SupervoterBomb.com direct-mail RevPAC project launched!

[AdamT]

I'm pleased to finally unveil a project I've been working on behind the scenes here at RevPAC for the last couple of weeks.

SupervoterBomb.com (http://supervoterbomb.com/)

The new Bloomberg poll yesterday has revealed Ron Paul is running neck and neck for first place in Iowa. Well, we're going to put him well over the hump by direct-mailing two informative literature pieces directly to 200,000 Republican "Supervoters" - 100K in Iowa and another 100K in New Hampshire. A Supervoter is someone who has voted in the 2008 and 2010 Republican primaries - the exact people we need to reach and inform them about how Ron Paul is hands down the best candidate to support for the Republican nomination.

The envelopes we intend to direct-mail will include one of RonPaulProduct.com's beautiful and informative Super Brochures, and a copy of the "For Liberty Re-cut" DVD, which has woken up untold numbers of people about Ron Paul and the message of Liberty. We're going to specifically tailor the DVD to feature specific add-on videos describing Ron's foreign policy, and that he receives the most donations from the military.

Also in the envelope will be a personalized letter from New York Times' best-selling author, and Honorary Chairman of RevolutionPAC, Thomas E. Woods. In the letter (and in a way only he can), Tom will encourage the recipients to carefully review our mailed materials before going to the polls to vote for Ron Paul. Tom Woods people!

We've ran the numbers, and for the unbelievably low cost of only $1.20/each we can deliver one envelope to one Supervoter. The envelopes themselves can be printed with color artwork and graphics (design still in progress). We will blanket Iowa's Supervoters first, then move the project to focus on New Hampshire.

We need your help to make this direct-mailing project a success. We can absolutely boost Ron's poll numbers, and put him solidly above the chaff by going directly to Republican primary Supervoters with these informative and educational lit pieces.

Hit up the Supervoter Bomb Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ron-Paul-Supervoter-Bomb/137121679728231) and give it some Likes and Shares! We need everyone's help to spread this around as quickly as possible.

We have to do our mailings in batches of 30,000 envelopes to get the best possible bulk rate, which will cost $36,000/batch. With the Iowa caucus only 48 days from now, and the New Hampshire primary just 55 days, there's absolutely no time to waste.

All in all, we have to raise $240k to successfully blanket the 200,000 Iowa and New Hampshire Supervoters. The deadline is set for Dec 1st. Let's get started.

[trey4sports]

sweeet!

[harikaried]

Curious, is it any cheaper to print the movie on 8-cm MiniDVD discs? They hold 1.4 GB as opposed to the usual 4.7GB.

i imagine they will be using throwaway dvd's. Typically they are good for 10 or so plays and then they're fried. Cheaper than regular dvd's though.

[V3n]

And there's a TICKER!

RPF's love tickers!!

[CaptUSA]

When these go out, let us know so we can generate some word-of-mouth buzz. For example, a neighbor asking another neighbor, "Did you get that DVD the Paul camp sent? Did you watch it?! Whoa!" The DVD's are great, but they only work when people watch them. I think we can help you with that.

[AdamT]

That includes the envelope, stamp, super brochure, dvd, and other printed materials?

Printed 11" x 5.25" envelope, Super Brochure, DVD, Tom's letter, bulk postage, buying the NH list (already have IA), insertion & mailing service, and CC processing fees.

[SchleckBros]

This is awesome. I will definitely donate next week.

[harikaried]

AdamT, any idea how this will coordinate with http://www.ronpaulproducts.com/mailing to make sure people don't get a supervotebomb mailing and an individual super brochure mailing?

[Lord Xar]

Adam,

Will your "blanket" over-lap the list ronpaulproducts will have?

In other words - will all of his districts/precincts be covered by your strategy or no?

[ProBlue33]

This is money well spent as these are the people who will ultimately decide who wins this primary. And newer younger voters that have never voted before will be internet savvy, and most likely be voting for Paul anyways. The baby boomers these are going to will decide who wins this.

