TeaParty07.com - Dec 16th Money Bomb - Ron Paul Tea Party

[Ozwest]

A suggestion (probably sucks)... When the committee headed towards the wharf, they murmered "Let every man do his duty, and be true to his country"... What if you used the phrase "Let every man do his duty". My 2 cents.

To illustrate what I was talking about - I whipped this up a few minutes ago - still very crude, but gets the idea across that I was talking about...

234 years ago...

In 1773 in the harbor at the City of Boston
45 tons of tea were dumped overboard in protest.

On that 16th day of the
12th month the band of patriots on those
3 ships sparked a revolution that led to
1 great country.

On the 16th day of this
12th month a new band of patriots hope to raise
8 million dollars for the Ron Paul Campaign and spark a new
R3volution where the individual is once again treated as
1 who can make a difference.

"Let every man do his duty, and be true to his country"

We need a hook.

Here's the angle I'm looking at- Law of the Sea Treaty 2007 = Townshend Act 1767

The Boston Tea Party is when the colonies woke up and started to demand sovereignty. Today we are faced with the same battle for sovereignty; The Law of the Sea Treaty, if passed, would have Americans paying taxes for using the ocean.

Anyone know the treaty well?

With a little group effort we could come up with a viral hook.

how about naming it Sons of Libertea.

a play on the words on the name of the organization that brought about the tea party "Sons of Liberty". Some of the people that were in this organization were Paul Revere, Patrick Henry, John Hancock, John Adams, and his cousin, Samuel Adams.

just to visualize it. www.SonsofLiberTea.com

Anyone else have ideas for a hook into www.teaparty07.com? I really think we can do better for a hook to get people on the website. I think a concerted effort to draw peoples curiosity would be hand stamped or printed teabags with the web hook on it. Im sure we could develop a food-safe ink to stamp on tea bags and just leave them around in coffee houses, at work, places of business where people tend to stand waiting (DMV, hospitals, auto repair chains, etc.). Send boxes of them to news networks - all sorts of ways to get it moving through communities. In fact, we could do it in waves of support ideas...

any more being developed..? Brainstorming going on anywhere..? I also think some thought should be given to what demographic we want to attract. I would hazard a guess that the older generations are the least likely to have heard of ron paul and those are the ones whos votes we need to take away from the other candidates. One could argue that we get the young to vote and donate and RPs Campaign spends it to get the other votes...but maybe we can draw both on the 16th.

More ideas? Even if you dont think yours is a good one it might inspire someone else with a 10 million dollar plan.

This is exactly right.
Originally it was about taxes and money so why not make it about taxes and money?

December 16

We already have something going on. It is the national Boston Tea Party Commemoration Event. Mentioned on www.TeaParty07.com and you can read all the details here: http://www.dailypaul.com/node/5333

Handing out tea bags? Come on folks, we can do better than that! Let's make the Boston Tea Party Commemoration Event something memorable. Let's not pass up this opportunity to really make a statement.

Photographic proof that Mr. T likes tea parties. Our next step: Does Mr. T also like Ron Paul?

Tea is very cheap. We can make gallons and gallons of it, and distribute it freely. Paper tea cups would have Ron Paul slogans/quotes on them. We can hand out these tea cups to people across Boston at random busy pedestrian areas.

Yes! Yes! Yes! The perfect hook is to make it about the income tax. I think we can maximize the donations and propagate one of RP's major campaign points at the same time. A two for one deal.

Donate now or pay for the rest of your life.

The original Tea Party was as a statement of principle about taxation. The amount of the tax was trivial but the principle that England could impose taxes at will on the colonies was unacceptable. The idea that our government can tax our labor is equally unacceptable.

A quick and easy to way to introduce people to Dr. Paul is to mention eliminating the income tax and the IRS. The site could have drill down info on this topic.

Education and fund raising in one!

I think it may require a good two months of online support to get this tea party anywhere close to what happened yesterday. Time is a wasting.

We need someone working on PRESIDENTS DAY in january (isn't it in jan.) and while we are at it, America Loves Freedom for February. And Turn Ron Paul Green with cash in March

I think we should put 100% of efforts in to the primaries. Planning past January should be done later.

Sorry to have to send you a direct message, but for some reason it won't let me reply to the topic.

I was thinking that since Dec. 16th is pretty close to Christmas, perhaps the teaparty07.com site should have a link to the Ron Paul online store suggesting that books, shirts, etc. make great gifts.

hmm...

On this day December 16th, history will repeat itself...

I like the quote, it's historical.

"Let every man do his duty, and be true to his country"

I like!

"Let every man do his duty"

For some reason this makes me want to go the bathroom and take a crap. Other than that, it's not bad. (sorry my mind is acting like an adolescent's mind in the gutter).

To the Mods, can we make this a subforum like the other 2 money bombs? Thanks.
