Vote for name/theme for April Moneybomb (April 15, 2012)

A silver lining of being maxxed out:

+Rep, thanks Michael!

How about "Win delegates moneybomb" or "President Paul!" and follow up with "President Paul for prosperity" etc.

Voted for Taxed Enough Already (although maybe I shouldn't be voting since I'm
maxed out. So I'll give to Orenbus' chip-in.)

In hindsight, I wish there had been a "President Paul" moneybomb a couple of months ago.
I like seeing those two words next to each other. Could have been the January moneybomb
right after Ron took second in New Hampshire. Can't even remember the name of the
January moneybomb ... something about South Carolina.

Well, people better get to campaigning for whatever idea they want to win. It's getting close and the poll closes at 3:49 P.M. today.

"In it to Win It" and "Taxed Enough Already" are the two best choices I believe for this money bomb, and rightfully so that they are leading.

I just came up with a new one that may be better than " In it to win it"

How about

Finance Freedom

Just an idea I do like the idea of President Paul also

I think the Moneybomb should be called "The Message Not the Man"

I like this one, kind of reminds me of the V for Vendetta intro and the "you can't kill an idea" meme throughout the movie, also talks to the idea that this campaign and the moneybomb is more than just this election cycle it's a symbol for all of us to change this country at a local level and how it will be a long battle but one we will eventually win.

A range of poor poll options.

I voted for "in it to win it", as best of a poor bunch.

... "President Paul!" ...

... In hindsight, I wish there had been a "President Paul" moneybomb a couple of months ago...

The media bias is what's hurt the Paul campaign this time and in '08. It still persists.

"Black This Out II Moneybomb!"

Media Bias = Lies = Propaganda

I also like "President Paul" theme which is more neutral but something everyone could get behind. And I like the idea of doing "Black This Out" II, since it was probably the most successful theme this cycle and speaks truth to the ridiculous amount of power the media has in our elections, there is no rules out there that says we can't use a theme again instead of having to come up with something completely new. To be honest I don't particularly like any of the themes listed in the poll per say, probably SHH is the closest one as it adds drama to the message which should invoke emotion and be able to communicate that easily, but still not as good as some of the other proposed themes above. Anyway, ultimately I'll support whatever theme is chosen, I don't want a repeat of the competing theme frustrations we ran into in Feb. and to that end I'll probably abstain from voting and let you guys decide whatever theme and I'll work within those parameters, everyone should get behind whatever theme is agreed upon so we stand unified, even if the theme chosen may not be your first choice.

Edit: By the way when I read the first post about the theme "President Paul" first thought in my head was a song Memefilter and AG1RL did for their weekly webcast they do every wed/sun called "Presidential Paulitics" Here is a video of the song:

...But ultimately I'll support whatever theme is chosen, I don't want a repeat of the competing theme frustrations we ran into in Feb. everyone should get behind whatever theme is agreed upon so we stand unified.

I completely agree with that but I thought it was funny to bring the irony of this parallel

Polls closing today, please don't become disgruntled if the name you wanted to support did not get the "nomination" -- We know there could be better, there always is better. There have been many money-bombs already in this election cycle and therefor are deluted in effectiveness but the goal of each is clear and concise -- they need money, we need to win.

This is a place for activism and grassroots helping to volunteer to do more than sit idly by whilst the political tides continue to roll across the nation.

 

[memefilter]

Oh hey, thanks for the plug Orenbus! To all, feel free to use that song for anything grass roots - I wrote the bulk of it way back in '08 hoping it'd become an "anthem" for this cycle, so it's really intended for y'all to blare on sidewalks etc. Our show PRESIDENTial PAULitics is news and analysis, weds and sun 8pm EST/EDT, and it's just two long term supporters sitting at our desks covering current events. Feel free to check it out, join the chat... the usual.

RP2012!

I like the Buffalo Springfield title.

Finance Freedom


I've got to say, I really like that!! I wish I could change my vote.

