Here is an idea we can run along side this.
Christmas No1 on Billboard chart for Golden State - Bombs (The Ron Paul Song)
Two years ago to this day a facebook group was created to get Rage against the machine to Christmas number 1 in the UK. The BBC reported the group had over 750,000 members, On December 20, 2009. (We have almost 600,000 Ron Paul facebook likes)
Let us organize a download bomb in the weeks running upto Christmas (December 16th multiple Download bomb?) and push to the number one spot on theiTunes chart, that will spread the message rather quickly. The band itself has proposed to give the proceeds to the Ron Paul campaign:
Golden State:
"Thank you to the fans and Ron Paul 2012 supporters out there. The response has been overwhelming. Everyone is asking when we will be putting the "Bombs" song out on iTunes, and the reason we've been holding back is we'd like to work with the Ron Paul crew to officially put it out so that the proceeds can go to his campaign. So, if anyone out there can spread the word to whom it may concern...we'd really appreciate it!"
We need a Facebook group (the person that creates it will get media attention. So maybe a Mod from here of the dailypaul would be a good representative for us)

This is actually a really cool idea. It really is a great song that deserves such attention.
Holly crap, This is happening

Just to keep you in the loop. The Ron Paul grassroots are behind you guys.
and here is the reply
Hi James,
Thanks so much for this. We just saw http://www.dailypaul.com/187170/lets-slam-the-itunes-chart this today. The band loves the idea.
They're working on getting the song up on iTunes along with a cover of Dr. Paul's favorite "Universal Solider"
We'd like to make sure his campaign gets proceeds from the sales through his Revolution SuperPAC. So, it would be actually be Moneybomb/iTunes bomb all-in-one.
If you have any ideas on who to contact about this, just let me know...
Lets keep in touch on this.
Best,

Pretty cool.
The proceeds would likely not be able to go to the official campaign, unless each member took their split.. then donated up to their limit. However, that could raise unneeded questions. I would highly recommend approaching RevPac about this. RevPac at least has the organization in place to utilize the funds quickly. If you put me in contact with the band, I can get them in touch with RevPac.
Wow, I've been out of it for the past couple days. I tried to download a free version of that email capture program off a torrent site just so I could test it. Little did I know that a virus was waiting inside it to take over my computer. I spent the last couple days trying to fix it and finally just decided to wipe it and do a fresh installation. Hopefully things are progressing. Dusman, did you ever contact that company about whether their program works with Facebook fan pages?
