upvote the Ron Paul Birthday Bomb!

My first 3 submissions were rejected because I was trying to mention that the MSM would rather you ignore him.

They certainly do, depends on the subreddit.
If this made it to the reddit frontpage, it could be good for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Timing is key, and I think I timed it perfectly.

Now everyone needs to get this upvoted, talk to your friends who are on reddit, get them to vote it up. Front page in 6 hours would be perfect.

You should have seen /r/politics before the mods started doing that. It was much worse. It's still really bad.

Currently at bottom of /r/politics front page for "hot"

Moving up quick, keep spreading santorum

Its cooking now, the tide might be turning on reddit, mostly thanks to Jon Stewert. 80% like for Ron Paul on r/politics is unheard of.

I've never had a submission rejected, that's surprising to me for r/politics

I agree the tide is turning. :)

Also, I think in your op, you should simply tell users here to go to the reddit.com/r/subreddit/new page and upvote.

I believe their algorithm detects link sharing. It's more natural the other way if we just timely remind people to check the /new category.

Upvoted. :)

Its some sort of algorithm that calculates the acceleration of the story based on points and time since submitted. We are doing well, just saw it at #15 on r/politics.

#7! For those of you who already voted, go to the Daily Paul article (http://www.dailypaul.com/175442/got-the-moneybomb-on-the-front-page-of-r-politics-can-you-help)and help vote that up to the front page so we can get more votes on Reddit. If this gets to the front page then so many more people will be exposed to the money bomb.

Reddit is huge guys, this should be our top priority for the next two hours. Reach out to any Ron Paul supporter you know. You don't even need an email to sign up for the site, just instantly make a username and password.

The mods censored you for saying the mainstream media was ignoring him?

Common guys and gals! Can I convince you to sign up quickly, no e-mail required for a Reddit account and upvote this Moneybomb?
If we can organize on Reddit we can expose Ron Paul to Millions of new people.
So register for an account and lets get Ron Paul on the front page of Reddit every time we want too.
