End of Quarter Push (New Ticker on ronpaul2012.com)

[truthdivides]

The campaign put up a fundraising ticker for the final days of the quarter. It looks like the goal is $5M for the quarter. We are currently at $3.1M.

[Sentinelrv]

Great! This will really amp up the donations. Spread the word!

[Maximus]

Great picture, get a link up to the iowa projects

[Paul4Prez]

If that's true (the $3.1M so far), it's pretty disappointing, given that two million of the total came in the two one-day money bombs. That's only $13,580 per day for the other 81 days of the quarter so far.

Edit: Actually, Ron Paul didn't declare until 5/13, so the first part of the quarter was probably low for that reason (except for the first debate day money bomb), and the daily average is certainly higher since then.

Time to crank up the total in the next week....

[Sentinelrv]

I think supporters that donated from 2007/2008 are hesitant to get involved this time. If Ron takes Iowa though, this thing is going to blow up.

[hazek]

Finally the ticker graphic is a bit more interesting than just an ordinary horizontal progress-bar but don't you guys remember back in 07 how cool these used to look? I remember we were "filling up" a constitution once and a statue of liberty another time..

I wish the campaign utilized the grassroots a little bit and asked for creative ticker graphics to be donated and used more interesting ones.

[sailingaway]

Then let's get the word out! Any videos that can be remade with a tag line at the end for the end of quarter push, and maybe a link to the Iowa projects? What videos have been made this month? I know I've seen some pretty good new ones!

[MRoCkEd]

Nice!
I think they should move the ticker goal up to $4 or 5M for now though

[sailingaway]

Nice!
I think they should move the ticker goal up to $4 or 5M for now though

I disagree. It SAYS 'let's go for $5 million' and presumably it will move as it gets donations, but this way it shows we are moving past initial goals. The media's coverage, as little as it was last time at all, was all about how we didn't make a 'goal' which was just the end of the donation line. They will still do it with 'let's try for $5 million' but I sure don't want to encourage it.

Meanwhile, we have to get the word out in comment sections and comments on video etc. I haven't seen it anywhere but here and at DP.

[mport1]

Great, another target that we will likely miss. Have they not learned from past money bombs yet?

EDIT: Nevermind. I see that they crossed out 3 million and said let's go for 5. That is a MUCH better idea.

[IndianaPolitico]

Bump! We need to push this hard.

[K466]

This is fantastic. Remember, folks, last race Paul only raised half a million in the same quarter. $5 million would be 10x as good! I expect to make my biggest political donation so far for this effort.

[swissaustrian]

The tragedy is that due to the tough economic conditions the honest hard working people, i.e. the typical Ron Paul supporters, have less money to give compared to 07/08.
At the same time the big coporate special interest cockroaches, i.e. the very UNlikely Ron Paul donors, have sucked up even more money that they can dump on the likes of Romney, Huntsman etc.

My solution to solve this problem would be a campaign donations reform: Allow only those to donate who have the right to vote -> THE PEOPLE.

[Trigonx]

All my overtime money is going to Ron Paul! Gonna try and drop $300 by the end of the month.

[Restore-America-NOW]

No doubt we'll reach 5 million by Sunday night. If we can attract enough enthusiastic supporters there is a chance that in a week, it could reach $10 million.

[Thomas]

loving the thermometer style ticker!

DONATE HERE! Let's fill the Iowa campaign coffers completely by the end of this quarter. We need $737K. That should be easily covered!
Remember -- ALL DONATIONS GIVEN VIA IOWAFORRONPAUL.COM GO DIRECTLY TO THE OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN! This is NOT a "3rd party" organizer.

[erowe1]

Does anyone know if donations to the Iowa projects are included in this?

[sailingaway]

Does anyone know if donations to the Iowa projects are included in this?

Yes, Steve Bierfeldt confirmed they are. If you donate through the Iowa projects link, it dumps you into the campaign web page, but presumably tracks what the money was donated for.

[fatjohn]

I thought Ron Paul would have inspired alot of people to invest in gold and silver. And since those more than doubled and tripled those people must have the firepower to crank this one up. That's why a moneybomb is needed with an economic message, so we can spread it on kitcoforums, goldismoneyforums, zerohedge and others were people have money, are Ron Paul oriented but might not be politically active enough to be aware of the money bombs.

We need to spread it on those forums and the economic message is: we want Ron Paul elected, right?

I don't want to be a downer, and maybe I'm wrong in this. But I think the days of the money bomb are past. It was a gimmick that was newsworthy when it was new, but it isn't any more. We need to come up with something else.

[PaulConventionWV]

I really doubt it.

What could possibly replace the moneybomb?

[BUSHLIED]

For the record, in Q2 2007 Paul raised 2.3 million but he announced his exploratory committee in March 07 so he had the full quarter. This time announced May 13th.
So:

2007--2.3mil\90days=25,555 per day

as of now 2011--- it's 3.1mil\49 days=63,265 per day

if he completes the push to 5mil/51days=100,000 per day.

