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

[Sentinelrv]

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

Yes it should, but we don't have any updated graphics to use yet, so I'm using what has already been made until then.

I found this, would be good somewhere on the page. Maybe we could get permission or make something similar?

Edit: This person is a Ron Paul supporter, so he probably wouldn't mind.

I was thinking something along the lines of:

or

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.

I think the first is better than the second. It's protest, not a convention.

I like those, especially the latter one...

Actually, when look at this image closer, it is nice. There should be a small thumbnail that enlarges.

I've been urging dusman to put a Gadsden of some sort front and center on the website since the beginning. It is the symbol of the Tea Party.

I've been doing a study of Tea Party pages on facebook that have between 1,000 and 850,000 Likes.

1. The interaction metric for the Tea Party pages is very, very weak. Some pages with as many as 2,000 Likes only have as few as 30 people "Talking about this".

2. By and Large, Tea Party pages on fb do not carry any Ron Paul media, and many of the pages ban those who talk about Ron Paul "BY NAME".

- The way to approach these pages is to post Ron Paul "Points", and don't mention Ron Paul.

3. Most of the Tea Party pages are engrossed in ATTACKING the democrats with little or no substantive information, just parroting the Right Wing Main Stream Media, (if there is something like that, LOL)

4. There are more pages than usual in the Tea Party community as compared to other communities that do NOT allow people to post to their wall. They censor big time.

5. There are a LOT of Tea Party pages.

6. The "Tea Party" does not have a Candidate for the President of The United States of America and they of course desire and require one.

7. The Tea Party participants are overwhelmingly male, and of an older demographic than the Ron Paul base.

8. The Tea Party is filled with people who desire and "covet" WAR, although there are not many veterans in their group, just warmongers and voyeurs who like war.

9. The average level of intelligence of the poster and commenter, and their general knowledge of issues seems to be significantly lower than the Ron Paul base.

10. Many of the Tea Party pages look as though their administrators have abandoned the page with the most recent posts being weeks, or months old.

Someone want to setup a group and event on Restore the Republic?

Great social network filled with thousands of Ron Paul supporters.

That's pretty much what I've seen as well on the Tea Party pages I've visited, and I can't stress enough about point 2 -- I got banned like 3 minutes after posting a link to www.TeaParty11.com with what I thought was just a continuation of the conversation that was going on, offering my opinion, and then steering the conversation in the direction of RP. That further hits the point home that the "Tea Party" is just re-branded establishment.

I agree, the sheep are in the pen so to speak. Some of those sheep were smart enough to be Ron Paul supporters in 2007-08, and many of them seem to have become disinterested in what the Page creators and Admins are feeding them as evidenced by the really low interaction metrics of those communities.

I'd say there is a good chance that many of them are willing to take a look at what Ron Paul has to offer and take a closer look at the Tea Party as it stands today.

Just invited a ton of people to the FB event.

They need to say Moneybomb and Ron Paul. Any widget also needs to say how much they are pledging for: $100.

Does that seem better?

For the top and bottom ones, yes.

I've been working on an offshoot of the BTO fb campaign, the blacked out eyes, which promoted interaction with participants.

I've added the teaparty11 MoneyBOMB graphic to the profile pictures of several pages.

Most fb profile pics, (avatars), are not very tall, and most have room for the scroll underneath them. Take a look folks, tell me what you think please.

Celebrities for Ron Paul

Ron Paul MoneyBombers

Musicians for Ron Paul

Ron Paul Banners

Community Pages can certainly exercise this technique. I'm wondering how to get individuals to do this on their personal profiles.

Could the same techniques used during BTO be used to do this, wasn't there an app where people submitted their pics to be BTO'ed, how was that done?

 

[FBappDev]

DUSMAN !

Could you please attach the pic of Ron Paul with his hand on his chin, or make that available somehow in the thread, or just send it to me please, or drop a link in the thread to that pic.

I want to develop some facebook profile banners that emulate your widget banners. The user clicks any of the 5 pieces of the profile banner and lands inside the album where each of the 5 profile pics are gateways to www.teaparty11.com, and when the MB goes live, I change the URL to the secure, live URL at https://secure.ronpaul2012.com

Example:

Awesome. When can we see a vertical one? I always get asked that when I am trying to get websites to put a widget on it.
