We need a November moneybomb

[KingNothing]

Yes we need money now... I swear last time around the campaign specifically told the grassroots the money came in too late.

Indeed, they did. I think this Fill the Teapot idea is awesome. Starting the donations ASAP is the way to go.

Not sure if it's been spent yet, but wasnt there a million sitting in Ron's congressional account????

Indeed. And the campaign haven't got a donation option on the facebook face with half a million likes.
If the campaign are short then mixed signals don't help at all.

Personally I think we should stick to the 16th of Decemeber until there is conclusive proof(collins?) of the need to have it early. Crying wolf as the campaign have on this issue before is domoralising.

I agree 100% with a money "push". I'll still donate Dec. 16th, but the priority must be donating in November.

Remember the "12 million to win" ticker in 2007? I'd love to see something like "3 million to win Iowa".

Set the goal for end of November, which is very ambitious, but they always have the option of leaving the ticker up into December if we fall short as they have with the money bombs. Now imagine the ticker being kept up all the way through Dec. 16, and seeing the Tea Party moneybomb piled on top of all the money already raised! Just a thought. If they do it this way, you could have a realistic goal of 4 mil+ imo.

Ads are off the air, and a big total on Dec 16th will do nothing at this point. We have the momentum on our side, and the enthusiasm, but no money. We can't slow down in Iowa.

Post your ideas.

Unless we can find new donors, expectation couldn't be high given what 11.11.11 turned out.

This isn't about high totals. It's about giving the campaign money now.

A ticker up on the website from now until The Tea Party. 6 Million target! Fill The Tea Pot for Ron Paul.

Yes, this! I should have read the whole thread before I posted above. A prolonged "push" into Dec 16 just seems like the obvious thing to do. Wouldn't that make everyone happy and be ideal for the campaign?

Although 6 million is very, very ambitious. I guess the campaign can decide what is realistic.

A million in 11 days was actually rather good in the situation.

Can the OP put up some sort of poll?

Polls are evil. Especially at this point when there is little substance to the thinking.

Campaign is priority. They were never meant to compete.

Bump, with the latest Iowa poll coming out confirming the surge, this is even more critical. We need an Iowa fund. I emailed the campaign with a request.

We need to get those blocks purchased asap! There's just one month left people, and we 'need' to win Iowa. December, 16 is simply too late. We have to keep this momentum going. Cain's coming to Iowa to campaign. Perry's purchasing major ads. I wouldn't be surprised if Romney comes to Iowa soon. The ads obviously worked great, and we need them back; along with increased people calling and advertising.

$1 Million in November = $3 million in December

I'm ready to donate.

 

[pauliticalfan]

At the very least we need a ticker.

THIS IS WHAT CAMPAIGN ASKS FROM YOU RIGHT NOW!

You got that right. Welcome btw!

Campaign, if you are reading this, give us a ticker to work with!

I say we go with WINNING IOWA and make it the 10-day push leading up to the end of November. It's simple and lets people know what the purpose of their donation is. All those people at home over the holidays, digesting turkey while on the internet, could be tempted to donate. We also catch those who get paid at the end of the month.
