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

I'm stepping away from this thread and focusing on making videos. A decision was made as to who will be in-charge of this money bomb now, and I believe that's Gage.

I will have a video ready probably in a week or so, not sure yet what the main theme is.

-good luck to all of you :)

Did you read my post about this? It's just a couple posts back. If Gage is going to head this thing up then he needs to be here on the forum communicating with us like Dusman did for BTO or this thing is going nowhere fast. We need clear communication so that we can express our ideas and get them implemented. We don't have a lot of time left to promote this and we're starting from scratch.

It's "SUPPORT THEM NOW" Money Bomb now? Sounds funny, I rather it go back to Veterans Day Money Bomb. "END the WARS" sounds good too.
 
Not sure if the work is done and the name is set but this in my opinion:

What do the troops want to hear more than anything else? ..... "WELCOME HOME!"


That's what the Vietnam Vets NEVER got ... a Welcome Home. To this day when I meet a Vietnam Vet I say "welcome home" he may have been back state side for four decades but he knows exactly what I mean.

WELCOME HOME! Means several things: The hostilities are over, our fighters have done their duty .... welcome them home.
A grateful nation welcomes back service members with open arms of love and acceptance.
The process of bringing troops home and recognizing their sacrifice is an ending, and ending both troops and Ron Paul supporters desire.
At this point there are many in govt., the military, and general population that are just looking for a way to declare victory and come home. I think this could be the message of the Nov. 11th money bomb.



.... WELCOME HOME ....

The main problem I see here is that there is ABSOLUTELY NO COMMUNICATION between the people running the event and the grassroots. I have no idea who's in charge. I know Gage made the website and the Facebook event, but he doesn't post on this forum to keep us updated of anything that's going on. We have no idea what he's planning. I have no idea if Dusman is involved with this either. He hasn't been posting. Is he working with Gage or not? And is Chainspell here working with them also, or did he just create this idea thread?.

It seems to me that YOU should be running it. You and ItsTime were the main drivers for the last bomb. Pick someone to put up the website and lets's get going. dusman has been posting, he needs to either make a functional website or give all the work from the last one to whoever is putting up the new one.

Love him or hate him, this is what Trevor contributed in '07-'08. He always stepped up and got things done, especially when it came to getting the ball rolling.

Also, all you coders out there, how about some tools for automating invitations? We had some last time so that we could mass invite people on facebook and myspace, Anyone good with those APIs? Here's some inspiration:

http://www.therobert.org/rp/fb/tp/index.php

Look around that site. That's how we mass invited people last time, plus we messaged them again on the day of the bomb. Is it possible anymore?

You all know facebook was a big FAIL this time around. No telling how many of the people we slaved around inviting tediously even got a notification because if they're like me they have most of their notifications TURNED OFF. We need to either get around that somehow or forget about using facebook.
 
This is a mess. The last thread I saw the VetsForPaul.com site and thought that was the one. Everytime I come back, there's a new site, a new name and a new thread.

First things first, ask the moderator to consolidate these threads and scrap the duplicates. Whoever starts the thread needs to keep their initial post updated and current so we can all have the correct info. Who wants to do this?

So now VetsForPaul (gage) is stepping down? or is he the other new site that I'll never remember the name of... I'm so confused now.

The only thing wrong with VetsForPaul was that the form didn't work. The logo worked, the theme worked, the message was right. There were creatives made, and now the new site is the same thing with a worse logo.

Dusman, everybody here, including me, wants to know what you're on board with. You're the man for this and we need some direction. Do you have the time to take this on? I don't blame you if you're exhausted from BTO, you did an awesome job on it and probably stayed up for 2 weeks straight.... Please PM me if you can.

Let's not let this one slip by us.
 
Not any real mess. Taking it to the public forum threads would have dragged this out much longer.


We are using www.SupportThemNow.com as the theme to push behind. Had it pointed to proper nameservers last night.

Dusman, Chainspell, Gage, and I were originally torn on the theme to use.

BringThemHome11.com, VetsForPaul.com, SupportTheTroops2011.com, HeServed.com were talked about but shot down for various reasons.

We wanted something that brings in as many visitors as possible.

Gage has the basic pledge/facebook scripts up. I'd like to see us rework some of the text, graphics, banners.

Gage told me that he was going to let Dusman get his scripts on the site.

Chainspell is working on a video. Sorry for the confusion.


We've got a domain and facebook event for you to push if you'd like to help!
 
When we organize for this bomb, we need to set up the transition to the next bomb right away so this doesn't happen again. Wasn't the idea supposed to be that the BTO site was reusable, with just design changes? Does someone want to step up as the MoneyBomb King or something and just be in charge for the whole campaign so we don't get this big lag in between bombs?

The BTO moneybomb was extended and pushed through Friday.

Saturday I started to see the formation of the forums rejecting the VetsForPaul.com site.

Changes were made to accommodate over the last three days.

We have a better domain to push.

I'm doing my best to herd a bunch of cats. :o
 
Alright, it looks as though everything is set. The site is up, the facebook event has around 1,000 attending, and videos are being made.

Let's get promoting!

What domain is it? We need to get it all in one thread, like the on Sentinelrv made for the BTO bomb, and kept updated so everyone knew exactly what was happening.

Sentinelrv, are you stepping up for this bomb? We need someone to run the main push thread.
 
Any chance that little graphic at the bottom of the page can be enlarged and moved to a more prominent location? Otherwise a lot of people aren't going to understand how we're supporting the troops by pushing an anti-war candidate, and the neocons are going to have a party all over our butts.
 
Thanks FT. Lots of others working behind the scenes!

The people in this thread are upset because they care.

We've gone over some uncharted waters, but it should be relatively smooth sailing from here out.

Do what you all do best!

www.SupportThemNow.com

Agreed, I'll make a dedicated subforum shortly for the push.
 
The site looks great. Does anybody have any ideas about what we can do to our facebook pics to get people interested? I know that having the black bars across my eyes got a lot of people clicking on my picture and I had the BTO website URL typed into the description.
 
The name used doesn't matter all that much, and the more websites the better. Just get the 11/11/11 date right, and make sure everyone knows to go to RonPaul2012.com to donate.

And stop using Facebook.

I approve the domain. It is more demanding than just "Support The Troops" and appeals to a broader base than "Bring Them Home"

The ad with the soldier and pie chart should be front and center for this imo. :)