[bluesc]

This is a great project.

[trey4sports]

is there anyway we could see the specific recut? If i understand correctly you're going to be including some sections about FP not in the current recut?

[John F Kennedy III]

Great job :)

[AdamT]

AdamT, any idea how this will coordinate with http://www.ronpaulproducts.com/mailing to make sure people don't get a supervotebomb mailing and an individual super brochure mailing?

Right now their automated mailings are going to FL only. If they expand to other states it will be to regular Republican voters only. There are a lot more of them though, something like 700,000 regular republican voters and 100,000 supervoters in IA - for around 800,000 total. Not sure about NH's regular's yet. And then it depends if you include independents as well....these are all different lists you can buy.



Adam,

No, I'm working with them to ensure we're not wasting resources by double mailing. Basically there are 2 kinds of lists, Supervoters & all Republican voters (and indies too). They are separated, and we're just going to be working with the SV lists.

[IndianaPolitico]

Does REVPAC have any money set aside already for this? I think this is a great idea! Really happy to see them do this!

[AdamT]

Does REVPAC have any money set aside already for this? I think this is a great idea! Really happy to see them do this!

Not really. That said, we are still working on large donors but so far the ones we've found want to invest in Youtube specific targeted pre-roll campaigns (this is actually pretty slick & effective - believe it or not, you can target up to 66% of likely Republican voters on Youtube and elsewhere on the web, and even break it down to states). We just interviewed a potential high level fundraiser to tap into the general conservative market. But it's tough, you have to not be too "Ron Paul" or they get scared off. Things are moving along, albeit slowly...and we're obviously aware IA is 48 days off.

This direct-mailing has to be supported by the grassroots to be successful. If we do get a large donor to come in a finish this thing off, well then we'd finish off the ticker and more on to the next states on the list. I'm not counting on that though.

[parocks]

Maybe I'm not clear on the meaning of "SUPER PAC", but I thought the whole point of a SUPER PAC was to take money from people who have already maxed out.

That's what the point is of a SUPER PAC.

With a SUPER PAC, you don't have money bombs. Because you're directly contacting people who have maxed out. Or, the official campaign is sending money your way. Not having yet another money bomb, trying to get money from the same people who still have money to give to the official campaign.

But, again, maybe I'm just not sure what the purpose of a SUPER PAC is.

[harikaried]

Will future donations through http://www.revolutionpac.com/donate/ also go towards the SupervoteBomb?

[Freedom of Speech]

Will future donations through http://www.revolutionpac.com/donate/ also go towards the SupervoteBomb?

That's a good question because I notice PayPal is an option there, but not on the SupervoterBomb.com page.

[VictorB]

Just donated as well. Try to spread the word on this. They only have 20 Facebook shares as of now.

This is a great concept with them sending out the DVD as well.

But, again, maybe I'm just not sure what the purpose of a SUPER PAC is.

The purpose of a Super PAC is to be able to take in unlimited donations from US-based individuals, businesses, and orgs. Maxed-out donors have nothing to do with it, people can donate wherever they like, whether maxed out or not.

If you're considering trolling up this thread like you've done with others in the past, please don't. I seriously don't have time for it.

[AdamT]

Will future donations through http://www.revolutionpac.com/donate/ also go towards the SupervoteBomb?

No, those will go into the general fund. Donating at http://supervoterbomb.com/mailsome.html tags those funds specifically for this project alone.

[AdamT]

That's a good question because I notice PayPal is an option there, but not on the SupervoterBomb.com page.

Yeah, PP causes a major issue with sending real-time data to the ticker. If you notice, the official campaign only uses a form and no PP. That is because trying to automatically merge the 2 databases into a real-time ticker data stream is virtually impossible.

If we get enough requests we can add PP, but those won't be displayed on the ticker (or reflect the total) until they are manually added to our main database. So it's a bit tricky lol.

[K466]

This is fantastic. Tweeted. I hope we can read Tom's letter soon.

