[Dan Klaus]

it HAS to surpass the 6 million $ money bomb for it to be meaningful.

I don't completely disagree with that assessment, however the pledge is for $10...be happy to get 1 million...just hope the campaign spends it in time...

I hope so too.... but we're going to have to promote this much more!

I concur.

 

[Detonator]

7700+ pledges... I didn't pledge because of the "Email Subscription Request" thing. I wonder how many others didn't pledge because of this?
I'm giving as much as I can, probably $150.

People looking for $6M need to be realistic. This was a $10 "or more" pledge and we are just shy of 8000 pledges now. Dont get me wron, Id love to see a ton of money that day, but by predicting $6M or more, you are just setting us up to look bad.

 

[Jeremy]

But instead of saying we can't do it, let's actually work toward it and promote this thing like crazy!

 

[phoenixrising]

I'm only down for $25. Sorry gang but times are rough with 2 kids and FRN's not being worth what they used to be.

there is no judgement here on what people give.....the fact that the *greassroots* are doing the giving is what counts!!

i KNOW we all want this to go ballistic once again...& who knows where the final $$ amount will land yet WE need to keep publicizing it as the *amount of people speaking out* ...the people have spoken

I just hope people don't expect too much of this. I don't want to see a bunch of people quitting when this money bomb doesn't do what we want it to do.

 

[Jeremy]

how could someone rate this down to 4 stars? o.0

Nobody knows about MLK fundraiser

I think we should definitely not think of this in the same way we thought of the nov 5 and dec 16 money bombs. This started as a small-amount fundraiser, even as little as $10 per person if that's all we could afford--trying to get as many donors as possible was the goal--not a record shattering amount. Even a million dollars would be wonderful for the campaign and for morale. Even more important of a number will be the # of donors and # of new donors.

But I do think the people on the http://www.donate2008.org/, the http://teaparty07.com/, and the http://thisnovember5th.com/ mailing lists, should get a message like now (earlier is better) and early in the morning on Jan 21. As long as it is ONLY 2 EMAILS and no more, I don't see that anyone would object. They should make sure that there is an easy way to unsubscribe in that email--that also would make people feel a ton better about it.

As well as a bulletin to the myspace friends, a facebook alert, and an email from Bydlak.

Nobody on meetup http://ronpaul.meetup.com/, myspace http://myspace.com/ronpaul2008, and facebook http://facebook.com/profile.php?id=6233046685 knows.

I just made it an event (fundraiser--not "money bomb") for our meetup, and I am messaging about 5 meetups around me to do the same--but almost absolutely nobody in any of the meetups knows about the Jan 21st MLK fundraiser at http://freeatlast2008.com/

This is a huge problem and a huge, easy, oppurtunity.

What can we do to get the very important info to every meetup NOW--it has to be an EVENT--having messages about it is nowhere near good enough. Earlier is always way better. A banner and video on the myspace page would be great. I messaged the pagemaster of his myspace page.

 

[Jeremy]

Yes, this needs to be big.

- People wrongly accusing Paul of racism (even though he's probably the most anti-racist)
- Paul talked about this day in an interview
- It's an actual holiday which means people will know why we are donating and they will see that there is a cause.
