Donation speed has picked up a bit since the FB and Twitter posting but yeah, I think we get to $100K easily today. We shall she how much brings in through Sunday.

Why do people not think the lack of a ticker and the lack of promotion on the main page isn't a big deal? This just seems absolutely outrageous to me.

Plus reps for all donations.

Email from Justin Amash I just got:

Friend of Liberty,

Last night I saw something remarkable on the debate stage.

I saw one man stand up for the Bill of Rights. All of it.

I saw one man announce that if you want another war in Iraq, there are 14 other candidates to choose from, and there will always be another Bush or Clinton.

I saw one man stand up for the Tenth Amendment and a rational drug policy, taking on three drug warriors by himself.

It shouldn't surprise you that this one man is Dr. Rand Paul. I couldn't have been more proud of him last night. I hope you feel the same way.

And if you do, I hope you will join me in contributing to his Constitution Day MONEY BOMB today.

Whether it's defending your rights against drones, the Patriot Act, or indefinite detention, Rand stands up every time.

I urge you to stand with him today.

For Liberty,

Justin Amash

Its pathetic.

I agree, the difference could be 100,000 vs 1,000,000. Someone needs to be fired.

Wasn't one of the other grassroots groups proposing a goal of $10 million for this month's money bomb? Lol

It could be at least a million if they put the ticker up on the main page and promoted it on the main page.

I tried to explain over and over they were setting themselves up for embarrassment.

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

Yes, precisely because there's no ticker and no advertising of the money bomb on the main page of his website. It would be entirely different if the ticker were up on the main page.

That's all speculation to say it's just because the ticker isn't on the front page when it would take all of two seconds to click on the 'Donate' button.

I think having a ticker drastically increases the likelihood of someone having an interest in donating. If that's not there, they're not liking to have an incentive to go to the donate page in the first place.

Think, not know. So again, we'll just see what happens. And suppose someone randomly does want to donate to the campaign, debate or not? They'd be clicking on the donate page.

If they're clicking on the donate page, they're going to be donating anyway. Having a ticker on the donate page does not attract more donors

You seem opposed to the idea of a ticker on the main page. Are you? And, if so, why?

 

[Brandywine]

I agree that it's weird to not have the ticker on the front page. I went to it this morning and thought oh, maybe I had the wrong day. Good thing I clcked donate, but it's weird to me that they wouldn't show it first thing.

See? Even someone who's on the forums questioned whether or not the Money Bomb was today based on the lack of a ticker on the front page. I would call that a problem.

 

[Brett85]

It seems to me like we might be getting close to the end. If the campaign doesn't even care enough to put a ticker up on the main page and promote it on the main page, that might be a sign that Rand is going to drop out in a few days or a few weeks. I hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't look good.

Thanks in advance for not putting words in my mouth again. Never said I was opposed to anything. I'm more baffled that you all take such a giant issue with it when it would take you all of two seconds to just click on the 'Donate' button, but no, you need to see a ticker on the front page because you think that'll be some magic draw to crank up donations, even though you have no proof of that.
