ThisNovember5th.com - multi freedom candidate mass donation day

[dr. hfn]

How about everyone donates to whoever they want to and in the amounts they want to. Will this work? Or will it disperse us too much? Alot of our lesser known candidates could use some $$$. And I don't think Liberty PAC needs any money, most of Ron's extra cash went to that.

this is a good idea if it can take off

IN THEORY getting all the candidates funded is a great idea but the other side of the coin is should we concerntrate resources

If you think you'll have $50 for at least one candidate about 5 weeks from now please pledge and give this effort some wings. I know we're talking out the details but this is ready for pledges.

Dispersion shouldn't concern anyone. The goal should be to spread information far and wide about who is running against the status quo in every category: local, state, and federal. We need a central location for people to learn that information. The more people who know, the more money will be donated. Give people the choice for who they want to vote for.

For example, people can put some of their money on the under-dogs and the rest in candidates running in their own states.

Trying to single out certain candidates while excluding others minimizes our chances of taking the majority away from the socialists running the country right now.

Bottom line is we need a central hub for all opposition and we need to disseminate that hub ASAP!

I just pledged and got confirmation, but don't see it reflected on the page?

I personally think that this will help a LOT for exposing more people to the r3VOLution.

Great Idea; it will be difficult deciding which candidates get on this list.
Here is a thread that lists a number of possible Liberty candidates w/ links on OP.

This is when it would be ideal if there was a short Liberty questionnaire each potential candidate could answer and then decide if they should make the cut.

Good points Deborah. Probably a poor choice of words on my part (dispersion). I do think I'll need to paginate the candidates but that's pretty common anyway and this could be a hub of information like you say.

I started everyone at 1 pledge and so that is kind of interfering with an accurate count. I'll change that now. But pledges won't show up automatically at the moment. I may be migrating this site over to another platform that will have more functionality so auto updates may be still to come...

Trevor,

Trevor I know there is only a feasible number of candidates you can put on this, and you are probably receiving or will receive a lot of requests for candidates......so here's my pitch . If you could put Bob Parker on the list it would be most appreciated. We have a good chance of getting that RINO Emerson out of the 8th in the primary, and since this district practically has an R stamped on it's ass we will get a Repub no matter what. So here is the link if you are able to accommodate another candidate. If not, it's understandable.

Trevor,

Yes please list candidates here and I will add them.

I'm also working on individual candidate pages so people can promote one candidate if they like. Here is a first example.

http://thisnovember5th.com/RJHarris.htm

I sent RJ's campaign an email asking for banners that I could put here so people could promote his page with them. Could be kind of fun to have all kinds of banners going for this thing.

What are the criteria for inclusion?

If we point friends/family to the site, what will be done with the e-mail addresses
submitted with their pledge?

Maybe Trevor could set it up so that donators have the option of being put on a mailing list that keeps them up to date on their chosen candidates?

None will ever be sold (none ever have been either) and every email sent has an unsubscribe link as always.

excellent, thanks.

Yes- that is the case. Each pledge box is for it's own candidate.

I've updated the numbers so they are accurate. Oh! Randy Brogdon is in the lead!! (see this could be fun )

 

[SwordOfShannarah]

It's a great question. Issues all need to reflect the constitutional position.

I don't have a full vetting process other than to take suggestions, make sure their issues are pro-constitution, and then listen to feedback once a candidate is listed. If someone draws a lot of objection they can be taken down. If anyone has suggestions for a more formal vetting approach feel free to put it out there.

I'll certainly stew on it, hopefully someone will come along w/ ideas ready to get the thought process going... we've got a nice cool front blowing in, it's got me in a different sorta headspace atm.
