TeaParty11.com - Dec 16th Money Bomb - Ron Paul Tea Party

I looked at that one but it looked like you couldn't make status updates on their page.

When a post has 150 Likes, and you Like that post and then comment on that post with the URL to teaparty11.com, and then read all the comments and Like the comments you think would be most sympathetic to the MoneyBOMB, the people whose comments you Like then get a notification you Liked their post. More people return to a thread of comments when their post is Liked than for any other reason.

I think we should hit http://www.facebook.com/teapartypatriots as hard as possible using this method.

1. Skim all of the comments in the Post thread, (this gives you a feel for where the thread is going)
2. Post the teaparty11.com URL with a very short comment accompanying the comment that is RELEVANT to the thread of comments under that post.
3. Read the comments in the Post thread again, this time more closely, (this gives you knowledge of that community and how to communicate with them)
4. Like those comments that are in agreement with our goals.
5. Make a second post that directly addresses the primary area of thought in the comment responses. Do not use the teaparty11.com URL in your second post, in your second post BE a part of that thread.

SHARING:

- Scan the Posts by the admins and SHARE the posts that are relevant to the MoneyBOMB to your friends, or your Community Page members.
- Admins for the page then get a notification that the Post has been shared and by whom. This also drives YOUR community members and friends to that page, drives their attention to that page.

SHARING is the most powerful tool to use on fb to build community. That is the inherent and basic tool that fb provides to it's users to build community. Sharing is MORE powerful than any other action you can perform on fb, that's how the software is written, that's it's paradigm. Just imagine an fb with no sharing.

- When you share, TAG other entities in that share that are MoneyBOMB supporters and they will come and comment and Like YOUR share.

--------------------------------------------------

It is of interest that this gigantic Tea Party site DOES NOT allow Wall posts by any entity other than the page's admins, and that is a weakness of sorts in the social networking world, it says a lot about how they feel about the public's participation in their process and their goals for the page.

There is a reason so many people Liked that page, and that reason, known to us, gives us a giant lever to use. Being a part of that community and interacting with it in comments on the posts is very important.

Also, the Community Pages that are posting comments on that page can then be ascertained and THOSE pages which surely share common community members can be targeted.

Of importance as well are the Community Pages that teapartypatriots have on their Like list, the largest of those should certainly be raider targets.

Dusman, is there any word on those graphics? I just got home from work and am looking to put up that thread. It needs to be put up as soon as possible so we can move into the next phase of the money bomb.

SentinelRV - Shouldn't it read "The revolution continues" on the graphic?

Dusman - The 2007 site had Ron Paul's name as the first element people (most) will see, upper left. The 2011 version has the name off screen, any chance to bring those into alignment, might handle some of the concerns.

Dusman - http://teaparty11.com fails to resolve.
 
Holy shit, 11,100 + pledges since I looked this morning? I assume nobody was auto-loaded so that's just awesome!

William combined the BlackThisOut-mailing list with the TeaParty11-list. Hence the 11,403 pledges! Now we need to write an e-mail to the whole mailing list and with a reach of 11,000 people, the moneybomb can spread pretty quickly!

so only 300+ has actually pledged.. this seems deceptive when looking on the site.
 
That's probably a good idea to swap that one out...

Yeah the whole 9/11 conspiracy theorists, New World Order ppl, birthers, etc I can honestly says turns people off and it turns them off quick. Love the illustrator, and believe in his right to free speech but if they follow his watermark some of his illustration are a tad controversial.

I think a good picture of some of the large rallies would be a good fit to identify as the launch of the real tea party...agree?

I would argue against simply adding them. It wouldn't exactly be wise for a number of reasons.

Well it would help with promotion, but for some who signed up to be part of BTO and may not be for this event, it's not really a true opt-in. I think the suggested route would have been to send out an email to all the people from the BTO event and direct them to the pledge page to re-pledge their support of the event.
 
And Nathaniel -- been trying to get a hold of you, need some data from the list in order to make the chart synced back up with the pledge count. Also was going to work on a live banner like the one above, the supervoterbomb.com goal thermometer, but just wanted to make sure we're still good on that before I dive in...there's not really a lot out there open source wise so I'll have to program my own.

Also setup Twitter (I hate twitter), and am encouraging anyone who does use it to use the hashtag #TeaParty11.
 

I was thinking something along the lines of:

or
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Rally_for_the_Republic.jpg

Something to show those who may not be hardcore Ron Paul supporters that he REALLY DOES have a lot of support and that the history of the Tea Party (prior to being co-opted) was born out of the ashes of Ron's 2008 campaign.

Let me see if we can get that data to resync the pledge count.

Thanks -- once it's synced it works fine, but its based off webhooks so the import from BTO probably caused some hiccups. Takes a couple minutes to get it re-synced once I get that data imported.

Yes, but we want these people to have all the promotional materials available to them to spread around. That's why I've been waiting for Dusman to do the graphics before I stick up the thread. Once that's all up, we can send out the email and include a link to the promotion thread so people will know how to help out. They'll also be able to use all the avatars, image banners and pledge widgets.

On Facebook, already having a couple people ask how the numbers jumped so quickly. I understand why it was done, but to auto-enroll people into the next event, who may not be actually donating or participating, may not look good.
