http://www.ronpaulmeetupchallenge.com/ is up and running!

This is just the teaser page for us ronpaulforum people! I still have a few bugs to work out before it goes viral but you will get the point!

Thank you everybody for your support!

With your help we can raise the money the good Doctor needs.

Love The Music

[RobS]

Drop Kick Murphy's on a Ron Paul site, about time :)

Might want to add a title tag on it though, so it doesn't say "Untitled document"

[Ara825]

To be honest, I think the music is too harsh for the older people who make up the 80% of my meetup.

Edit to say, the page does look amazing :)

[pauliticalpress]

Thanks guys:) we worked nights till like 4am....freedom ant easy baby!

You need to add a <title> to the page. Also maybe turn the volume down, and cut out the vocals so just the music loops. Good work though! Can't wait till this is up.

[jarofclay]

Cool. What's the gist of the site?

[pauliticalpress]

Again the music will be edited asap! As I said its just for us ronpaulforum folks for now! we will tone it down when we start promoting the site.

I looked at the site and read the OP (saw the flash intro). It looks great! Still confused. How does it work?

Bam! This is how we raise 23 Million Dollars for Ron Paul
Posted January 23rd, 2008 by TheBlandit

The Great 23 Million Dollar Paul Contest.

We will provide the medicine for what ails. What is the ailment you might ask?

Why its that nasy MSM Flu...

Y'know, the one that's been spewing out bullshit to us all these years. Networks that have been instructed not to show any hint of Ron Paul. Networks that routinely slap us in the face with a pie as it were!

My friends, I think 23 Million is a paultry sum if this is what Ron Paul is asking for in order to combat this.

We should be able to give him 50!

How you might ask? Well, I'll give you a hint. All we need to do is look at the numbers. It is a numbers game after all.

SO.

Brass tacs. We need 23 Million, that's 23 with 6 Zeros.

Lets take a look at what we as supporters have on our side, and all of our zeros...

This is how we will do it.

We have approximately 1500 meetup groups. With about 90,000 members in Ron Paul meetup groups, this works out to an average of 60 people per group. Each person in the meetup group would only need to donate an average of $255 per person.

How you say?

We shall have a contest!

A Grand Meetup Challenge that will be bigger, better than the first Great Meetup Challenge.

Imagine if we did that again?

With the numbers that we have now?

Which meetup will raise the most?

Which state will take highest state?

We will put together a website, think NBA, NFL, or CFL. All stats, all the time.

There will be awards, prizes, tears. Laughter and Joy.

If we had it over a 30 day period, that $255 amount works out to $63.75/week.

There are many ways to bring the money in.

People could sell signs, take donations. Sell memorabilia. Some may have a garage sale.

Everyone has been talking about how this is an insurmountable amount. Last time i checked though, nothing was impossible with this crowd. We raised 4 million in one day, then 6 million the next.

Heck, we can raise 2 million even when the economy is crashing.

WE CAN DO IT!

Bringing together all the Meetups in the great 23 Million Dollar Paul Challenge will be event that catapults Ron Paul to the convention, and into the White House.

If you think this is as great idea as i do, then please forward it and lets get this thing rolling!

[jarofclay]

Awesome idea!! Let me know if you need anything. How will we be tracking which group is ahead? (Should I go to the other thread? Sorry I missed it.) :)

[pauliticalpress]

Hey no worries brother!

What we need is a Flash Guru and someone who can host our forum on their servers!

Other then that we love moral support!! and you can always go to www.pauliticalpress.com and help us hijack the news press by donating so we can stay afloat..:)

[Peterjar]

Just wanted to remind the creators of this site that they need to allow expatriated Americans to compete. There are hundreds of thousands of us. There are meetups in 32 countries. Its would be best to allow us to compete as one block. But it could be done by continent.

[Expatriate]

Yes, it would be nice to have support for expatriates too. Check out my name!:D

Edit: I don't plan to be an expatriate for much longer. One way or another I will return to the States to help the good doctor. If I don't, I know I will regret it for the rest of my life.

[barrett203]

Major Bump!

[pauliticalpress]

I will make sure you can participate expatriates don't worry!

[UnitedWeStand]

I am so glad you taken this idea and run with it, its a great idea!

1st--has Ron Paul agreed to visit the meetup winner?
2nd- will there be 2 winners, a rural and urban so as to balance the population issues?
3rd- love love the music, very patriotic and inspiring-- perfectly appealing to both young and old imo

Good Job!

[pauliticalpress]

Hey its nothing any other red blooded American would do!

Its us or them, and them is the evil thats destroying our homeland and the future of our children!

If we don't fight with everything we got, then we don't got much! I might go broke after all this work that I am funding my self, but I would rather be broke and free then rich in a prison of my own creation.

So if I show up on your door steeps one day I hope you remember, I rolled the dice for liberty, I rolled the dice for freedom, I rolled the dice because of all the families that lost so we are able to fight again.

This is our fight! there will be no second chance, no re-run on late night TV, we must mobilize NOW like it means something, because it means everything.

First I want to say thank you to all the great people in the RP forums for helping Chris and I make this idea a reality!

We have found our flash and server people and it only took 2 hours! WOW Amazing how fast we can work if we all pull together...that is what this movement needs to take us to the convention! umm and money! and that is where we come in;)

http://www.ronpaulmeetupchallenge.com/

The edits for the teaser should also be finished tonight! I hope everyone liked the Dropkick Murphys song "shipping of to Boston" I felt it was appropriate sense Dr.Paul is moving forward to super Tuesday and on to the key original states like Mass.

Also, you still going to reduce the volume and take out the screaming? Love the music, though!

[pauliticalpress]
