Should we have another Moneybomb, and if so, when?

[LibertyForAll]

Give it some time to see how it plays out in Iowa and New Hampshire....then we can decide if another moneybomb is needed...right now it's premature....in the meantime we can all focus on other ways to promote the campaign...working on getting the message out even more would be a good focus right now...the money is taken care of for the time being.

 

[Lacrosseus]

theres already one scheduled for presidents day

I have heard about several -- 12/31 and 1/1 and another -- possibly the president's day date. One reason I thought a poll would be a good idea. If the grassroots wants to do this again -- we should pick ONE from the above, or a new one, and support that as a group.

Ok, but what about the Feb 5 primaries... Dies the campaign have the money that will be needed to campaign effectively in these states?

If not, and the campaign needs new money sooner than later so they can better plan, then would a money bomb in the first half of January be of value to pump the system with money -- even if we are not trying to make news with a big money day?

Roe vs. Wade is the worst idea. You dont create a fundraiser based on such a divisive and non-central idea. This is about America, not about the merits of abortion.

We need to take this momentum, continue to grow, allow people to recover financially, allow time for more people to come aboard, and THEN set up another fundraiser. But I would suggest at least one month.

And now I will announce my strong suggestion that the next fundraising event be scheduled Feb. 1st.

President Harry Truman signs the bill proclaiming February 1 as National Freedom Day, June 30, 1948

This is a no brainer!!!

Sittin pretty for the primaries I think. Let's take a breather on the money bombs, and focus on other attention getting grassroots initiatives.

Double up our work on canvassing, make sure you talk to everyone you know IRL about the situation with the US and the last chance we have with Ron Paul.

We got money, let's work on the votes part of the equation.

 

[trueg]

No more moneybombs. They have been done to death. It's time to find other ways to be creative.

I'm not sure if we really need another money bomb. I think getting the message out and hitting the streets is more important now that he has all this money in the bank. But if we do have another money bomb I agree with silus. Not only is February 1st enough time to get the event organized, but it's FREEDOM DAY. How is that not perfect? If we have another money bomb I vote Feb 1st.

I think people are too exhausted to answer this question.

 

[saahmed]

No. Focus your attention on getting out the vote and other grassroots efforts such as this: operationnh.com.

 

[Andrew-Austin]

After the national advertisements take effect, is when we should. Not even soon afterwords... aways afterwords..

 

[Mckarnin]

What do you think, are money bombs worth the effort and if so, when should the next grassroots effort supported moneybomb take place?

Ron Paul R[evol]ution-Love of Liberty Valentines Money bomb.

 

[gold standard]

If they go on Jan 1 are they going to call it a New Years's revolution? It has kind of a ring to it. I would let donations flow in for a few days before promoting anything.

Ron Paul R[evol]ution-Love of Liberty Valentines Money bomb.

Do you blimp people ever sleep?

 

[pickfair]

There's already a site up for the New Year's Eve bomb. You don't have to participate, but I'm definitely donating. I was a first time donor for the Tea Party and you gotta give us newbies a chance!!

 

[AlexK]

I'm for the New Year's money bomb. It makes sense to push this quarter's fundraising as high as we can.

 

[Mithridates]

It's important to remember that the campaign is always receiving new blood, and that there is no fixed number of people to draw from when having a money bomb.

Or to look at it another way, imagine that up until yesterday you were disillusioned with politics and never bothered to vote. Then suddenly you notice a YouTube video of Ron Paul, do a bit more research and find out that there's a money bomb today. You watch it and, wow! How impressive! Now you want to donate too. There are definitely a lot of people like that, considering Ron Paul still has low name recognition but one that is growing by the day.

I expect there will be a push near the end of the quarter just because, and there'll probably be another day if somebody like Huckabee has a donation day that we could beat, like that one on November 20th.

I do agree that it'll probably be a better idea to focus on the primaries though. Maybe new supporters could be directed to more focused projects, like chipins for newspaper ads and billboards and whatnot.

Hi! Yeah, you were exactly the type of person I was thinking of when I wrote that last post. There's always new blood.

 

[francioshouse]

We should still have money bombs but not the huge ones. Lets have smaller more frequent bombs. Visit Ron Paul Regional Money Bomb for more info.

The moneybomb concept has been exhausted, the media is now innoculated against it. It's like that Geist bozo from MSNBC said: "This story is old. Ron Paul is money. What else is new?"

We need a new gimmick that the media can not resist covering. The blimp was just such a good idea. We need more creative out-of-the-box ideas like that can help us use the media as a force multiplier.

I'd like to see more aggressive grassroots support from current and retired military for Paul. That's the kind of thing the media will eat up. I'm not sure exactly how we can manage that, but we know that Paul has fans in the military. We need to harness their authority on the war.

Star power endorsements wouldn't hurt either.

Hmm, an interesting idea might involve leveraging the international support, though this might backfire. But what if international fans of RP coordinated some world wide event? I think this could be an interesting angle for a Paul TV commercial. Something showing regular Americans, and foreign citizens coming together to support Paul.

no more money bombs. Just donate when you can.

Absolutely. Always best to leave on a high, unbeatable note. Start something new to get MSM's attention. Another moneybomb will just be anticlimactic after today.
