RON PAUL POWER HOUR!!!!

Hey I think I have a really awesome idea that needs to get to the top and if nothing else get some consideration.

I am was watching the totals on the MLK money bomb and they are fell a shade flat compared to the others.

Here is what I think: What were we trying to do with the money bomb days to begin with? Build the excitement right? Breaking records was a huge part of that. Alot of people were having a blast watching the Ron Paul donation graph SPIKE at midnight on the TeaParty money bomb day. I know I was tuned in before then and waiting just to see what would happen. And it was great to be a part of moving that total up in RECORD amounts. BREAKING RECORDS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!

So, whats changed? Well it has been done before now. A few times even. Six Million was a huge goal and it was tough. And we did it. Just like we had already done once before. The MLK was the most recent in I dont know how many money bombs we have had. I wonder if people have fallen a little flat from the repetition of it all?

What would like to propose (to someone who can get it DONE) is that we do a RON PAUL POWER HOUR! Its fresh, its exciting, fun. Think about how awesome it would have been to see even half of the donations on a money bomb day to have been DONATED IN A SINGLE HOUR! We could do that I think!

I GUARANTEE WE COULD SHATTER RECORDS and draw MEDIA attention again. Wasnt there like more than one million dollars donated in the first hour of the Tea Party anyway? Why not see if we could clear THREE MILLION in an hour just for fun and the record books? Maybe there could be some kind of play on numbers too having to do with the hour we set, the goal to be raised, and something having to do with freedom or the race or something. I think it would work. After all, the money we raised last time had practically been raised before the money bomb day itself even started. It was hardly a race against the clock. This could almost be and it would MAKE THE MONEY BOMB NEW AGAIN for it!

We are the tops of the candidates supporters exactly because we are so organized. It defines us. Lets use it. Again, as we have done before, the donation pledges can be signed-- so that basically the fundraising is done in the days and weeks before the POWER HOUR. Then all there is for us to do is donate at the designated time-- then its just 60 minutes to the record books :~)

THIS WOULD BE SUCH A STATEMENT TO MAKE NOW IN THE FACE OF MEDIA STORIES ABOUT ALL THE CANDIDATES GOING BROKE!!!

So does you have any connections to the guys who did the last Tea Party or Nov 5th money bomb? I really think this is something that I would like to run past them.

Appreciate any help/ contact info you could give me,

I think this is a fantastic idea.

Forget having them say 'in a day'... they'd need to say 'in an hour'.

Even if only a million comes in, it's all sorts of rad.
 
Ron Paul raised 2 million dollars in a single hour today. Amazing, amazing...

The next logical step is to raise a million in a minute :D
 
So. We need to actually move on this.

This means we need to come to some level of agreement without letting infighting or trolls create division.

If this is a go, lets pick an hour NOW and then start promoting it.
 
Sure, we can test out the servers. We almost crashed them towards midnight on the 16th
 
What hour would be best? 9-10 EST, translating to 6-7 PST? Not too late on the east coast so people would still be awake, not too early on the west coast so people will be getting home from work...
 
Half a million in an hour is doable. We were close to that in the first two hours of one of the money bombs.

If people knew the limit was an hour, we can do it.. The only question is can the website servers take such an attack that it wouldn't break down.
 
How about...

The Sixty Minutemen Money Bomb

The perfect date symbolwise might be April 18th (Paul Revere's Midnight Ride) but that might be too late? So perhaps it should be sooner.

Actually, we could play off of that by doing midnight to 1 am PST, playing off the Midnight Ride.

The Midnight Ride of Ron Paul Revere Money Bomb?

Thoughts?
 
Great Idea! Could you imagine watching the ticker jumping up tens, or even hundreds of thousands each update?

If it works this will have to be remembered as the best first post ever.

I think I actually stated it was too late in my post, but thanks!
 
You know why we come in fifth in all these primaries? Cos we waste all of our time coming up with new money bomb ideas and we don't canvass. Seriously, it's like everyone thinks they have the NEXT BEST IDEA EVER!

Guess what? We set a new fundraising record. The media doesn't care. They've shown time and time again they don't give a fuck about our moneybombs, or our blimps, or whatever.

Poll numbers talk, bullshit walks. No one on these damn boards wants to just go out and do the hard work, they all just wanna come up with new fancy ideas for campaigning.

Frustrating really.
 
January 30, 1948- Gahndi is assassinated. How about we do a power hour commemorating this?