[Crotale]

Can Non Residents of the U.S donate?

[lucent]

I've been hoping for RevPAC to work with the grassroots on projects such as these. I hope they will do more as there are many grassroots projects that exist, but really lack someone to take the lead. Is there any hope to get help from RevPAC on the promoting the upcoming Tea Party?

I would urge you to do this. Many people use PayPal exclusively.

Not sure what trolling is.

I'm aware that you don't have to be maxed out to donate.

It simply is not trolling to suggest that money should go to the official campaign if the donor hasn't maxed out.

It simply is not trolling to suggest that Ron Paul does need a SUPER PAC that will focus on large donors.

It simply is not trolling to point out that extra moneybombs, designed to hit the same donors that the official campaign hits, in the same way that the official campaign does, is not the way to go.

It's just my suggestion that Ron Paul's Super PAC not compete with the Ron Paul Official Campaign for low dollar contributions. And it isn't trolling to make that suggestion.

[harikaried]

[sabu140]

Please RevPac wait and give the best products before shipping this out. Can they partner up and improve the superbrochure to appeal to Republican voters not Ron Paul supporters. The superbrochure has to many extras and says end the fed and talks about international peace which should not be in there because Ron PAul respects the soveriengty of other nations like Israel. Also what's wrong with getting people on the ground to go door to door and save a ton of money on postage. I'm not a fan of the For Liberty for getting new people turned on. How about a youtube video compilation.
First impressions are very important make it count and do it right.

[Crotale]

Make sure that this video goes on the DVD:

[Eric21ND]

If you're going to focus on foreign policy can you include this Michael Scheuer interview on the extras? Should be required viewing for all republican voters.

Can you point specifically to the exact text in the brochure you have a problem with?

While the 60 min doc will be on the disc, the design of the menus will put just as much, if not more emphasis on watching the add-on videos we plan on including. The menu is going to get a complete re-design to do this effectively.

[parocks]

I do.

NO.

This is a SUPER PAC project.

SUPER PAC projects are not grassroots projects.

Which is my point.

The Official Campaign cannot take more than $2500 from a person.

SUPER PACS can take huge amounts of money from one person, one company, one whatever.

But the SUPER PAC is not doing a good job, at all, as a SUPER PAC.

I'm not criticizing the DVD, or the mailing, or anything. I'm presuming it's good. There are skilled people onboard.

But as money raisers, which is the whole point, they're not doing a good job.

Again, the SUPER PAC should have tons of money, and if they're asking the same people as the official campaign is asking, they aren't doing the job they're supposed to be doing, which is getting the extra money from the people who have maxed out. Not competing with the official campaign.

[harikaried]

I think it may too late to change now. Any other solution?I can only guess at what Facebook tries to do when you provide a link.. but it seems like it does pick up a thumbnail for some pages like the home pages for google and some others, so at least we know it's not doing something special for the http://supervoterbomb.com/ root page.

Did you recently add in the thumbnail? Facebook might be caching the no-thumbnail and summary.

If I try sharing http://supervoterbomb.com/?ignore-cache it correctly finds the thumbnail.

[AdamT]

Donations I see are coming in! Will the RevPAC facebook promote this, and will they send out some emails? I think this could take off quick if they did that, and asked people to spread the word.

I just sent out an email promoting this to around 5,000 RevPAC subscribers, and we'll be hitting with follow ups in the coming days/weeks. I seriously hate sending mass emails, but it appears to be helping push up the ticker. It's a bit tough starting out from 0 with these things. Thanks to all who are helping.

Yeah I did change the thumb yesterday (and the filename, then deleted the old version off the server), so maybe it's holding the old version in cache? I just added the new image to the server with the old filename, so maybe that will help.

Would there be anyway for any grassroots leaders to get a hold of your 5,000 subscriber list?

I agree. It would be better if it was just a DVD of Ron Paul on the issues.

