This has to be understood that this is a grassroots FUNDRAISER to honor family values. I have been posting on this fundraiser and have been warned that there could be some legal problems with personal gifts. This fundraiser is not my idea ( I wish it was, I think it is terrific ) but it has to be understood that this is political fundraising event to celebrate family values that coincides with their 51st anniversary. Donations are made at the official campaign website.
Here is a link you might enjoy:

I Truly think this makes a GREAT Ron Paul MSM cover STORY. CUTE!

Much better than John McCain going to McLieberman's buddies in New York/Connecticut, a I mean NYC (ZIONSVILLE) and the affluent LI communities for ELITIST/WEALTH CASH COWS.

BTW, Did anyone catch McAMNESTY's calling LIEBERMAN a DEMOCRAT last night in the debate? Forever McCain has been touting LIEBERMAN as an INDEPENDENT!

Wow! Pledges are coming fast. This is a great idea and we so need to get them the funds. We need to focus on this every single day until February 1st. People appear to like the idea judging by how fast the pledges are coming right now (Check this graph http://ronpaulgraphs.com/fiftyoneyears_members.html)
I know there are many money-bombs but well I like this one best because of the date/idea. Also I like it because it seems to be popular as well. This is a great idea and there won't be any who refuse to donate because they didn't like the idea (Like MLK and Benjamin Franklen days). Since everyone here (Well 95%) are totally behind Ron Paul. ;)

Please pledge now so others will join in on the momentum this event is gathering. To pledge simply go to this website: http://www.fiftyoneyears.com/

Really sorry to crosspost--but absolutely nobody is in the Feb 1st subforum, and actions have to be taken now, so please if you want to get it hyped and organized, come on over and help us with your ideas and smarts:

Subforum: February 1st Moneybomb (24 Viewing) http://www.ronpaulforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=99

Most important post :) Organize now

We cannot do the same things we did with MLK. There was a huge lack of orginization and effort.

With this, we need to make sure, IMMEDIATELY, with great urgency, that certain things get taken care of:

1. MOST IMPORTANT! Make it an EVENT for every meetup group. This never got figured out last time and it must be done--the results could be great, and it would be so easy, it seems: Every meetup coordinator and group needs to be emailed or notified somehow of this, and then it must be made AN EVENT for every meetup group--that way it is front and center and people can RSVP for it and post about it. This was done for like maybe a quarter of the meetups on Dec. 16th. So HOW do we make sure every coordinator/leader gets this message?

-----There has to be an administrator or someone that can send a blanket message to every meetup leader, right?

2. the Nov. 5th, Dec. 16th, Dec. 31st, and Jan. 21st lists get ONE email NOW, and ONE email early in the morning of Feb 1st. TWO EMAILS ONLY. But we must do this. The subject line must be good and it must link to a site with great videos, etc.

3. the Myspace people need to get ONE bulletin NOW with the link to the sight AND A VIDEO, and then ONE bulletin on the day of Feb 1st. Facebook people need to be told and it needs to be made an event on Facebook.

Most important thing you can do to make this big: Post meetup groups that HAVE the feb 1st money bomb on calendar http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?p=1098776#post1098776 (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?p=1098776#post1098776)


STICKY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread will be for posting the links to the ron paul meetup groups that HAVE the feb 1st money bomb on their calendar AND have sent out at least ONE message to the newsletter email so it can be seen on the "message board" for that specific meetup group.

What is needed to do
1. Sign up, suggest the meetup event and make sure it gets posted on the calendar as an EVENT so people can rsvp AND a message sent out to ALL members of that specific ron paul meetup group.

2. Post the link to the actual event page for EACH ron paul meetup group that has it on the calendar IN this thread so people will know to search for and locate OTHER meetup groups to JOIN, get the date on the calendar and email ALL members of that group.

I will be posting a complete master list of ALL event links for every meetup group that gets posted as well so we can keep track of them all. Join ron paul meetup groups with tons of members to help get the word to spread faster or hit the smaller lesser known ones. They all have active members who need to be made aware of the feb 1st money bomb day.