That would be 4 times the amount last go around.

[erowe1]

What could possibly replace the moneybomb?

That's the kind of question that won't be answered until some creative minds come up with something new, just like the money bomb was new 4 years ago. It reminds me of the people who say, "If the government didn't pay for the roads, then who would?" as if you have some duty to be able to answer that.

Here's one idea to get the ball rolling. How about a phone-a-thon, like what Romney did when he got $10 million in pledges in one day?

We don't have to all fly to some location like his volunteers did. We can do it wherever we are in some designated window of time. We can all sit down and brainstorm ahead of time and write lists of everyone we know whom we think either supports Ron Paul or would support him if asked to, especially all the people we got in contact with in 2008 that we haven't heard from yet this year. And then we can swallow our pride and call them all up one at a time and bluntly ask them to donate or pledge to donate. We can come up with some kind of follow up plan, either by emailing them a link to ronpaul2012 or snail mailing them something to send in along with a little note reminding them what they pledged.

That's just off the top of my head to get the ball rolling. I'm sure other people can come up with things I've never thought of. That garage sale thread is another example (albeit one that is legally suspect).

[K466]

I just got the fundraising email from Paul. It was very good- hit all the main points I was hoping for, including some of Paul's specific plans for the Presidency and mentioning money raised now is worth $5 later. I'm beginning to think this will really be a serious campaign now :D

[MelissaCato]

Ahh where do I grab the ticker code again ?

[xRedfoxx]

ok..added a small donation bump!! woo hoo

Texan's for Ron Paul!!!

[K466]

Ahh where do I grab the ticker code again ?

I don't know, you could try looking at the source code for the page, that should work. Ctrl+U is a shortcut that should bring that up (depending on your browser).

[MelissaCato]

No, nothing. Darn it.

[MJU1983]

$5M should be doable.

They are the same..or at least I pasted that old code into notepad, saved it as .html and it opened up just fine. I'd imagine it should work anywhere

Ya, but that's the debate day moneybomb .. I'd like the new and improved PUSH ticker with the 5 million goal.

BTW, I actually was forwarded to by the campaign to the campaign manager John Tate and he send me this email:

Dear Mr. ---------------------,

Thanks so much for the email and for your strong support of the Ron Paul Presidential Campaign.

While we certainly appreciate all you do and our doing, unfortunately due to FEC rules and regulations the Campaig...n is specifically forbidden from coordinating ANY activities with outside organizations and groups. Especailly anything related to fundraising.

So we would be unable ot send any kind of emails or correspondence promoting ourside efforts.

Thanks so much for all you do.

In Liberty,

John Tate
Campaign Manager

By the progress and news today I think the campaign got the message, thanks Mr. Tate for taking over a lot of the responsibilities :)

What could possibly replace the moneybomb?

How about we have a moneybomb, but instead of an online ticker, we have a real life ticker. Something real and something BIG. Like a giant container next to a mini skyscraper that fills up with water, or fake dollar bills, or gold. or something else cool as people donate online. Maybe make it Iowa themed and fill it up with corn.

[reduen]

I might get the nomination of 2nd place for most over dramatic on these forums but... (I love you all man....!!!)

[ronpaulitician]

I think supporters that donated from 2007/2008 are hesitant to get involved this time. If Ron takes Iowa though, this thing is going to blow up.
I already maxed out this time (and I didn't in 2007/2008).

If less money (or at least, less than hoped for) comes in, it probably will have more to do with complacency. "Plenty of people will donate, so I think I can skip it this time."

[FSP-Rebel]

I wonder if Ron is sending out emails to those on the C4L list, that would be a nice bonus. Also, wonder if Jones is pushing this in any way.

[blakjak]

I haven't received an email from the campaign about this yet. Some people in this thread have... when did those arrive?

[tmg19103]

I have not received an email on this and I always get emails from Ron, Rand, C4L, etc.

The campaign needs to get on this with its email lists.

[sailingaway]

These were physical letters. I got one a couple weeks ago and the same one yesterday, it looked like, saying they needed $3 million more. The Hill published it, without the date.

Wonkette said they got an email, thought.

[RonPaulGetsIt]

[Paul4Prez]

Anyone tracking the daily gains on the ticker? Looks like about $120,000 for Day 1? I didn't note yesterday's total, and I'm off by an hour or so....

[1836]

So can anyone tell me, is the ticker the amount raised for the ENTIRE quarter? Or is it online funding only?

I know in 07-08, there was often a lag in adding physical donations to tickers. While I hope we have raised more than this, it's not a bad total so far if it is all we've raised.

That sounds a lot like what we already do, minus the mass organized calling list. I think you're thinking about it too much. The moneybomb has something that nothing else ever will. It's the most practical way to create spontaneous uprising of excitement and unity in a particular cause. Your money becomes worth more because it shows your support. It's not just dropping something in a bucket. It's part of a huge support network that you can contribute to and not only feel good about it, but have the whole world see what you were a part of. No, I don't think anything can replace the moneybomb. I also think if you want to get rid of it, you most certainly should come up with something to replace it. It's on your shoulders if you want to take that action.