 

[Salvial]

I got it!

Why not "The WILDCARD Moneybomb"?

We are the wildcard because we OWN the Independents
We are the wildcard because we WIN the delegates
We are the wildcard because Ron is honest and CONSISTENT
We are the wildcard because we are not funded by big banks

Eh... eh? Not to mention that we attract young democrats away from Obama. If we want to win, we need a wildcard!

That should be our narrative.

No-one¿

None of the choices are particularly strong..

I LOVE the idea of a "Finance Freedom Moneybomb"

4/20 End the War on Drugs Money Bomb!

Start thinking California!

 

[sailingaway]

Start thinking California!

that really isn't a driving vote issue for most Californians.

 

[Carson]

Illegal immigration chaps some peoples hide.

Personally I think we are going to have to regain control of our currency before we can regain control of our borders, our war department, or our government.

President Ron Paul actions could be a good example for the world to follow and regain control of theirs.


A while back I started wondering where the money was coming from to buy off the politicians and subvert the immigration laws of the world. I came across what may be the answer; Fiat money. (For the way a corruptly run fiat works click to embiggen the Super Dollar below.).

Not only are there those that can print up what ever amount they want to get there way, their rampant spending has devalued all of the honest hard earned money people had and depended on. The squeeze it has put all of us under has driven many to illegal activity to stay in business.

IN IT TO WIN IT!!!!!!!!!

 

[jamezelle]

In it to win it is the best of the choices.

Okay so before I start to ask Dave to begin making graphics and I go through the motions of building out the web apps wanted verify a few things:

1. Are we decided then on "In It To Win It"? I know the decision making was done pretty quickly and only a few people had a chance to voice their theme ideas initially in the other thread over the course of a couple of days so many who are paying attention now may not have had a chance to participate in the initial theme selection for the poll. Although I do understand the need to decide this and move on it as fast as possible as it stands right now we have 17 days until April 15th, not a lot of time for promotion work. Most of the web infrastructure for the site is already completed, however graphics will need to be created from scratch the entire process from theme decision to going live took us a week and a half last time for NOBP, we should be able to get the site and associated initial work done probably half that time, but say that ends up being 4-5 days that gives us 12 days then for promotion of course things can be added on as we go so perhaps we can get the presence going ASAP once theme is final and work around promotion activities which then could be same day so we can get the word out early. In any case we do have some flexibility if we need another two days to hash out theme or we can just go with what we have now. For the February MB we ended up having two polls because most people didn't really have a chance to vote on the initial one (not enough people know it was going on especially the Daily Paul folks) and NOBP ended up being the final theme chosen which got picked up by the campaign and ended up working out for the most part in the end, we had about the same amount of time as we do now perhaps an additional week to work with, anyway figured I would ask to make sure we are good to go on this theme and to make sure we aren't going to change our minds in the next day or two if we start working on this now.

2. We're still going to need to have the chipin reach 100%, right now we are at 25%. If you can't chipin please ask others to do so this is essential so that we can do the work that is needed and cover the costs involved.

3. I'll need to know who all is interested in being involved in core promotion duties for this money bomb through social networking activities (facebook, twitter, etc.), I can do this solo if needed but if some of you are interested in participating please post here if you plan on being actively involved so we can start to work on some of the initial activities. You'll need to devote at least one hour per day to promotion activities.

Thanks

I believe the fairest way to move now is to accept the "In it to Win It" theme. We do not have time to mess with the theme anymore.

And the date has been set since the beginning. There is a big slate of primaries on the 24th, so, we need to make sure the campaign has the money well before then.

Warp speed!

Edit: I will be active in the promotion of this money-bomb but I have no skills

I can provide enthusiam and ideas that are derived from a self preservation. If there is another money-bomb where I have to donate x4 in a row I will be financially destroyed.

 

[carterm]

it seems like the people over at dailypaul are talking about "END the IRS" moneybomb. just make sure we're on the same page if possible.
