All,
Over the past few days many of us have participated in sending massive amounts of faxes to our "friends" on the hill.
Someone coined the phrase "F-bomb" for this in this thread
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=158195
Several members signed up and send 350 faxes with varying degrees of automation in these two threads.

Now today after I got home from work I went looking for a better fax provider and I have found one, they allow you to send up to 7,000 faxes per month for a low cost of $8.95 - I have tested the service with the help of a couple members here that have fax machines and they are for real.
What I'd like to do is create a website that has a step by step guide on how to signup for this service and send faxes to the entire house and senate.
Once the first setup is done I estimate that sending a fax to ALL members of both houses will take less than a minute.
What we need to get this off the ground.
#1 A domain - throw me some ideas, I bought faxbomb.us (tagline "please faxbomb.us with pics of our representatives as a header?) but if someone has a better idea post it up - I have a prefunded domain account.
#2 Hosting - I have hosting as well
#3 Design - This I'll need help with - I can put a basic site up but I know there are some AWESOME designers on here that can help with this.
#4 A movie on how to set this whole she-bang up (got this covered - coming tomorrow along with the guide for the fax site)
#5 People willing to spend $8.95 a month to be on board with this
#6 Other ideas, cmon I KNOW I didn't think of everything here...
My vision for this is we setup the site to show folks how to do this and then post up a "F-Bomb of the week" as chosen by a voting panel for us all to send at least once (preferably on the same day of the week) If we all send the same thing on the same day to ALL of our reps it will have a greater effect than one person sending it one day others sending it another.
Also - with the amount of credits the fax site provides there will be plenty of extra credits that you could use to fax whatever you felt strongly about that week.
This has the potential to be huge guys.
Who's in?
