Trash this, I dare you!

I like the idea of donating at a constant rate, instead of all at once.

skolwulf...this is a GREAT idea!!!!!!!!!! ...extremely logical & well thought- bravo!

your pt. re: if we do another money bomb & don't break a record is well taken -- the press would jump all over it & distort it as losing interest.

...& after RP GETS the nomination-- i bet there would be 1 heck-of-a-surge....so a special drive at that time makes sense!!

THIS IDEA needs heavy promoting gang!!!

Count me in. I think you make excellent points and can not think of one reason it shouldn't be done.

I'm becoming broke. So, I won't sign up but I'll donate $10 each Friday. Maybe could you make that an option as well? Also, youtube experts, please start making videos for this. It's a great idea, and we need to promote this ASAP.

On of the reasons I chose $25 dollars is it the lowest selectable amount at https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/ , but by all means give what you can on your payday. I want it kept low so that people don't have to stretch to bad to make the goal, participation will be much more important than the contribution value.

The money bomb idea has worked we broke all the single day records... now we need to plan for the long haul... you're absolutely right . The question is how do we motivate the paulites behind this idea? The idea of a money bomb is very compelling... this is a lot more low key. It also seems like less of a big deal if you skip a week or two. The idea that you could just donate twice as much next week pops into your head and when next week rolls around you realize you can't afford to donate twice as much because your kid is sick or whatever might happen. What we need with this kind of donation scheme is some kind of accountability. I've been saying for a while we need to formalize a kind of Ron Paul national supporter organization. Something where we as a body of supporters can design fundraising drives... denounce certain kinds of actions by supporters for example, those that donate under false names, or those who might make threatening statements to those in the media. We are after all the only grassroots which gets as much or more attention from the media as our candidate does.

I was just thinking... why not have a kind of meetup group congress? Meetup group members can select a person out of their group to send to a Ron Paul meetup group congress. This is how they could start to design exactly how we want to proceed the next stage of this campaign. This is where the grassroots is really happening anyways. It also encourages people to get out from behind their computers which I think is generally a good thing especially for Ron Paul supporters.

This is an EXCELLENT idea. What if we had "sample" paychecks showing how much the income tax takes. Compare that to a modest $25.00 contribution!!

That is a great picture. The Wash Post had two libertarians write a nice piece about RP a few weeks ago and used that picture with the article.

Not a bad idea, but I would think people already are well aware of how much money the income tax takes (I do). I'm trying to draw attention to how much it won't take if Dr. Paul's fiscal/tax ideas win out.

 

[IChooseLiberty]

I totally agree with this and am onboard to make a $25 dollar donation each friday.

 

[B of R guy]

The "sample" paychecks would only be for comparison purposes only. Could also post annual income levels and taxes paid.
No biggie either way. Count me in to help if you need it.
