ABSOLUTELY NOT!
That would completely wreck any hope of Ron Paul breaking more records when it comes to the amount of money made on a single day!

I think we're getting too clever for our own good. As a marketer, I think it's a huge mistake to put the brakes on www.teaparty07.com. There are already reporters with this URL. It's already gone viral.
This is making us look very unorganized. We can still have the rally, but IMO, we should stick to www.teaparty07.com.

How about a re-enactment of the original event - throwing wooden barrels into the river that say things like NO IRS! NO TAXES! etc...maybe a boat in the Harbor that says Vote for Ron Paul?
Is there any way we can do a range of pledges?
perhaps $25 $50 and $100 increments? that would make it easier for more people to get involved.
The Boston Tea Party is not like a little girls tea party - it was a revolt against taxes and was referred to as a "tea party" much like our little donation day was referred to as a "money bomb" - y'all need to study your history more!
People, here is the deal ( and this is my business in Hollywood, so listen up...) when Ron Paul raises 10M dollars on the 16th December at the tea party site, IT'S ALL OVER for everyone else..DO YOU UNDERSTAND? All over. Forget everything else, Taco John is exactly right, there is only one job left to do to get RP into the nomination slot...Raise 10m on Dec 16th. IGNORE everything else. If you guys raise him that money you will create a new paradigm in the US election. He will be far and away the front runner and the debate in IOWA will be a complete non issue.
Get this simplicity: DUPLICATE your success yesterday with another extra 30,000 donors, or more, you will easily hit 10m and cause a Tsunami in world media attention.
It's over, just get your man the money..

As much as I would prefer a more mysterious website name - it would hurt the effort more to change now.
I also agree fully that a SINGLE day event has MUCH more impact than a weekend event.
Guys: It's simple:
1) Let the guys who made History yesterday advise on this..
2) DUPLICATE yesterday.
3) SINGLE focus, one day, one event, let's make History..
4) Make absolutely sure the servers and infrastructure will handle the load at RonPaul2008..
5) Follow the same structure as yesterday..
6) Make it simple, simple, simple. The web site name is teaparty07.com..it's all ready all over the media, get used to it...
7) Start the promo 21 days out...
8) Be proud when you raise him 10m and create a new paradigm in the USA..
Now follow the lead of Taco man and focus on this.
If you do this, our man wins. Everything else is a sideshow.
We have to pick the areas where we can have the biggest impact.
This is it.
God, when you raise him 10 M in a day, other countries will start supporting him...
There will never be another opportunity like Dec 16th again, it's prove, it's big symbology and it's acheivable.
Get the guys from the 5th and get this going....ASAP. There is nothing else to debate.

By the way, a rally will distract from the fundraising and splits the focus.
Think LASER BEAM and not FLASHLIGHT.
Duplicate yesterday...
If this doesn't get up and straight within a week I'm going to have our Hollywood guys start to organize with the PROVEN winners from yesterday. It's a no brainer.
Focus, focus, focus guys.
Follow Taco on this..he's dead right.

Just to add a few thoughts to the cacophony here:
1) A single day event is much more powerful than a weekend. And, breaking the single day fundraising record should be a goal.
2) A weekday fundraising event is better than a weekend. Many people are away from computers, the news is less prevalent, etc. on saturdays / sundays.
3) Should we consider bumping the date to a weekday, such as Thursday December 13th? The original Tea Party happened on Thursday Dec. 16 1773, but the 16th this year falls on a Sunday, which is not a great fundraising day. I think mirroring the exact historical date is irrelevant.
4) Switching away from teaparty07.com at this point would be a mistake. It's not perfect, but let's get behind it...
Honestly, whoever owns this idea and came up with the concept needs to find a web / art design volunteer and knock out the details. We'll get behind the concept, regardless of the details!

