Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you so much for the hard work you are putting in for liberty, let it not be said that you did nothing. I was wondering if you would put up a banner advertising the Ron Paul iTunes Bomb on your website? It would be much appreciated.

The plan is to rocket Ron Paul to No. 1 in the itunes Christmas chart by dowloading en masse the movingly brilliant song “Bombs (The Ron Paul Song)” which has been made by the Ron Paul supporting Golden State band. The band have donated the song to RevPac, so all profits made go to them. You can read more about the initiative in this article on the RevPac website:

The official website:

http://itunesbomb.com/

The facebook page:

Also, you may want to browse the grassroots planning thread on the Ron Paul Forums:

I hope you will be happy to help our efforts by putting up a banner on your website, the banners link to the official website - http://itunesbomb.com/. You can access the banners through this link:

In liberty,

A fellow Ron Paul supporter

Okay just emails all the coalition bar about three which I couldn't find contact details for. Pheeew, that was surprisingly tiring doing that. Fingers crossed they'll get back to me and put up a banner on their site.

Parocks, now the name has been changed, are you ready to get fully behind this?

 

[parocks]

Yeah. But,You'll have to do better than that.
I've also heard of B S.

Listen. Before, the song did NOT contain Ron Paul in the title.
NOW, the song DOES contain Ron Paul in the title.

It's a philosophical argument about whether Golden State is trying to hype themselves. It doesn't really matter if they are or not.

This project involves getting "Ron Paul" on the itunes charts.

There are 8 Ron Paul songs on itunes. Most people are most excited currently about this song. This song, right now, has the chance to get "Ron Paul" on the itunes chart. And this is what the project is. I have another thread where other "Ron Paul" songs would go on the itunes charts as well. This song is the "point" song, the one that gets pushed onto the charts first.

I think it's a good thing to have "Ron Paul" on the charts. You should too.

 

[parocks]

Parocks, now the name has been changed, are you ready to get fully behind this?

Well, mostly. I don't know about "fully". For instance, tomorrow, tea party 11 Ron Paul moneybomb is priority 1.

But, yes, first I was "for" this, then I was "against" this, now I'm "for" this. Based entirely on what my disagreements were. I said the song needed to contain "Ron Paul". Now it does. So, I'm for this.

I'll make some recommendations.

These charts seem to run on 24 hour cycles. You might want to make note of that in your promotion of this. You might want to tell people that you have a 24 hour period where you want to really push hard to get the song on the charts. If you have 5000 people willing to buy the song over a week, you don't get on the charts. If those 5000 people all buy in the same 24 hour period, the song does get on the charts.

You get them to buy in that 24 hour period. And then you PUSH when it appears on the charts. You will want to have a fairly detailed idea of what you're going to want to do when the song does hit the charts. Remember also to look at the genre charts as well. The plan should include screencaps, etc. My own personal plan is to spring into action when I see the song on the charts and the hype that goes with it.

To this point, I really can't tell if this is something that 5 people care about, or 5000 people care about. Based on looking at this, http://goldenstateband.com/ Golden State's official website, and this https://www.facebook.com/GOLDENSTATEBAND it doesn't look like this is the top priority of Golden State. Which makes me think more highly of Golden State, but less highly of the eventual success of this project.

But that's not criticism. I'm not negative about this at this point.

Exactly. Economics is based on mutually beneficial exchanges, and this is just one of them.

Support Ron Paul. Support RevPac. Support the antiwar movement. Support this iTunes Bomb. Let's get to number one.

Please, please, please send Golden State an email about this, cabon-copy in RevPac and bcc in me (I'll PM you my email address). You seem to know what you're talking about.

This whole thing is all screwed up now because of a few people who tried to sabotage this promotion from the get go. Now you have two separate links to iTunes to purchase the song. One with Ron Paul in the title and the other without. The YouTube has the song listed with the old link and people are now going to promote the new link? So now there are going to be two separate sales tallies by iTunes with people buying from the old link and buying from the new link. Is iTunes going to combine the sales from both links to create one total in sales or separate? If they're separate, the song will never make the charts. This is what happens when you try to make one or two people happy to caress their egos. Rule of thumb. You can never make everyone happy. Goal is to make the majority happy.

Fix the problem by putting the link to the new song title.

Pretty simple.

 

[parocks]

its the same song so it should be combined. I don't know which link to promote.

Promote the link with "Ron Paul"

You really shouldn't have been making it easy to download the songs already, because some people might not wait.

If you get everyone to buy the song at the same time, the same minute, you have 24 hours to hype the fact that the song is on the charts.

 

[parocks]

Yep, I can entirely understand where you're coming from there.

No one needs to have me talking to Golden State about this. I know where they're coming from. They are probably thinking that they don't want to appear as 100% geeky Ron Paul fanboys. It's possible that the level of committment to Ron Paul within the band varies from member to member. At least they uploaded a song with "Ron Paul" in the title.

You, certainly, have been emailing them.

If it was me, and the goal was to get this song on the charts on Christmas, December 25, I would start later, and I wouldn't overlap with tea party.

I would set a specific time, probably. That would increase the likelihood that the song gets on the charts, and stays on the charts. If everyone bought the song at, 9pm EST, on maybe 12/23, the song would get on the charts immediately, if the numbers were there. You anticipate that, and hype the fact that the song IS on the charts, with screen captures. That would mean a lot of hype on 12/24. And hopefully that hype works. Perhaps the hype is so successful that the campaign makes note of it and sends out a facebook or an email including that "Merry Christmas, and by the way, Bombs (The Ron Paul Song) is on the itunes charts, you might want to buy that.

I would set a specific time, talk to Golden State about that. They send out an email at that time telling them that the time to buy that song is RIGHT NOW, and they'll be able to drive the sales up with that.

Having this be a week long is going to dilute sales across the entire week, jeopardizing the ability to get the song on the chart at all.

No really, I implore you to get in contact with Golden State and RevPac via email. Your knowledge and advice on this matter is invaluable, please please please lay them out to RevPac and Golden State. It's crucial that you do.

Went to go on itunes to buy the song and I get this message:

Your request could not be completed.

The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. Store.


Anyone know what thats about?

 

[Crotale]

So far I have heard back from Ron Paul Country and Ron Paul Myths.

By the way, I think it would be appropriate for www.itunesbomb.com to link to the sites which host banners about hte itunes bomb. We need a "coalition" page like the tea party moneybomb.

 

[Nirvikalpa]

Guys, don't direct the ronpaul sites to the freewebs (ronpaulitunes.webs.com) website, is there a way to just send them a code? Or, upload the entire webpage I submitted to the actual itunesbomb.com website, and direct them there? <-- best thing to do. This would enable a page to be added like "Banners," and let people add it themselves...

Freewebs is crap, I just needed somewhere to test the code and show how it would look.

EDIT: Who owns itunesbomb.com? I can make a page for it, if I have the log-in info. It could go under the 'How You Can Help' link, or on the front page itself...

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

wow

 

[SpiritOf1776_J4]

Aimee Allen's song was actually about Ron Paul.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

please list the video on iTunes. I want this video on my iPad when I don't have a signal.
