So...July 4th? Next Moneybomb date suggestions/planning thread

[mport1]

July 4th is probably good. I think it should be tied with bringing the troops home.

 

[The Dark Knight]

I think either date is good, but I gotta go with July 4th

 

[Nate-ForLiberty]

July 4th at the earliest.

 

[mport1]

On second thought July 4th may not be good since people will be out and not by their computers.

 

[jkr]

1st one in for July second.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Independence Day Money Bomb FTW.

People said the same thing about 16 December 2007 ($6,000,000 Tea Party Money Bomb), that it was a Sunday, right before Christmas, nobody would be around because of the weekend timing, everybody would be shopping for presents, nobody would be looking to donate to a campaign.

We all know what happened next.

Absolutely.

Plus, Ron raising a ton of money on the 4th of July will put him in a positive, patriotic light for the rest of the campaign. Everytime they mention it on TV it will be "Ron Paul, the candidate who raised $4 million dollars on the 4th of July". Positive branding that we could definitely use.

Or people will have the day off and can donate at any time instead of having work getting in the way.

I wonder if BRING THE TROOPS HOME money bomb is better suited for the General Election now.

July 21st -- the anniversary of the moon landing. Call it "Shoot the Moon", and put Ron Paul's campaign in orbit.

June 5th is way, way too soon. One of the reasons today's moneybomb was modest was because we only had a few weeks to plan.

July 4th will have too many people away from home, and there isn't any news coverage.

June 30th would be good, but an end-of-quarter moneybomb should be on June 29th, so West Coasters can get in and the campaign can add everything up. Make the June 29th (?) event for big donors, so it takes fewer people. How about $2500 on 6/25? Make the July 21st money bomb for $100.

The campaign needs money for Iowa. Having a late-July money bomb is not good for spending money in Iowa. Somewhere around the end of June or beginning of July is the best in my opinion.

 

[dbill27]

Whenever we plan it for, we need to start working on it right away. This one was just started to pick up steam the last week or so. Will the admins of the facebook page for the debateday bomb be able to send out rsvps for the next one when it's up?

 

[hazek]

IMO both June 5th and July 4th are too soon and not enough time will pass to prepare and get enough people motivated to hold a really big one.

 

[K466]

Something before the end of the quarter. I'm worried June 5th is too soon. If June 5th sticks let's have a reasonable goal of $500K. And perhaps another mini-moneybomb of $500K on June 30th.

 

[Paul4Prez]

July 21st. Shoot the Moon -- let's go for the record, and make a BIG splash before the Iowa straw poll.
The publicity from a BIG money bomb will be worth more than raising a smaller one in time to spend it in Iowa.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Absolutely.

I like that a LOT!

"$4 Million For Freedom on the Fourth!!!!"

 

[teacherone]

let's do money bombs for every debate.

 

[Maximus]

What about 7/11? It's catchy

I also like shoot for the moon

 

[thehighwaymanq]

When does Q1 end and Q2 start?

 

[Gage]

No.