This is the easiest way to see who is willing to do some of the work to reach those meetup groups that need to be contacted. I will happily organize and weed out any dupes in this list. Keep me busy everyone!!!!! Each meetup group could potentially help raise tens of thousands a piece just by association so lets not assume everyone in each meetup group knows about this next money bomb.

To get started go to http://ronpaul.meetup.com (http://ronpaul.meetup.com/) and locate at least 10 ron paul meetup groups and join them and complete the 2 steps mentioned above.

-----On the left side under "All Ron Paul 2008 Meetups" it lists all the meetups from largest to small.
-----I have already done 1-10, and I am now doing 11-20.
-----Pick a group of meetups, and then come here and make a post telling us the ones you are going to notify, so we don't waste our efforts by duplication.

2. SIGN IN to Meetup.com. Start going to the meetups you picked.
-----Sign up for the meetup and leave this message for the "Say hello and share a few things about yourself" thing:

----- Then go to the Calendar page, and if it's not an event yet, click "Suggest a Meetup"--and then send this:



3. Come back here and update your post confirming that you notified those groups.

do all these things and become a hero:


Download FriendBlaster from www.addnewfriends.com this will allow you to go to Ron Pauls friend page on myspace to automatically scan their user names. These names are saved then you ad the message you want to say and it sends it out to these people. He has 120k friends think if they all donated 50 dollars, and dont worry about spamming them they are already Paul supporters I am sure they wont mind getting informed of the next money bomb because not everyone visits these forums.
By the way I just sent 7 more messages since typing this.


This is my updated version of the MySpace bulletin.

This does not include a repost button since that will not work anymore, but it does include the video as an embed instead of a link.

I think it is best to keep the text as simple as it can be, the snazzy one seamed a bit cluttered to me (no offense intended at all).

I did shamelessly take text from the other one that I liked. :P

Messages need to be sent to at least the largest 500 Meetup groups. Will you help? It's a simple cut and paste operation.

Each person can send up to 25 messages per Meetup account/Email account. So, if you're willing to send out more than 25, you will need to establish additional accounts.

This is how:
1. Setup a new email account through something like mail.com or yahoo.com.
2. Setup a new Meetup account. Go here: http://www.meetup.com/register/
Note: It will ask you for your email account. Provide the new one you setup in #1. Note that you do NOT need to join a Meetup group, to be able to send out Meetup messages.
3. Go to http://ronpaul.meetup.com/about/ and select the Meetup group you want to send a message to.
4. Click on "Contact Me", which is under the Organizer's picture on the left hand side of the screen.
5. Paste the message that you want to send the Organizer and enter a subject. (Note: After you enter this once, it will be available for all subsequent messages you send).

AFTER SENDING OUT 25 MESSAGES, REPEAT STEPS 1-5.

================

Sample message:

Tomorrow, February 1, is the FiftyOneYears Ron Paul Money Bomb. The date was chosen to celebrate Dr. and Mrs. Paul's 51st anniversary. We are asking everyone to please donate at least $51 in celebration of this date and to give Dr. Paul the money he badly needs to campaign in the upcoming states.

If you'd like to pledge in advance, go to http://www.fiftyoneyears.com/
Otherwise, please remember to donate tomorrow. www.ronpaul2008.com/donate.

=================

To make sure we are not stepping all over each other and sending out messages to the same Meetup groups, could we please use this thread for each of us to indicate which Meetups we are taking. For example, the first person could say... I'll take 1-25. The next person, 26-50 and so on.


I was just browsing around ronpaulmeetup.com looking for a way to mass contact the meetups about the Feb 1st moneybomb when I noticed a page called "meetup alliance". This alliance consists of 333 meetup groups and 36782 members. It provides an e-mail address that can be used to contact the organizers, who could in turn contact all the meetup groups in this alliance.


here is the alliance address - http://www.meetupalliance.com/RonPaul2008

the e-mail to the alliance directors - RPMeetupAlliance@gmail.com




Made a Facebook group for the February 1st moneybomb.

Invite all your friends and spread the word!

I know, I spelled February wrong =(


http://aii.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12099851076&ref=nf


This seems like it would be an effective way to contact about 1/3 of the all the meetup members and notify them about Feb 1st.

