Ron Paul 2012 begins here...

[Elwar]

On December 16th, 1773, The Boston Tea Party helped ignite the American Revolution by dumping tea into the Boston Harbor.

On December 16th, 2007 The Ron Paul Tea Party "dumped" over $6 Million into the Ron Paul presidential campaign in one day, igniting a second American Revolution.

This December 16th we will send them a message they won't forget.

Our goal: 100,000 people donating $100 each to give Ron Paul
$10 million to kick off a 2012 presidential campaign.

"But let it not be said that we did nothing. Let not those who love the power of the welfare/warfare state label the dissenters of authoritarianism as unpatriotic or uncaring. Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security. Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of individual liberty." - Ron Paul

I have a tiny criticism on the website.

The selections are to the right of the amounts:

$50 [] $100 [] $200 [] etc.

Most people are used to clicking to the left of something to select it, so you are setting yourself up for an accidentally low monetary total. Someone should fix that format.

[UtahApocalypse]

Hope you don't mind me working out some graphics for the site :)

This could be epic. With this long to plan, spread, and get people involved I bet we could do more then 10 million even.

Good call. I'll move them over.


Thanks.

Any graphics or videos for the site would be great. I'm not all that great with art, just code. :)

[Elwar]

I think having the pledge amount could set it apart from previous money bombs because some people would be willing to pledge higher giving more incentive for others.

Agreed. Keep this bumped and promoted.

[garyallen59]

getting a facebook page set up for this and linking to the site will be a huge step in getting many involved

[UtahApocalypse]

Very rough first draft idea.......

[Bruno]

like it a lot, but not sure about the font ^

[sofia]

heres an idea...

start a chip in to promote the promotion

start collecting donations NOW to be used for the mass marketing of the pledge site...

we need internet banner ads to appear on every conservative, libertarian, alternative website...

literature for local Tea Parties

perhaps even run radio ads to promote the Tea Party bomb...run the ads on Beck show.

we would not only being promoting the Tea Party...but also in essence be doing grassroots markting for Ron Paul....

we would induce the media tocover the buildup to the event this way...making it even bigger

[leonster]

I pledged $200.

[sofia]

just pledged a C-Note

[John Taylor]

I'm in for 500.

I think we should all get Hostettler 50 grand or so in the next few days to help him pull off the upset, getting him, Rand, and Schiff in the Senate would be huge boosts for Ron's campaign for President next year.

[rprprs]

Pledged $200, but probably in for a lot more when the time comes.

[shaunish]

his age will make him unelectable to the masses.

we need to switch our focus to gary johnson.

[Paulitical Correctness]

Look at the media's obstacles we overcame during the last cycle. Age? Pfffttt.

While the media is an immovable object, WE are an unstoppable force. Should be interesting. :D

[sofia]

site also needs to have more options for amounts...it goes from 200 to 2400...

should have an "other" option too

[Elwar]

site also needs to have more options for amounts...it goes from 200 to 2400...

should have an "other" option too

Hmm, I could've swore I set it to $500, then $2,400...

I figured that the next higher values would be $1,000, $1,500 and $2,000...


But if you're going to be donating $1,000...then you're in the ballpack of being able to max out your pledge.

In all actuality, I did a paper on the moneybomb concept for my Organizational Behavior class back in the fall. The smaller denominations are good for a pledge site. Once someone commits to something, even just by signing a petition or donating $5, they tend to be willing to give more support down the road.

Not to get too off topic, but there was a research paper done where a group wanted to get some money for a park for the handicapped. They went out first to half of the community and asked them to sign a petition stating that they supported having the park put in. Then a week or two later they went out and collected donations from the whole community. They found that those who had signed the petition donated significantly more toward the park than the half that hadn't even seen the petition. Those that had signed committed themselves to feeling that they supported that cause. And when asked later to contribute, they were merely following through with their support.

I've set it up so you can change your pledge amount in the user settings...

Who will have access to this e-mail list? Although none of us want unsolicited spam, none of us likely want one person to maintain a monopoly on access to this list either. In other words, how can access to this e-mail list be available for other grassroots' projects without unduly subjecting the list to spammers? Personally, I'm more concerned about restricting access to the list than spam.

I've only done one other moneybomb and I also have a pledge sign-up for garyjohnson2012.com.

I will only use the e-mail list for anything related to the site. Any big updates, the moneybomb day, etc.

I think I only sent an e-mail out to the garyjohnson2012 folks once, toward the beginning when we reached 100 pledges and GJ announced his ouramericainitiative site. I never used the e-mails from the moneybomb site other than a mailing on the moneybomb day.

I already get too much spam from the various Ron Paul sites I signed up on. I don't want to pile on to that spam.

[Elwar]

$10,000!

this sounds like a great plan. I like sofias idea of creating a CHIP-IN to help market the actual moneybomb!!

I would be a bit wary of making this a site theme. It makes it sound like Dr. Paul is only not declaring because the money's not there. If he runs, it will be for far better reasons than money ;)

i think the emphasis should be on the Boston Tea Party

we want to send a clear message to the Tea Party crowd that Ron owns the Tea Party movement

I agree, let people know that Dec. 16, 2007 Ron Paul had a Tea Party that raised $6 million for his campaign.

The gears in people's brains might start working and start to realize what's really going on here.

[PermanentSleep]

We at the height are ready to decline.
There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.

A video promo would help. :)

A few things it could use: graphics, promo video, links to social sites.

For the graphics, you could have a contest. Set up a chip-in for prize money.

For a promo video, you could also have a contest, or just recruit Aravoth (he's due for a new video :D). Set up a chip-in for prize money.

Set up pages for it at facebook, myspace, youtube and everywhere else. If you don't have time to do it, just ask for volunteers. Put links to everywhere; facebook page, myspace page, youtube page, this thread, topic at Daily Paul, meetups, twitter, CFL, whatever.

There are a hell of a lot of tools available, use them all and connect them all together. I think that's going to be the key in internet success this time around.

Get in touch with ronpaulgraphs.com, he can probably even set up graphs for the current pledges.

Ask people to spread it. Put up sample text that people can copy/paste to send email to friends.

Create apps for iphone, droid, google, flash banners, etc. I'm sure there are people here that know how to put them together quick.

That's all I got for now, any other ideas?

All great ideas. I've set up a Facebook page and a twitter account for it. I created a video, though it's fairly rudimentary. An Avaroth video showing how Ron Paul was at the heart of the modern Tea Party would kick ass...

I didn't do MySpace, it's blocked at work...if someone wants to create one I'll link to it.

I'll probably get something set up for the graphs. Fortunately the data's all in a database that I can spit numbers out of in any way I need.

[Galileo Galilei]

30 reasons Why Ron Paul can win in 2012 (Summary)

Here is a summary of what Ron Paul has going for him to win the GOP nomination in 2012:

1) Rand Paul is winning by 15% in the Kentucky Senate primary. He is beating both democrats in the general election. If Rand can win, Ron Paul can win.

2) Ron Paul won the CPAC Straw Poll. When Ron Paul wins nationally promoted straw polls, it creates the perception he can win. Ron will win the next CPAC poll as well, next February.

3) Ron Paul just won his House seat primary by a whopping 70%. He won 81% to 11%. Ron Paul will grab more headlines when he wins the general election in November.

This creates the perception Ron can win. The greatest enemy to Ron is the mass media created perception that he can't win.

4) Ron Paul has often been described as irrelevant because he has never sponsored major legislation into law, nor has he ever even gained national media for his legislation. That has now changed. Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill has passed the House with 317 sponsors, and is in the Senate with over 30 sponsors. This legislation is not going away. It will keep Ron Paul in the news during all of this year and 2011 for his legislative work. Rand Paul in the Senate also makes a big difference here.

5) The Tea Party movement backs Ron Paul. The only other leading GOP contender who has any tea party appeal is Sarah Palin. Mitt Romney is a phony and is not fooling anyone.

6) Every four years, we get an age shift in voters. New young voters tend to back Ron Paul, while old voters who have died since 2008 do not support Ron Paul. A four year shift is about 7% of the electorate.

7) Newspapers are against Ron Paul; they are going out of business or their circulation is declining. The Internet supports Ron Paul and it is on the rise.

8) Paul's leading contenders are Sarah Palin, Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney, and Mike Huckabee (if he runs).

All these candidates have weaknesses.

Huckabee has a cushy TV job, and doesn't seem ambitious enough to run.

Palin is widely viewed as unqualified to be president and has less money than Ron Paul. Her poll numbers are very weak at this time, considering her immense media coverage.

Romney is a strong candidate, but he is a Mormon which hurts him among Christian conservatives. He was also a pro-abortion liberal governor of Massachusetts who now says he is a pro-life conservative. In other words, he's a phony. He does not anywhere near the organization of Ron Paul. And Romney supported Romneycare.

Pawlenty is the NWO choice for president. But he has low name recognition and is boring. He's also a liberal republican Governor from Minnesota with little appeal for conservatives. He is counting on the NWO media to help him.

9) The Economy; the weak economy plays into Ron Paul's hands to some extent.

10) End the Fed - Ron Paul's book gives him another outlet for his message. Unlike Mitt Romney's book, which is stone cold boring, people actually read Ron Paul's books. Ron has another book coming out before the next election.

11) Ron Paul is good for TV ratings and is getting a lot of national TV interviews on cable news like Fox, CNN, MSNBC and CNBC. Rand Paul is also getting a lot of national TV interviews. Judge Napolitano has a new TV show on Fox that promotes Paul's ideas.

12) Voters are getting used to Ron Paul's "odd" ideas.

13) Ron Paul is 74, but has the health and spunk of a 60 year old; he's not too old to run for president and serve one term in office.

14) Fund-raising - In the 4th quarter of 2007, Ron Paul was the # 1 GOP fundraiser. This was when he was below 10% in the polls. He will raise a lot more if he is at 10%-30% in the polls. Ron Paul could end up with more money to spend than Mitt Romney.

There is a $10 million dollar moneybomb already set up for the Boston Tea Party on December 16.

15) The NWO sets the pecking order when they start to do polls in early 2011. In 2007, Ron Paul was at 1% in these polls. Ron Paul will be at a minimum of 10% in the early 2011 polls, putting him among the viable contenders from the beginning.

16) The Wars in the Middle East - People are getting sick of these wars, and Ron Paul opposes them. Democrats who found out Obama was a phony might support Ron Paul.

17) 2012 is the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, and will gain national attention. Interesting that the president during the War of 1812 was none other than James Madison, the Father of the U.S. Constitution.

James Madison is the ONLY president to follow the Constitution during a major war. Despite an invasion from the British Empire that included the burning of Buffalo and Washington, a siege upon Baltimore, and attack on New Orleans, the capture of Detroit, an Atlantic ocean naval blockade, and a secession movement in Hartford, Connecticut, James Madison never claimed special war powers, arrested dissidents, issued war propaganda, had a draft, or suspended habeas corpus, despite going up against the worlds greatest power with no income tax, no central bank, and not much of an army of navy. And we won it, gaining free trade for all American on the Great Lakes, Atlantic ocean, Mississippi river, West Indies, and Mediterranean Sea.

Word of what James Madison did in the War of 1812 might leak out to the people in 2011 and 2012.

18) A lot of people are getting sick of the war on drugs. Neither Bush or Obama will even consider legalizing medical marijuana, an issue which polls at 80% in favor of.

19) Ron Paul is the only candidate who can talk intelligently about the U.S. Constitution.

20) People are sick of the health care bill, and Ron Paul has credibility in opposing it. Ron Paul is also a medical doctor.

21) The Campaign For Liberty, Ron Paul's PAC, is raising lots of cash and forging many ties with key GOP leaders at the state level.

22) Rand Paul got the endorsements of the Ronald Reagan PAC, Sarah Palin, Steve Forbes, and the Gun Owners of America. Expect to see Ron Paul get some major endorsements, if Rand Paul can. Rand also got endorsements from Jim Bunning, Jim DeMint, Kentucky Right-to-Life, the Kentucky Credit Union Association, and James Dobson.

23) Ron Paul voted against all the bank bailouts.

24) Ron Paul has an army of volunteers that will hit every straw poll, from CPAC to the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, to the county GOP straw poll at the annual meeting of John Doe County in all 50 States. He is going to win almost all of them.

25) Ron Paul has enough support to win the Ames Iowa Straw Poll in the summer of 2011. He got 1300 votes in 2007, and needs only about 5000 to win.

26) Ron Paul tied for first in the Southern Republican Leadership Conference Straw Poll on April 11. Ron will rpobabaly win the critical Value Voters Summit Straw poll on September 19 in Washington, DC, a key religious right event.

27) Young people will talk their parents and grandparents into voting for Ron Paul. They will vote for their children's future.

28) Ron Paul always shines in the TV debates. This time around he will get more attention by the post debate pundits.

29) Ron Paul can win the Iowa Caucus.

30) Ron Paul has enough support lined up to win the Nevada caucus and the Louisiana Caucus, both of which precede Super Tuesday. Ron needs to run a smarter campaign this time for the New Hamphire primary, perhaps using Rand Paul's strategy. If he does, he can win NH.

The selections are to the right of the amounts:

Most people are used to clicking to the left of something to select it, so you are setting yourself up for an accidentally low monetary total. Someone should fix that format.

THE TIME HAS COME is an awesome slogan, and I love the weathered-in look of the poster.

For aesthetics, I prefer the second, but it doesn't give a date. The date seems pretty important to me, so I'd have to go with the third as overall the best.

Can you keep the #2 template but shrink down the typing of "Tea party money bomb" from the third. Then add the date at the end in the same font.

Tea party money bomb Dec 16.

Has anyone done any background checks to make sure this guy isn't a web scammer
that will vanish with the cash?

I would actually prefer donating if it was set up on a special page on the ronpaulforums.com
website. What would be even better is that all the donated money would be set up in a
Euro Pacific Capital account & the money donated would be converted to gold. This way
the donations will be worth more by 2012. :)

odds are he saw we were getting pledges and he thought to himself i better get my bomb going,, oo welllll

let me guess trevor never bothered to contact you either!!

[Elwar]

It's all good. Both efforts have the same goal. To get Ron Paul a bunch of money to start his campaign.

If Ron Paul kicks off his campaign before Dec. 16, then the moneybomb will be on Dec. 16 (unless he announces in like August...which would not happen).

If Ron Paul doesn't kick off his campaign before Dec. 16, then those who pledged for The Ron Paul Tea Party can decide if they want to give money to CFL or his congressional race, or wait until he announces and we all donate at once.

Either way, we're going to give Ron Paul 10 million reasons to run.

He will run. It's time to decide what your role will be in his 2012 election campaign.

"Ron Paul 2012" begins when Congressman Paul decides to officially run again. Stop treating him like a rock star.

[Peace&Freedom]

Correct. Wait six months until the dust has settled on the midterm elections---specifically, after Rand Paul is elected. Then we can push for Paul to make the plunge by filing a new exploratory committee by late November. Then give him a massive haul via initial money bomb on Dec. 16 that convinces him to go for it.

An exploratory by November 2011 would put him smack dab into the final debates.

Exploratory comittees will start going in late December 2010 or January 2011.

To wait is to sacrifice time that can be used to prepare.

It's about 90% likely that Ron Paul will run for the 2012 election. Why wait?

I was referring to November 2010, end of THIS year to start up. Paul has made clear he isn't doing anything until after the mid term elections, anyway.

I look at it this way Ron Paul 2012 is ON!!!!! The day after 2010 Nov elections it is on as well! We will win locally in 2010. If Ron Paul doesn't announce in Dec 2010 or in 2011. then my vote and money will go elsewhere!! By Nov 2010 it is our goal to have control county wide and win many elections in Colorado! the GOP will live or die on its own!!! let Liberty Live no matter the party! i look at it this way. The GOP can either follow us or lose as it gets out of the way!!!

Ron Paul 2012, i do not need to wait for any announcements, Our announcements locally will be in 2010. When we elect a Ron Paul republican to join the Ron Paul Dem on county seat!!! The GOP better hope to GOD Ron Paul announces in DEC 2010. The failed GOP leadership better do everything in their power to make sure Ron Paul Wins the nomination! the GOP without Ron Paul is nothing at all!! maybe the GOP wants to prove this theory? I will be more then happy to show them the light!! Liberty Candidates 2010, Ron Paul 2012, the line in the sand has been drawn with or without the GOP!! Nov 2010 elections will prove this! the dust will settle the next day anyone that cannot see after this will be of no concern to me politically;)


just my 2 cents

[Elwar]

We can't just be Ron Paul supporters.

Each and every one of us need to be Ron Paul activists.

The other candidates have the media and big business to get the word out. Ron Paul only has his activists. Get ready to get word out to everyone that you can. Your competition is your local media.

Will you be ready?

Welcome back! We're doing it again for 2012!!!

[ProBlue33]

As I watched the press conference with Rand Paul, Ron looked so old and frail, Rand looked fresh invigorated and went right after Obama.

I think once his son wins the senate seat, he will urge his son to run "as I am getting to old for this", he will fully support and do everything in his power to help his son.

2012 will be a year for a Paul just not the one we thought.

agreed...

let him serve as a US Senator for about 30 days.....then we draft him!

No one can shit cuz Obama started forming exploratory committees just months after he was sworn in

Don't you think that would scare some people though, considering what a noob Obama has been?

[AcousticFoodie]

How in line is Rand Paul with his father's philosophies? I mean Bush senior at least had the sense to risk reelection and violate his promise to not raise taxes when the budget deficit was getting too high...something Bush Jr didn't really care about.
