We need to contact all of these meetup groups asking them to have an event for Dec. 16th. We did this for BTO but I don't think we emailed them early enough. We need to get this done ASAP.

**Update** Meetups 1-40 complete

**Update** Meetups 1-20 complete

I'm now working on 21-40


Any volunteers for 41-50, 51-60 ect?

Do I message the admins of the meetup?

 

[CaptUSA]

43 pages of posts on this, but still so few invites. I checked last night and we haven't even hit 1000 people accepting the invites.

Guys, this will only take a few minutes. You should know by now who to target, time to pull the trigger.

 

[AmberH]

Do I message the admins of the meetup?

You can send 12 emails every 4 hours. Some of the members have facebook where you can send them a message there and save an email for someone else. I usually email a couple of the admins and I check the upcoming meetups of that group and email a couple of the really active members. When I come across really active Ron Paul meetups I go ahead and use up most of my emails on that group.

We still have several features to put in place, but we are working on them now. We should be fully functional by Monday if everything goes smoothly.

TECHNICAL QUESTION:

When the December 11 MoneyBOMB goes live ...

Will the user at the teaparty11.com website be redirected to https://secure.ronpaul2012.com when they click the "Sign Pledge" button?

 

[seawolf]

Dusman.....Thank you for the update on the Website....I am optimistic that you and your team will have Tea Party 11 Main Site up and running smoothly by Monday PM.

I think with the long Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend upon us a lot of potential donors and RP Grassroot Supporters will be checking in and seeing what is happening with the event.

In addition, I hope we can get those great looking Banners on the other thread on Page 1 all of the Key RP Websites by next weekend.

Again to all who are working on Tea Party 11.....THANK YOU!!!

As it seems we have some time to ply skills to support the teaparty11.com site creation, here is an edit of the homepage copy that is from my head, and my heart:

====================================

On December 16th, in the year of 1773, in protest of oppressive taxation patriotic American colonists siezed a large cargo of tea and dumped it into the Boston Harbor. This "Tea Party", the Boston Tea Party, was one of the first large scale actions by American patriots which sparked the American Revolution.

[-optional- (The beginnings of a great, new nation were set in motion on a course to protect liberty, justice and freedom.) -]

The American Revolution, having slumbered through prosperity, is reborn in today's modern Tea Party. Millions of Americans are hearing the renewed message of liberty and heed together the serious implications of fiscal irresponsibility demonstrated by ever growing majorities of our high elected officials. They have wrecked and are destroying our great nation's economy, destroying our freedoms, destroying liberty, our children's futures and imperil our beloved nation.

Tea Party sparks in 2007 threw light upon the Tree of Liberty and we harvested our fruit in 2010. In 2012 the Tea Party will elect the President of The United States of America. On December 12, 2011 sieze a cargo of donations in the millions of dollars, take action together and dump millions into the safe harbor of support for the Ron Paul presidential campaign. Restore America Now.

OUR GOALS:

- Bring together the pledges of 50,000 patriots to donate $100.
- Achieve a one day donation total that surpasses $5,000,000 dollars at www.ronpaul2012.com


=====================================

TECHNICAL IMAGE SUGGESTIONS:

Reduce the transparency of the text layers by about 3%, to around 97%. This will allow the texture of the scroll to show through at a subliminal level. Ink of the colonial period dried to a very dark gray, not a true black. So the RGB values of the black might be adjusted upwards by a hair to simulate a more authentic ink look.

I do like that the feather partially blocks the rightmost date stamp, it gives impetus to user curiosity.

I would remove "The United States of America was born and set out upon a course to deliver liberty, justice and freedom for all." It's inaccurate.

Hey what happened to the blue background avatar?

"The beginnings of a great, new nation were born set upon a course to deliver liberty, justice and freedom for all."

Still inaccurate. Who is this "all"? It sounds as if we are delivering it to people just as we spread democracy abroad.

Hey what happened to the blue background avatar?

I tried it on my profile, have it on there now, but it displays way to small to be effective. I guess that I'm a newbie, my avatar size is limited?

Here it is though !
