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

[Occam's Banana]

For a great metaphor/symbolism, I'm really liking July 9th. From another thread (emphasis mine):

I was kinda just throwing the july 9th date out there, but i like it the more i think about it. We'll have the entire july 4th period to hit up any large patriotic events and spread the word about the money bomb. It's just long enough away to start hyping it and getting everyone to save money, it's on a saturday (day after pay day). No one in the media will know why we chose july 9th. So when Wolf Blitzer asks "Dr.Paul Why did your supporters choose this day of all days to break the records?" He could say that it was on this day in 1776 that Washington ordered the Declaration read to his men to fire them up and now it's time for us to spread the message of independence to the troops once again!

Who cares about the quarter fundraising numbers. Ron Paul will likely post a pretty big pull anyways. I say we should be practical about this and make it early to mid July, maybe July 11. Less than two months doesn't give us much time to plan and promote. If we rush these we will have some pretty weak moneybombs that only get negative attention. And also think about who a lot of supporters are: college students, middle class families...We aren't a bunch of insanely wealthy supporters that can drop 30k a plate at some fancy fundraiser. A lot of us make small donations.

Also, we should definitely get some coordination with the campaign going. They could tell us if they absolutely need another moneybomb sooner rather than later to buy important stuff especially for Iowa. I don't know how much presidential campaigns actually spend, or can spend in these next few months. Anyways, I think early to mid July would be perfect. Larger amounts and less frequently is better than smaller amounts and more frequently.

July 2nd or July 4th. I would say July 2nd because we have the website and i truly believe that if we start now and make banners and road signs and start hanging up stuff on over passes with zip ties and spread it online like we did for November 5th and December 16th, we could make a wild fire of a money bomb that could bring in well over 5 million dollars. We need to start making these signs now, and the youtube videos now so that come July 2nd we know that 2 or 3 million will be a given and we will be hoping for 4 of 5 million, instead of hoping for one mil like we did for Debate day. Unlike the president's day money bomb and the debate day money bomb this money bomb should be promoted on the streets as much as it is online.

I like end of June for q2 numbers, those are always discussed in the media. I also like early July 2nd or 4th.

Could this be a 2 day money bomb that starts on the 4th and ends on the 5th? That way all the distractions of the holiday are gone and on the 5th people get back to the office and they r in the middle of a money bomb? Where does it say a MB has to be 24hrs?

We could still use the independence day theme. And yet all the cons of it during a holiday are eliminated.

Just thinking outside the box...
