Reaching $23 million is going to be a breeze.

[ronpaul4pres]

We've been requested to raise $23 million. It's not too clear, but Kent suggests we need to do this in 6 weeks not 3 months! "Holy smokes!" was my initial reaction.

But, we can raise $23 million in 6 weeks - we just need a little organization.

There are 129,237 individual donors in Q4 (just click once on the right arrow on the flash object). Let's say over 3% are maxed out for a nice round 125,000 donors ready for the next 6 weeks.

If we divide $23 million by 125,000 donors, we each need to give $184 dollars. Divide that by the 6 week limit, and you get just over $30 per week. But, our base of donors keeps growing, so if we all donated $25 every Friday starting on Jan 4th, we'll make it just fine.

Who's with me?

I agree. Ron Paul payday every Friday.

 

[aspiringconstitutionalist]

Gosh, we could end up with $30m total for Q5. That'd be something else.

I think you're right.. The payday is the way to go.. everybody can afford $30 a week.. no problem

check the other forum post on this. i agree that people are far more energized for huge pushes rather than more interval bursts. is it for the excitement ? maybe... but it hink most of all its because of the impossibility of the task at hand that gets people to push.

i really think that one big weekend donation orgyfest style deliverance will be the most productive... say perhaps starting Fridaynight/Satmorning the 19/20th and ending at 11:59 on 21'st (coincides with MLK day money bomb already).

i personally think 30 a week makes the most sense, but its the hardest to organize, and the graphs are showing that the large support of RP donors arent really there. not to make the 22M mark anyway.

The guy who started the payday thing is going to have an avalanche of pledgers now. haha

We'd be in Hillary/Obama #'s then...wow.

We need the payday thing I think.. its like in the colonial days when they fired by rows at one time.. it kept up the sustained fire.. thats what we're doing in a fashion.

We cannot afford this any more. Doesn't everyone remember the campaign complaining about waiting until Dec 16th - thus Rudy's Reading List was born? They need constant money flowing in. With a small 6 weeks left, we don't have the time to wait.

The campaign needs constant money. Besides, we're talking about six $3+ million "money bombs". It'll be the first time in history a candidate got so many multi-million dollar money bombs. Our glory is not the money but getting Paul elected. Period.

If you support Ron Paul's Payday, please add a blurb and link to it in your forum signature (also email signature, if that would be relevant), as in:

But what if the tea party people think they've donated enough by donating once?

exactly , doesnt mean we cant also have ron paul payday...

if he does well in NH and Iowa(top 4) then that will motivate more people...

Valid point, but it should be more than likely to convince most everyone to spare $25-$30 each week for just the next 6 weeks. Let's not forget the amazing growth of donors we have.

Folks, some thoughts.

$30 payday every week (one of the suggestions). Only problem is the fee/charge for transaction, is this right?

Larger donation every other week (some do first and third and some do second and fourth)

If it looks as though we are not meeting the requirement, then we could still plan a bomb to boost the total.

Thoughts?

As I understand it, the credit card companies charge something like a $0.30 fee for all transactions plus 2% of the total amount. So, whether you donate $25 or $2,500, it doesn't make too much difference - the fees will be around 2% in both cases.

Who's with me?

I hope that's the case but I doubt $23 will be reached with the kind of ad they just released labeling other nationas as 'terrorist nations'. They are alienating some supporters unnecessarily.

Wow! I really didn't think it that big of an issue, but, apparently, it is.

Is there any denial that certain nations foster terrorism against us (either intentionally or not)? I think we can all agree about that. So, a "terrorist nation" label seems fair.

Of course, you and I both would like to see no such label applied to any nation. I feel Ron Paul is the best person to help lessen terrorism (at least against America) because he's the only one talking about the true causes (which means to say he's the only one who has solutions). Thus, he will help to remove at least some of those labels.

Agreed?