TELL 50,000 PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK ABOUT THE TEAPARTY: Help me! It takes 60 seconds!!!!!
EDIT: Hey, if you're reading this, bump this topic for me. Thanks.


Alright, guys. The Tea Party is approaching. I need every one of you for this:

http://www.therobert.org/rp/fb/tp/index.php

Last time, I did something similar for Nov 5th, and it was a huge success (over 5,000 people contacted). Let's reach all 50,000 of Ron Paul's friends!!


Oh, also, one more thing. Facebook might get suspicious if the same message gets sent out thousands of times. So could you take this message, make lots of changes that make the message sound different, but each sentence say exactly the same? For example, you could change "Ron Paul raised $4.3 million" to "$4.3 million was raised by Ron Paul's supporters", etc. PM the new message to me. Here's the current one:

Quote:
Hi, fellow supporter! This is a long message, but read just this paragraph for the short version. On November 5th, $4.3 million was raised from individual Ron Paul supporters like you. This was the largest one-day fund raiser by a Republican in a primary race, and it earned us quite a bit of attention and respect. On December 16th, the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, Ron Paul supporters like you and I will raise $10 million in one day, and we will have coordinated the largest one-day political fundraiser in history. Without your donation, we will fail. With your donation, we might pull off the upset of the century, put Ron Paul in the White House, and restore liberty to every American. Join us on December 16th for the Tea Party 07:

http://www.TeaParty07.com

The Tea Party already has more subscribers than November 5th! If you can give $100, please sign up so we know where we stand. If you can't, please mark your calendar and don't forget to scrape up as much as you can on December 16th!

We need your every single ounce of effort on this one. This will be Ron Paul's last chance. When the Tea Party succeeds, we will be the frontrunner in fundraising out of ALL the political candidates, Republican or Democratic. The media attention will be stupendous, and Ron Paul will finally have the means to run a truly national campaign. This is essential, because the primaries are only a few weeks away, and only 30% of primary goers have even HEARD of Ron Paul. But this is good news! With Ron Paul already polling at almost 10%, this means that one-third of the people who have heard of him will be voting for him. Imagine how high his polling would reach if we can get the message to another 30%, 60% or 90% of likely primary voters!

Ron Paul needs the media exposure from having the largest fundraiser in history, as well as the actual money it will bring in. If we pull this off, Ron Paul will have the entire media dedicated to just him for the entire day; it will be a deal-breaker for his candidacy: we MUST succeed.

Please post this video on a Facebook bulletin: http://youtube.com/watch?v=IsDlO2Lr_cg (this is VERY effective). Please tell all friends, family, and liberty-loving individuals that this is the last chance to restore America to its Constitutional basis; to end the war, to stop corruption of our liberties and rights, and to make sure in 2008 your ballot isn't "Clinton or Giuliani". If you know people who haven't heard about Ron Paul, tell them about this amazing individual:

http://RonPaulIsHope.com

If they're a Democrat concerned about the war, point them to RonPaulIsPeace.com and note that even Clinton and Obama have refused to commit to be out of Iraq by 2013. And whoever you tell about Dr. Paul, ask them to donate on December 16th as a personal favor to you instead of getting you a Christmas present this year! Remember, even $1 donations bring up the total number of donors, an equally significant figure.

This Facebook message was sent to you by a fellow supporter like yourself. We have already reached @SENT@ of over 50,000 of Ron Paul's Facebook friends! To help reach everyone (it takes just a minute), visit this webpage:

http://therobert.org/rp/fb/tp

This is truly our last chance. However, with your help, it won't be our last "chance"; it will be yet another victory for the American people.

TO VICTORY!

do all these things and become a hero:


Download FriendBlaster from www.addnewfriends.com this will allow you to go to Ron Pauls friend page on myspace to automatically scan their user names. These names are saved then you ad the message you want to say and it sends it out to these people. He has 120k friends think if they all donated 50 dollars, and dont worry about spamming them they are already Paul supporters I am sure they wont mind getting informed of the next money bomb because not everyone visits these forums.
By the way I just sent 7 more messages since typing this.


This is my updated version of the MySpace bulletin.

This does not include a repost button since that will not work anymore, but it does include the video as an embed instead of a link.