[harikaried]

Yeah I did change the thumb yesterday (and the filename, then deleted the old version off the server), so maybe it's holding the old version in cache?I would assume Facebook looks up a page the first time someone shares it and saves it on their server so they don't have to do this lookup (and fetching of images) every time someone shares the link. They might refresh it on some time delay.

You can try testing the cache by changing the page with maybe a different description? See if the description text changes on Facebook when sharing http://supervoterbomb.com/

How about a list of conservative and Republican endorsements from Iowa and New Hampshire included somewhere?

[Eric21ND]

By the way if you do include the Michael Scheuer foreign policy video, I would suggest that Tom Woods challenge republican voters in his letter to watch the Scheuer video and ask them if they would feel safer with Michael Scheuer as Secretary of State or Hillary Clinton. Psychologically speaking this already makes them side with Scheuer (because what republican voter wants to side with Hillary Clinton ever) and once they side with Scheuer, selling them Ron Paul is magnitudes easier. It also helps make Ron's foreign policy logically digestible to voters.

I have to disagree with you.

I think Rev. Pac should tread very very lightly on foreign policy. You're not going to completely change someone's foreign policy views with a mailer. Best bet is to try and reinforce aspects of his foreign policy that GOP mainline folks agree with and press hard on other issues.

[Eric21ND]

The For Liberty DVD is great but it's really not for converting people over to Ron Paul. I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand this.
I wholeheartedly disagree. It gives a wonderful overview of the Ron Paul movement and brings newbie voters up to speed in an entertaining format. Try getting people to watch policy videos, how boring...and if you keep up on view counts on Youtube its the dramatic videos with the highest counts and ratings. You need a hook to get people to watch and pay attention. The DVD not only informs people about everything going on with the movement, it excites and inspires people to become activists.

It's especially important to show average voters the level of excitement going on with the campaign that the media doesn't show. Excitement is the bottled lightning that sparks everything within the Ron Paul movement. It fuels our canvassing, phone banking, money bombs, etc. Excitement is contagious, and in a rather unexciting field of candidates we stand out. People will want to be a part of that.

[VRG]

The idea is great, and so was the 10min video posted a number of posts back, but I would refrain from going into conspiracy theory by mentioning special interest etc., as that turns a lot of people of (like myself). So, when you are explaining a certain policy, be it foreign policy, monetary policy, whatever, just state the facts and how mainstream is wrong. Give examples, show history, all those things. The parts where Paul predicts the housing bubble for instance are very powerful, and that is what will convince people.

I'm feeling pretty confident we're going to win this :)

Fine, I guess I was just assuming that the Super Pac wouldn't be raising money the way they are, but mostly just getting a handful of big dollar contributions. What all this tells me is that we don't have any big money supporters at all. I'm not saying this is a bad project. I'm saying, oh, shit, there's clearly a big empty space where big money should be.

Ron Paul doesn't grant special interests y'see, therefore there isn't much in it for big business who want to call upon some nice favours when their man/woman gets elected.

Big buck contributions to Ron Paul would be for people who support liberty and do it because they know it's the right thing to do. These big money doners are rarer than the ones who do it so they can be granted special privileges. Crony capitalism. :(

He is releasing it on Youtube on that date. You could message him and ask if he would be willing to give RevPac this video on an earlier date in order to include it on the DVD.

Yep, this particular video is very effective at converting people. It will likely play right away when the disc is inserted, and the main menu will come on when it's done.


Okay, that's perfect then.

Is it possible to collaborate to revise the super brochures? I heard a few complaints about them in the chat recently.

This sounds like a great idea though.

For $1.20/ea we can mail a "For Liberty Re-cut" DVD and a Super Brochure to 1 Republican Supervoter, accompanied by a letter from New York Times' best-selling author Thomas E. Woods.

I think at $1.20 a mailing it would be better to make cheaper packs that reach more people. I'm assuming the intention is to do other states later, as there won't be the money to do everywhere. The ronpaulproducts.com is $0.55 but that's just the brochure and currently just Florida. Maybe that's enough for some states.
Make sure they don't overlap with just the brochure somehow.

