate. We can out-hawk the hawks.

p.s. Ron Paul Moneybomb HQ can create its own press by making press releases...

So how much are we aiming for this money bomb?

So how much are we aiming for this money bomb?

How about a goal of 1.1 million, to go with the 11.11.11 date?

Seems reasonable. Especially because it's pretty close to Black This Out. I'm all for it and will be donating.

 

[lucent]

You need to aim high.

I would set the pledge for $100 as well.