I think it is best to keep the text as simple as it can be, the snazzy one seamed a bit cluttered to me (no offense intended at all).

I did shamelessly take text from the other one that I liked. :P

Messages need to be sent to at least the largest 500 Meetup groups. Will you help? It's a simple cut and paste operation.

Each person can send up to 25 messages per Meetup account/Email account. So, if you're willing to send out more than 25, you will need to establish additional accounts.

This is how:
1. Setup a new email account through something like mail.com or yahoo.com.
2. Setup a new Meetup account. Go here: http://www.meetup.com/register/
Note: It will ask you for your email account. Provide the new one you setup in #1. Note that you do NOT need to join a Meetup group, to be able to send out Meetup messages.
3. Go to http://ronpaul.meetup.com/about/ and select the Meetup group you want to send a message to.
4. Click on "Contact Me", which is under the Organizer's picture on the left hand side of the screen.
5. Paste the message that you want to send the Organizer and enter a subject. (Note: After you enter this once, it will be available for all subsequent messages you send).

AFTER SENDING OUT 25 MESSAGES, REPEAT STEPS 1-5.

================

Sample message:

Tomorrow, February 1, is the FiftyOneYears Ron Paul Money Bomb. The date was chosen to celebrate Dr. and Mrs. Paul's 51st anniversary. We are asking everyone to please donate at least $51 in celebration of this date and to give Dr. Paul the money he badly needs to campaign in the upcoming states.

If you'd like to pledge in advance, go to http://www.fiftyoneyears.com/
Otherwise, please remember to donate tomorrow. www.ronpaul2008.com/donate.

=================

To make sure we are not stepping all over each other and sending out messages to the same Meetup groups, could we please use this thread for each of us to indicate which Meetups we are taking. For example, the first person could say... I'll take 1-25. The next person, 26-50 and so on.


I was just browsing around ronpaulmeetup.com looking for a way to mass contact the meetups about the Feb 1st moneybomb when I noticed a page called "meetup alliance". This alliance consists of 333 meetup groups and 36782 members. It provides an e-mail address that can be used to contact the organizers, who could in turn contact all the meetup groups in this alliance.


here is the alliance address - http://www.meetupalliance.com/RonPaul2008

the e-mail to the alliance directors - RPMeetupAlliance@gmail.com




Made a Facebook group for the February 1st moneybomb.

Invite all your friends and spread the word!

I know, I spelled February wrong =(


http://aii.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12099851076&ref=nf


This seems like it would be an effective way to contact about 1/3 of the all the meetup members and notify them about Feb 1st.

January 31, 2008


We know that many of you already are aware that Friday is Ron and Carol's 51st wedding anniversary. We thought now might be a nice time to share a little bit of their wedding story, from the words of Carol Paul.

"I actually came into the picture about 1952 when Ron was my escort to my 16th birthday party. Don't tell anyone - but I asked him... actually my birthday is February 29th and it was a Sadie Hawkins-type party where the girls asked the boys... and I asked him.

...

"We went away to college (different colleges in different states), but always kept in touch. On February 1, 1957, we married in an all-white wedding with the bridesmaids carrying armloads of red roses. The flower girl wore a white dress and sprinkled rose petals down the aisle. A fraternity brother of Ron's sang "The Wedding Prayer" and the "Lord's Prayer." Both are very special to us, even today.

"We spent his last semester in college married, and living on the third floor of an old home in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. For one year Ron was manager of the college coffee shop called "The Bullet Hole." He worked as steward and house manager for his fraternity, and had a small scholastic scholarship to help finance his way through college.

You can read more about Ron and Carol's life story in her article, "The American Dream," on our website.

For those of you who will be contributing on Friday in honor of Ron and Carol's many loving years together, we've included an added bonus: Everyone who contributes at least $201 (since Friday is, after all, 2/01) will get to write a personalized anniversary message to Ron and Carol!

In the coming days, we'll display some of these messages on our website, and we're also going to present every one of them, along with your names, as a gift to Ron and Carol!

Thank you in advance for your help in giving Ron Paul one big fundraising and media push before Super Tuesday! https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate
