If we could get 10,000 people to donate $200 on Christmas day. That would be $2,000,000 in one day!

It's far more easy in terms of gathering willing individuals than the impossible 11/05 plan.

And with such a period in between you could save slowly while continuing to donate at your regular pace.

What do you guys thing?

I told my whole family no gifts for me just donate to RP. (3 parents, 2 sisters, wife and 2 kids) should be 1k or so :)

Perhaps it could be a multi-pronged approach.

Surrender your Christmas to Paul. I think most everyone I know that I buy gifts for and they for me would understand/accept this. Except my girlfriend.

...And I don't think her neocon parents would be willing to donate to Paul for me.

yes and if we can get 20,000 people to donate $200 it would be $4,000,000 in one day....

and if we can get 1,000,000 people to donate a $10,000 each that would be $10 BILLION

I think everyone here is capable of doing math :)

Sorry I don't mean to be harsh but all these threads are getting a little silly. Ron Paul has succeeded thus far by everyone here believing in him and contributing in their own small way, there's no reason to obsess about "if we get 10,000 people to do this"... etc... let's just do our small part and hope for the best.

right now everyone needs to grab some slim jims and hit the streets, the parking lots, etc.... these ideas of spamming say a million people, asking for $200 and hoping 10,000 will donate is getting silly. Hard work will win this race, plain and simple. If you can find 3 people to donate $200 then great. If the other 9,997 don't materialize it's still a great accomplishment.

People will begin shopping soon, so If you want them to donate for you tell them now. Yes there are many pie in the sky donation threads, but this to me has merit.

Xmas for RP a stocking full of liberty and Freedom.

Thank you.
its still daylight in Tx why are you here and not out passing out slimjims? BTW while doing that call your family and frinds and ask them to donate instead of buying you gifts this Xmas. I think people on here can multi-task this simple idea.

Amen. If you can donate, donate NOW! It doesn't help to wait for Nov 5 or Christmas, or any other specific day.

Christ, you guys can be quite bastardy some times.

I'm not saying we SPAM anybody.

We are an intricate lot. We have 40,000 meetup members.

Last quarter there were supposedly 32,000+ individual donors and only 3%

IF WE JUST KEEP THE WORD OUT THERE THIS COULD PICK UP STEAM.

AND I don't want us to focus all of efforts on this and not donate until Christmas.

Scrape $10 bucks here and there and we easily have $200 without effecting our current outflow.
