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

When I access this thread from teaparty07.com I am unable to log in. Why is that?
 
Take off the pledge amount. List $100 per person. People can give more if they want (or less if necessary). It worked very well for Nov. 5.

Wayyyyyy too angry!!!

Where's the LOVE? As in ReEVOLution?
 
BACON: I love the direction and the image..
great. And I'm in Hollywood so you know it's good..
 
Purplechoe:
Nice concept but WAY too violent, stay with the tea concept,
remember people we have to bring in the MAINSTREAM if you want to win, not the extreme element (like us) but the SHEEPLE in the middle. To do that, stay with the revolution but show images they can understand. A guy throwing a bomb is not something they can understand. Take it from an old hand in entertainment..
Pump the creativity but we need to show CHANGE and NOT vIOlence, capiche?
Change is cool (that would be us...) Violence or anything that smacks of it is not cool (that would be the war mongers and Neo Cons..) so, keep showing change and the revolution with LOVE and not anything that anyone can attack us on. Nothing. Every word and every image reflects on our champion (the good doc..) and it's him that ultimately has to defend anything we put out there...
Let's have very, very clean hands and a full on revolutionary spirit of change..
All we can do is all we can do, but, as you know, that will be enough..
 
what will look better to the media:

100,000 people giving $25 on average or
40,000 people giving $100 on average?
 
I agree with keeping it $100. Obviously people will give less if they can't afford it but the $100 sets a nice goal for people. If you give them the option for less, making them think $25 is ok (which of course it is, but we'd like more) then they're more likely to take that option. Just go with $100 as the only option again.
 
Yeah thats the perfect point about this. If you set the optional goal less people give less. If you set it high they give higher.
 
$100 worked good on Nov. 5th, it will work good again for the Tea Party cashbomb!
 
not a fan of the domain name... but oh well.

Trevor will come through as before :)
 
All In

The first state is Iowa on January 3rd. We have to do well in the first states in January in order to have a good showing on Super Tuesday, February 5th. In order to win these early states, we have to raise more money and keep Ron Paul's name in the press. TeaParty07.com is a fantastic way to do that. I like the idea of having an event day on December 15th. That is just more publicity. The media will start giving everyone an update hour by hour on how much Dr. Paul has raised. I can just see the widgets now, on every single news channel, especially if we are on a bigger clip. Ron Paul will rule. The media want a good story. The counters are addictive so let's hook the media. I think the format of $100 per pledge will still work and is the best way to go.

I believe that this single fundraising day has the potential to catapult Dr. Paul into the White House. Because of the proximity of the Iowa Caucus and the January primaries, I cannot in good conscience hold back on any potential donation. I have been spreading my donations out, but my money will not do as much good in January as it will December 16th. So December 16th, I am "ALL IN".

I do have one suggestion. Keep the $100 pledge counter, but add a second pledge counter for people that publicly want to pledge "ALL IN". It could be $100. It could be $2300, but it could keep the media guessing, if thousands of people pledged to go "ALL IN". And it might even increase the contributions that day when people realize that on that single day, their contribution will have the most impact. 1000 pledges could possibly be over $2,000,000.

Anyway, on December 16th, I will go "ALL IN" and I hope anyone else who can do so will.
 
An idea.

I'm no web-site designer but I had something of an idea regarding December 16th so I'm throwing it out there. What if someone put up a site, something like www.freeforchristmas.com or whatever a good name may be. This site would be in the style of a petition/pledge. People could go and "pledge" or "request" that in lieu of a Christmas gift they would ask the gift-giver to instead make a donation to Ron Paul's campaign on December 16th. After signing onto this list of pledgers, it could produce some short HTML memo-type form that they could then cut/paste into an e-mail to whoever they wish to e-mail their pledge to. In this way the individual also controls what percentage of potential gift-givers remain to actually give them gifts ;).

As I see it this has a few distinct advantages. First it has the ability to raise more money for the cause. Second, it allows people to inform their friends and family about Ron Paul in a non-offensive or non-pushy way. Third, it confirms to these same people who receive the pledge that the pledger is indeed quite serious, committed, and motivated. Fourthly, it allows perfect overlap with the TeaParty07. Since the Donations would be requested on that same date it bolsters the results but does nothing to tarnish the "revolutionary edge" of the Tea Party theme. To the contrary, it allows a whole new angle for others who might be turned off by a more "extremist" [not my phrase, but you know what I mean] angle.

Lastly, it allows for more media exposure, potentially more positive media exposure picking up on the "good-times" Christmas vibe. Rather than have the media report on the 17th and then a one or two day decay, rather it would extend the story's natural decay to Christmas day itself. God knows in the mind-numbing cable news coverage around Christmastime they'll be begging for some extra hook... why not give it to them?

PS. Of course the memo that goes out by email would link to the Ron Paul donation page, allowing anyone who took this offer up to poke around for themselves, in case that needed to be stated ;).
