September 17th is constitution day. There are roughly 5,000 words in the full text of the Constitution of the United States (Bill of Rights included). I propose a money bomb for this date, but instead of having the usual donations ticker, we use the text of the constitution. To explain: the graphic will start out as an empty piece of parchment and for every $x donated another word will appear until eventually it includes the full text, the bill of rights and all of the appropriate signatures. As I was writing this I also came up with the idea that perhaps all those who donate (and choose to have their name public, like on the traditional donations ticker) can be included with the signatures at the bottom of the document to show support for the Constitution.
I believe that people may find this to be a better incentive to donate than the usual ticker used for money bombs. I would definitely be much more upset to see the constitution left incomplete than to see a red bar not get tall enough.
I know that there is a lot of discussion about money bombs recently and September 17 may be too close to yesterday's Ames money bomb, so I'm just looking for feedback.
Thoughts?
