Done. I updated to article page right away and forgot this. Thanks.

If we sent out press releases within the week, do we have a "Ron Paul Forums" email address that we could use?

Letting the media know about this is brilliant! I use - http://www.mondotimes.com/ - to find media outlets, and I wouldn't just email your local mainstream media, I'd pick up the phone and call them too - I've even gone so far as printing out press releases and hand delivering them to local newspapers, TV and radio stations - sometimes nothing works better than a smiling face and a hello delivered in person!

and it wouldn't hurt to make your way down this list too - http://rightwingnews.com/special/the-top-100-conservative-websites-of-2014/

Yes, basically could use anything with @ronpaulforums.com, like staff (in use now) or "media".

Rand's officially running with an April 7th Moneybomb.

Big news is coming next Tuesday. Help me send a message the Washington machine can’t ignore.
SHARE if you will stand with me on April 7th!

 

[Natural Citizen]

Hm. Well, that's interesting news. Thanks, WT.

 

[LatinsforPaul]

Well we can't have an April 7th Moneybomb and then a week later an April 15 Moneybomb. Well, I guess it will be on April 7th then.

Rand Paul's Presidential Committee just showed the grassroots who the boss is.

MONEY BOMB EVERYDAY

04/07
AND
04/15

 

[William Tell]

The Cruz people made a big deal about a million dollars in a day. I guess Rand wants to crush that.

 

[Bryan]

We now know a lot more about the situation then we did back in mid-February when we got this ball rolling. Then, there was only a possible hint that 4/7 would be the announcement based on some speculation so the 4/15 date was good since it added some buffer time for the campaign to launch. Now, it's pretty clear the date is locked. I've been thinking about moving the sites support to the 4/7 date for a little while now and had started to talk with some others about moving it. With this move by Rand's campaign it makes it a near slam dunk to move it.

As always, input from everyone is good.

I heard on talk radio the day after his announcement that it was $500K, that was part of the thinking in moving our support.

While initial media reports detailed Cruz raising $500,000 on the first day, the candidate actually reached the $1 million marker near 2:30 A.M. Tuesday, just past the first crucial 24 hours since the campaign's launch on Twitter midnight Monday.

The main facebook event needs to be changed as well. I believe that was started by Gage?

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

So did the money bomb date officially change to April 7th?

The only thing that is official is what you want to make official. (That's the pro-liberty way. ) Otherwise, Rand's campaign came out with an April 7th moneybomb since they know he is going to announce then. I'm game to have the site support (banner, etc) go with the new date but I am also interested to hear what others have to say about this before jumping to things.

Others, please sound off. I already have a new banner waiting in the wings...

 

[IndianaPolitico]

I believe we should switch to the 7th. We will have the enthusiasm of the announcement and the official campaign's efforts on our side.

(Who has access to the large facebook event?)

 

[nayjevin]

and Taxday push

 

[Warlord]

I think you should move it Bryan. it doesn't make sense to have two competing dates and it looks like the campaign has chosen th 7th

 

[IndianaPolitico]

I think we have a pretty clear consensus. The "Tax Day" theme never seemed to take off that well anyways.

 

[r3volution 3.0]

There's no advantage in having dueling moneybombs.

I say move it.
