View Full Version : The Push to $100,000

I say we organize a Mini-Bomb for Kokesh's campaign in one week on September 2. His site says $100,000 to clear the field, so let's pull our resources and get the man to $100,000. Judging by his ticker it looks like he's already got somewhere around $65,000, which means we'd only need to raise $35,000 to get him where he needs to be.

I personally think a week should be enough to get the word out since this is such a small amount of money compared to what we've been doing with Rand and Peter's campaign. I see no reason why we couldn't break $100,000.

Who's with it?

Anyone with any photoshop skills willing to make a banner we can spread for this? If not I can get a friend of mine to do one up in a few days, but that's less time to promote it. I have no personal skill in this department lol. :p

Count me in to help.

I've got access to the last Kokesh money bomb list, as well, to help us get started.

You guys rock :)

We are just under $70k, a mini bomb to push over would be great.

We are in a transition mode, from skeleton crew to semi-staffed... The Campaign Manager is still doing Media, but we have welcomed Andrew Sharp (Communications Director) and Mark Johnson (Fundraising Director) this week. We all went into the woods last weekend for a team-building / structure setting "retreat" and will be spending the next two weeks doing a lot of internal organization stuff. Expect the blogs to begin to take reflect the evolving protocols

Adam has been meeting with Gubernatorial Candidates and other high profile political types since I have been here. Last week Adam and I went and manned the GOP booth at the Roosevelt County Fair. (I made a great connection with the Sheriff, who offered to volunteer:D). Adam and Tina went last night to a "wine and cheese" party at the Santa Fe GOP chairs house and was quite the hit. Today, the two of us head out to Clovis for a "meet the candidate" event organized by the "High Plains Patriots". I'll bring cameras and post a recap for you all.

That's great, were you going to contact them and let them know?

I just e-mailed the Daily Paul to see if they'd announce this in their news feed. Any other websites we should get in contact with? I'm really only familiar with this site and the Daily Paul.

Still looking for someone to put an image together to help promote this, if anybody is interested in helping out.

That sounds like an event in which mushrooms would be involved. ;)

Thanks for the update.

Oh? Can I expect an Alex Jones expose' in the near future?

Eh, what the heck. I'm in.

Well he's already running, but I don't know that it's all he'll need. It's certainly a nice start, however.

Well i'm going on vacation this saturday for a week, but i can help organize this once i'm back.

Nayjevin and i put together www.thisjuly4th.com and I would be more than willing to help build another one for the new money bomb, once i'm back from vacation.

If any of you want to take the initiative to build a money bomb site for Kokesh, i can provide you with free high quality web-hosting, professional word-press templates, and will buy the domain, if we can decided on a good one.

Sounds good. I'm personally not much of a web developer outside of wordpress so maybe Josh can just hook us up with the template or something?

Hey everyone! This is Mark Johnson the fundraising coordinator for the Adam Kokesh campaign. RonPaulHawaii, who sits right behind me, suggested I check these forums out. I have to tell you, it is getting me fired up to see the effort you, the grassroots, is putting into this campaign. That is exactly what this campaign is, a grassroots campaign, so we really appreciate everything you do. If you ever need anything just let me know. Thank you all very much for your efforts.

Does anyone have any ideas on a date for this? It doesn't make any sense for us to leave Adam sitting at only $70,000 when we could easily get him to $100,000 and beyond.

$30k on the 30th would put the campaign over the $100k level, right before the end of the 3rd quarter

:D

Up to you guys...