Nobody said anything about getting rid of money bombs. I'm not going to tell people not to donate on any given day, and I'll probably keep donating for money bombs myself.

But it we want Ron Paul to win, we might need to come up with something newer and better. You say we can't. I say we might have to. If so, then it's on all of our shoulders.

[Restore-America-NOW]

We're not making any money! We've only made about $150,000 in the last day. We need to spread the word if this is to be a successful moneybomb!!

[stefank]

we should have a ron paul raffle for every 20 dollars you donate you get a ticket. Then we can give away cool prizes and a grand prize of 10000 dollars that should boost donations alot

You might want to check the legality of this. I know that, for certain charities, we cannot hold 50/50 raffles or anything that seems like a lottery or raffle. I would assume the laws are only more restrictive when it comes to campaign contributions.

Josh, really wish you would embed RP2012 ticker on front page as Nystrom has done on Daily Paul?

That is an idea for keeping the ticker. Have it to where it was like last time where anybody could display it on their site. This way, if the official campaign feels that they need to take it down off of their site, it can still be up on other nonofficial sites.

[Paul4Prez]

My unofficial tally, as of 9 PM PDT (the ticker goes until midnight Pacific -- not sure if the last 3 hours on 6/30 will count, if they do, that will be gravy):

6/22 Start: $3.101M, on pace for $3.71M at $75K per day ($3.101M divided by 41 days since campaign kickoff on 5/13)
6/23 Thur: $3.233M, $132K that day, on pace for $4.16M at $132K per day
6/24 Fri: $3.327M, $94K day, $4.00M pace at $113K per day
6/25 Sat: $3.463M, $136K day, $4.07M pace at $120K per day

According to the graph on the DailyPaul, donations shot up when he sent out an email. I have noticed that the campaign hasn't posted AT ALL about the push on their 400,000 fan facebook page.

[Maximus]

Just broke $3,500,000!

Campaign should send an email in the morning, and get on the Facebook account and urge people to donate

[Paulatized]

I think they need to really emphasis the Iowa Project in an email. I don't understand why this has not been done as most people are not aware of this specific need. A more narrowly focused pitch would create more interest in donating and possibly fill up the Iowa coffers and would go a long way toward reaching the $5 million.

I think going with a more narrow specific approach for a while would break up the money bomb lag (a drop in the ocean effect) and cause people to feel they are making an impact in a specific area of need as they see their pet project fill up and maybe cause a feeling of ownership in a particular area of interest. Maybe even outside the Iowa Project area, have a Help Ron Paul Protect the Constitution fundraiser where people have the opportunity to donate to specific Constitutional areas of interest, ex. 2nd amendment or free speech and they could watch their interest fill up.

Just a early morning thought.

Has anyone put a graph of this ticker's progress up anywhere?

Grabbed this from Daily Paul. Don't know who controls or has access to the underlying spreadsheet though.

I wonder what the curve for a 'five day money bomb' looks like or if this will be entirely different. The short money bombs all sort of followed the same curve.

[FriedChicken]

I don't want to be a downer, and maybe I'm wrong in this. But I think the days of the money bomb are past. It was a gimmick that was newsworthy when it was new, but it isn't any more. We need to come up with something else.

One day to go, but it is payday....

[Paul4Prez]

Looks like we're on track for $4.01 million by midnight EDT tomorrow. Any predictions?

I'll go with $4,689,100.76

Just hit the half-million mark for today: $4.397M (was $3.897M last night at midnight EDT).

Not too far off: $4,450,107.12 showed up on my computer at the stroke of midnight.

That's $1.349M during the end of quarter push, or $168,625 per day for the past 8 days.

Not over yet, i imagine the campaign will use the furthest deadline possible as to pad numbers the best they can which would be a PST deadline. Keep pushing!

Can someone tell me what the total is now? I'm on my I phone with out flash!

So over the past week or so we have raised over $1 mil?

[reduen]

Nice! A big thank you popped up when the time ran out....

Then I am telling the future for you... lol (or I just spoiled the surprise...)

[MJU1983]

What's the cutoff time? EST? Or will they go until it's 1-July in Hawaii?

[aowen]

oh, I forgot about Hawaii. that means there is another 4.5 hours left.

[Uriah]

Hawaii and Alaska have some time yet. There may be offline donations that haven't been added to the ticker yet. I'd say upwards of $4.7 mil. We'll see.

[MelissaWV]

An FEC Filing Deadline does not go by Hawaii time. I have no idea why people got the impression this would have the same kind of timezone-following that a regular, no-deadline money bomb would have, except that the ticker synchs to your computer's clock (so it showed "time remaining" in your timezone).

Well, I wouldn't worry yourself with it all that much. Its just a group of people having fun raising some money for Ron Paul. Also, not many people put money in after 12:00 EST. Personally, I maxed out on June 29th.
