The official "Stand with Rand" moneybomb thread is here! April 7th!

[Barrex]

You guys make me nervous. Nothing is being done. There is just snail paced forum talk about things related to money-bomb but nothing of supstance...If within 7 days we dont have at least core team of managers (for web page, writing etc.) I will officially begin to panic.


Lets say that average person (not you rpf internet junkies) visits social media accounts (Facebook, twitter and other main sites where word about money-bomb is spread) every 3 days; lets assume best case scenario that we contacted all people that we intended to...
Person "zero" goes online - likes moneybomb - notifies his friends;
3 days pass - his friends go online - like moneybomb - notify their friends;
3 days pass - his friends go online - like moneybomb - notify their friends;
3 days pass - his friends go online - like moneybomb - notify their friends;
3 days pass - his friends go online - like moneybomb - notify their friends;
and so on...
How much in advance do we need to notify person "zero" in order to have maximum impact - maximum amount of people notified about moneybomb? 7 days before money bomb? That way we get only person that we notified and his friends. No time to spread the message any further.

In order for articles and letters to the editor to be published and read by people they need to be sent at least 20 days before money-bomb. 10 days for letter to be read and posted online (web page) or printed and 10 days to be read and liked forwarded.

In order for letters to the editor,articles, press releases etc. to be sent:
-they need to be made at least 22 days before money bomb.
-database of contact information of web portals, newspapers, blogs, TV stations, and other media need to be collected at least 25 days before money-bomb.

If all above is to be done theme, pictures bannes, avatars, graphic etc. need to be done at least 26 days before money-bomb so that it can be incorporated in articles, letters, press releases etc.

If all above is to be done team leaders and volunteers should be recruited at least 30 days before money-bomb.


I am ready to work on contact information database (facebook groups, tea party groups, web portals etc.) I will collect at least 200 of them 20 days before money-bomb. What format and where (excel, word) should it be?

Sure people will donate to money-bomb if no one lifts their little finger too.



P.s.
As usual: dont take it as an insult...

 

[IndianaPolitico]

I can definitely help with the social media banners and graphics. (However I feel there are others who would be more qualified to head that up.)

I might be able to dig up the Rand Paul's Tea Party moneybomb email list for this, but it hasn't been touched in years so I'm not even sure if it still exists (this was back when we used FeedBurner).

 

[muzzled dogg]

Give me a YouTube or something and then I'll share it with the meetups

 

[Brett85]

Only 259 people have pledged to donate so far.

[Bastiat's The Law]

I'm not seeing much buzz guys.

 

[muzzled dogg]

Also getting concerned but them again I'm not "doing"

I think one of the drawbacks to Rand's watered down message is that there just isn't going to be as much enthusiasm among the liberty movement as there was for Ron, and the money bombs aren't going to be as big. I understand why Rand is doing what he's doing, but one of the drawbacks to what he's doing is that he just isn't going to be able to raise as much money from the liberty movement. He's going to have to find other ways to raise enough money to at least be competitive in the early states and get TV ads up.

we're one month away from the first moneybomb of the campaign..

we need to promote it more!

I think you're being negative. I think Rand's moneybombs will take off once he announces and builds some excitement

I'll bump in $250 in addition to promoting it a couple of times.

 

[philipped]

Tomorrow makes 1 month until the Money Bomb...

He's opening the Austin, TX branch tomorrow...

He's gonna get interviewed at SXSW tomorrow, in Austin, TX...

One of his senior advisors was the former State Republican Party chairman....am I missing something here?

Any thoughts on this guys?

I'm interested to find out how Bitcoin supporters will affect these money bombs. I'm heavily involved in Peercoin and NuBits, but I'm not aware of how favorable normal Bitcoin supporters are to Rand. Is anyone aware of what their general feeling is toward him?

I imagine many Bitcoiners to be libertarian leaning. Also, I'm thinking about how many millionaires that were created as a result of Bitcoin's price increase. According to coinmarketcap.com, there seems to be an overall market cap of around $4.5 billion dollars in crypto, excluding investments in businesses and other things. If only 1% of this money was donated to Rand's campaign or a PAC, it could make a huge difference.

The question is whether Rand is favorable to cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. If so, should we advertise these money bombs directly to Bitcoin supporters by taking out ads on http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin and other places? Could this be a good area to target for raising money?

No bad ideas there but I would consider early bitcoin adopters that might donate to Rand Paul to be likely to find out about the moneybomb anyway. I would think (and this is very theory) that generating interest and recognition of the event in a general way will swoop up bitcoiners (internet aware folks) and that it might be more fruitful to make targeted appeals to groups that might otherwise be out of the loop.

 

[Liberty74]

5 million

If not mistaken, the first MoneyBomb for Ron Paul in 2011 was around $500K. The MB might be able to push $3-5M if Rand makes an announcement prior to coincide with the MB.

I sent out some more invites on fedbook.

This is a good thought, if nobody else has any personal connections into the Bitcoin world I can ask around as I do have friends that are regulars in the bitcoin space. Maybe perhaps draft a pro-bitcoin press release and throw it into the bitcoin sphere.

Like I said before, I know someone who does videos and would be down to do donation work. I also know a digital marketer who would be down but there would need to be a small team that works together and splits duties.

When a media friendly press release is made (not by me) I have my own personal media list (a good ass list) that I can blast it out to.

I've been inviting friends to the event.


One last thing....


This theme cannot be just the Rand Paul 2016 Tax Day Money Bomb, there is no sense of urgency or excitement. It needs to be a call to action to support Rand's fight against big government or Rand taking on Hillary or Rand taking on a big trending issue. I cannot stress how important this is and is most likely why there has been little activity.

We should all be doing extra rounds of promotion after he announces to run, there will be guaranteed many different grassroots efforts to support him, they need to first be aware of this event then latch onto this one singular goal to make it a success.

Using Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is a great idea precisely because a large chunk of Bitcoin users are libertarians who made a lot of money if they adopted early. I would imagine there would be an enthusiasm in the bitcoin community not just because of Rand but also because it would make news for Bitcoin. How would the money be collected though, and are there any laws to watch out for?