I was the guy who recently started the noise on the dailypaul about this idea, so i just want to add my opinion on some matters.
First, from browsing this thread, I definitely am concerned we are becoming TOO creative for our own good. Simplicity is the best avenue. The more creative and thus more complex we become the more we begin to lose ourselves within our own creativity. Our goal with our work must just be the message and helping that message. We can't let our creativity subvert the message.
Two, as for the website for this event, i think we make a huge mistake if it has any connection to guy fawkes day. I personally was on the fence about nov 5th, but it made sense because it represented change. But that is as far as it goes. The Boston Tea Party is on a whole other level way above November 5th. It must be a separate event. We should not have any connection, whether it is the poem, the website, or whatever. As for the name of the website, I believe teaparty07.com is the best name. The day is more than just a date. it is not just about the 16th. November 5th was a loose association. The Boston Tea Party we can embrace. The event is not just about the general theme of change, which is what Novemeber 5th represented. The BTP we can connect to on various levels (i.e. OUR history, our OWN discontent, Paul's philosophy, etc).
Three, I really don't think it matters that the 16th is a Sunday. Let's have a little faith in ourselves and others. People will make a point to participate if they are willing to in the first place. And it is less meaningful if it is not on the exact day. Just keep it on the 16th. In addition, a one day event is much more powerful as we are seeing from the media coverage. I mean if nothing else, if we raise more than we did Monday that would really make a tremendous amount of noise with the media. And pratically speaking, people will not have to really think about the date. They will just have to remember donate on Boston Tea Party.
All in all, let's not have any associations with November 5th and lets embrace the BTP as much as possible. The name teaparty07 is perfect I think or at least if we change it, it should be something descriptive of the event and not just the day.

I absolutely agree with you. Lets get this going!
Here are some slogan ideas people can use for promoting this if you like any of them:
The 2nd LiberTea Party
Throwing Out Tea Lit the American Revolution
Remembering LiberTea Lit the Ron Paul Re[evol]ution
(Obviously this one lol)
Remember, remember, the 16th of December
(I see no reason not to use that, it sounds cool and people will remember it from our last fundraiser too)
They Taxed the Tea; We Cried "Liberty!"
They Tax Unconstitutionally; Again We Cry "Liberty!"
They Taxed the Tea; We Cried "Liberty!"
They Tax with Unequality; Again we cry "Liberty!"
They said "For a cup of tea, give up they will their liberty"
They say "For a little security, give up they will their liberty"
(thats my favorite probably, someone needs to use this one lol!)
Two by two they descended to dump the tea,
Two by two the dollars rebuild our liberty!
The King he cried "You need our tea!"
But we chose liberty
The government it cries "You need security!"
But we choose liberty
I know like every one of those just use tea and liberty again and again but they get the point across lol. If anyone wants to use that in a youtube video or something feel free.

teaparty07 is already established, let's just go with it. we bickered over the meaning of the fifth, there's no need to bicker over a domain name
Alright. after going through the thread again I see we'll be using teaparty07.com. It's a good idea not to change it. I'm all for teaparty07.com. (although i like rememberthisdecember/decembertoremember/rememberdecember16 because it rhymes )
The more I think about it the more I decide that the federal government was just like motherland britain.

No!
One, can't we trust people? Can't we trust that we don't have to worry about the drive for november 5th not spilling over to this new event? People will take care of their own. We don't have to worry about making some sort of connection our of fear that we cannot reproduce yesterday's showing. That's erroneous. Trust people.
Two, the reason we really should not continue along the same lines is that this new event is simply not along the same lines. The Boston Tea Party is a different event in history and it is an AMERICAN event during the AMERICAN REVOLUTION. It is inherently not along the same lines and it's disrespecting the whole thing by trying to continue along the same lines. I beg us not to infuse some non-American event into it because of we feel it'll be a good gimmick to bring the crowd along. I mean just taking myself as an example, I would be somewhat insulted if we were to do something like this. I feel more connection with some event in American history than some cultural event that occurs in Britain.
I say...Embrace the Tea!!

teaparty07 is good with me.
SOMEBODY GET THE SITE UP AND RUNNING OFFICIALLY!! I'm really excited to participate again and we need to get this started as soon as possible. The longer the site is up, the better.
Keep it simple, but make it strong. Let's get moving though. Sounds like there's web designers and people ready and willing to get on this. Do we want Trevor doing this one again or somebody else? Who's designing what? Let's get as organized as a grassroots effort can...but not too organized cause that loses part of the mystique, lol.
By the way, I plan on making a youtube video for this as soon as we get a site up that looks good where people can actually sign up for real.