Just an fyi it is $0.55 not $0.22. We need to be focused on Iowa and NH, we don't need to worry about future states right now. If we win Iowa and NH then we will have all the momentum and we can worry about future states later. Lets focus on the two states in front of us. We need to Mail BOMB these two states!

Here are the differences and common goals between the:
Revolution PAC and RonPaulProducts.com

1. We all want Ron Paul to win the primaries and become President of these United States.

2. The most important thing is to get necessary information to the people who are most likely to vote or be influenced to vote for Ron Paul.

3. "For Liberty" is the most moving full length movie on the Ron Paul liberty movement.

4. The "Ron Paul Super Brochure" is the most moving hand-out about Ron Paul.

5. The goal is to provide potential voters what they need to make a decision to vote for Ron Paul.

6. Through the Revolution PAC (SuperVoterBomb.com): $100 dollars reaches 83 homes with a "For Liberty" DVD, Ron Paul Super Brochure and a letter from Tom Woods.

7. Through RonPaulProducts.com: $100 reaches 181 homes with a Ron Paul Super Brochure. (And you pick the county, precinct and amount of voters you mail to.)

8. The Revolution PAC will look at RonPaulProducts.com's purchased precinct list so there is no overlapping.

9. Looking at #6 and #7, you decide which one returns the most bang for your buck.

Thank you for giving you best in getting Iowa covered.

Can you point specifically to the exact text in the brochure you have a problem with?

While the 60 min doc will be on the disc, the design of the menus will put just as much, if not more emphasis on watching the add-on videos we plan on including. The menu is going to get a complete re-design to do this effectively.

I can answer that. Certainly remove the reference to BlueRepublican.org; we don't want these people going to a site intended for liberals. Also, since these are super voters, the text urging them to register Republican is wasted space. That might free up just enough room to put in a pro-life or pro-Israel quote from Dr. Paul, which would probably go over well with this audience. Something like one of these:
"I do not believe it is our place to dictate how Israel runs her affairs. There can only be peace in the region if those sides work out their differences among one another. We should respect Israel’s sovereignty and not try to dictate her policy from Washington."

"It's academic to talk about civil liberties if you don't talk about the true protection of all life. So if you're going to protect liberty, you have to protect the life of the unborn just as well."

There are also some copy-editing issues I came across, if you want me to make a detailed list.

Why these should be sent out now instead of the very last second between Christmas and New Years.

Im not criticizing the idea, i think its great I just want to hear input.

There are still a lot of undecideds in Iowa and New Hampshire. Perfect timing if you ask me, the wave is forming and we need to capitalize on it NOW to help increase the momentum. The message needs to be out there as an option for those seeking truth. The "do or die" moment is quickly approaching.

[scrosnoe]

Haven't read the whole thread, so forgive if a duplication -- suggest a very formally done email for replication targeted to Iowa but suitable for blanketing the state and a flyer ready to take to events to saturate and reinforce -- could provide links to youtube snips and ways to get the whole dvd and help with the project too.

I know RevPac will include Tom Wood's letter -- but is it possible for the non revpac CD mailers, to also include them?

[bluesc]

Let's move it up to the 2nd batch! I imagine many of those super voters are seniors, and they are very receptive to Ron's message, because, in my experience, they haven't really heard much about him. When informed of his record, and his positions, they like what they hear. This is a great project.

[Eric21ND]

I know RevPac will include Tom Wood's letter -- but is it possible for the non revpac CD mailers, to also include them?
I was wondering that too. All the precincts Ron Paul Products wishes to send brochures too should include that awesome letter!

Just think, that letter and tons of other Woods ideas could be part of the official Ron Paul campaign now, and could have been part of the campaign the entire time.

Thanks Benton and crew!

Still psyched that he's reaching out to voters and the public at large.
Adam is that you? :confused:

If this ends up fully funded than can it keep going for other states as well?

[Eric21ND]

I think we all need to drink a toast to Scott Banister...I'm doing my part!

Why are we only sending out 100K in Iowa? We need Iowa and I feel everything should go into it. Romney will win NH and if we get Iowa, we will probably get 2nd in NH by default.

Thoughts?

Why do you think that? When we win Iowa a huge awaking of Ron Paul supporters will come out and it will be a close race in NH

I am saying that we need to win Iowa. Iowa has tons of undecided voters. I really think we need to spend the money there. I think 200K in Iowa is better than 100K/100K. I am on board. Maybe we will go back there afterwards. Idea is great though. We do not need al 50 states yet, 1. Iowa, 2 NH. Period!!!

The national polls do not matter, Guliani was winning and got killed by waiting until Florida and everyone passed him by in 2008.

I agree Iowa needs to be paramount but winning Iowa is not a sure path to the nomination. Just look at Mike Huckabee the last go-around, and the media was behind him. Besides I doubt there are many more than 100k GOP "supervoters" in Iowa, it being such a small state. Actually looking at the numbers - http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/states/IA.html - only a little over 115k Republicans caucused in 2008.

Good info - yeah 100,000 should be plenty, lets be real.

I agree. Everything should go to Iowa. I'd rather send multiple mailers to them.

A corporation can donate to this right? Is this a deductible expense of any kind :)

Yes, a corporation can donate an unlimited amount and I am not sure if it is deductible. I'll have to check, anyone know?

Edit: From what I can find online, political contributions are not tax deductible, even to a PAC.

Good point about the Supervoters. I forgot about this point. As long as everyone gets 1 I am ok with it

Contributions to Revolution PAC are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal or state income tax purposes.

Anyone have $30 to spare to finish off this Oath ad chipin?! http://twrocked.chipin.com/oath-ad-in-the-daily-iowan

[Eryxis]

I'm not wanting to donate as charitable, I want to donate it as a business expense for reducing my regulatory burden...

[bluesc]

Can someone get absolute confirmation for this good gentleman/lady that it is not deductible as a business expense?

[Eryxis]

After a bit of googling, it looks like a NO for that. If this were a purely educational (i.e. freedom is good mmkay) PAC then it MIGHT be deductible.

[AdamT]

AdamT, I am serious when I ask if there is any hope or even possibility of RevPAC helping promote http://www.teaparty11.com ?

Yes we are helping. See http://www.revolutionpac.com/resources/

[AdamT]

Adam is that you? :confused:

Huh? No.

[AdamT]

Corps - yes, deductible - no.

[Eric21ND]

Remember Ron Paul Products is mailing brochures by precinct to Iowa, so once this project is filled we should turn our efforts to funding those precinct mailings.

[Eric21ND]

Huh? No.
Kokesh :rolleyes:

[trey4sports]

bump. Ticker seems to be moving along nicely.

[IndianaPolitico]

Bump! Can we reach 60,000 envelopes mailed today?

[AdamT]

bump. Ticker seems to be moving along nicely.

Yeah we killed it yesterday. I think posting Woods' awesome letter had something o do with it :cool:

[qwerty]

Yes we are helping. See http://www.revolutionpac.com/resources/

Thanks!

Could you make a entire blog post about it sometime? Maybe after the supervotebomb is finished ?

[whippoorwill]

[Crotale]

Bump.

AdamT, how are RevPac getting on in their efforts to attract large donors to projects such as this?

[pauliticalfan]

Just had a thought. Are the For Liberty DVDs still going to be shrink-wrapped? Don't you think this will deter people from actually taking the time to unwrap it and watch it? We want to make it as easy as possible for people to go from opening their letter to popping the DVD in their video player. Shrink wrap just gets in the way of that. Is there any way to get rid of the shrink wrap before mailing?

Thoughts?

[Crotale]

Bump.

[trey4sports]

so what's RevPAC up to now? How was the fundraiser last night?

[trey4sports]

When are the superbrochures going to get into the hands of Iowans?
