NONE BUT PAUL OR NO ONE BUT PAUL?

[JordanL]

Hmmm... I guess I can stop all the web design and development work I did for the bailout for freedom moneybomb on the same day.

[nasonex]

It needs to be no one but Paul.

I think this is a great idea.

I think that the theme should be that none of the other candidates are true conservatives that would reduce the government, reduce spending, and promote peace if elected.

[Bruno]

I approve. :)

[Okie RP fan]

Well, let's get to it.

Crafty types, where are you? Make us a killer website!

[JordanL]

You guys do realize that "No One But Paul" will encourage supporters who are not hard-core Paul voters to not participate, right?

[RonPaulFever]

How about Nobody But Paul?

[jtbraine]

Feb 14th Valentine's Day money bomb no one but Paul. We could have done the whole LOVE thing.

Is the date set in stone? I get paid at the end of the month like most people. Im still saving after Christmas and wont have any spare cash till the last work day of February.

[nathanielyao]

Not necessarily, see Mckarnin's post:


Just a thought on the No One but Paul moneybomb idea. I know the initial thought with that title is that we won't vote for anyone but Paul but we can expand the idea to list some of the things that No One but Paul is doing and then state that that is why we will vote for NOBP.

No One but Paul will repeal the Patriot Act and return our 4th amendment freedoms
No One but Paul will bring all our troops home
No One but Paul will balance the budget

etc. (obviously we would want to pick the most hard hitting and important things and phrase them carefully)

That's why my vote is for No One but Paul.

[spudea]

hellz yeah, i can definetly get behind this moneybomb theme!

[WD-NY]

You guys do realize that "No One But Paul" will encourage supporters who are not hard-core Paul voters to not participate, right?

No One But Paul ... will repeal the patriot act
No One But Paul ... will bring our troops home
No One But Paul ... will audit the federal reserve
No One But Paul ... is against SOPA/PIPA
No One But Paul ... is against war with Iran
No One But Paul ... voted against the wall st bailouts
No One But Paul ... voted against war with Iraq

etc.
etc.

I think spinning it this way will softens the "no one but paul" message to non-NOBP supporters

"Bailout for Freedom" was much more inviting.

However, this is what we decided on, so, let's promote it the best way we can and be creative.

[brendan.orourke]

How about Nobody But Paul?I agree. This will avoid any confusion. And "None but Paul" just sounds weird.

[seawolf]

Congratulations, We Finally Have a Theme to Work With!!! NO ONE BUT PAUL is GREAT!!!

February 17th is the absolute last day we can have this Money Bomb!!! The Campaign has to have the Cash-in-Hand to buy the last two weeks of TV/Radio Ad's and Direct Mail for the Super Day, March 6th Primaries. (just 18 days away)

It can be a little earlier, but ABSOLUTELY NO LATER.

[Sentinelrv]

Nathaniel, did you get my email? Do you just want to let this thread die and wait for me to put up my planning and promotion thread?

[jtbraine]

test the idea out here https://www.facebook.com/ronpaul
A lot of new supporters can chip in. NOBP may put people off that are on the fence.

[FreeTraveler]

Everybody please help build this list. This is the way to sell the message.


Because:

No One But Paul ... will repeal the patriot act
No One But Paul ... will bring our troops home
No One But Paul ... will audit the federal reserve
No One But Paul ... is against SOPA/PIPA
No One But Paul ... is against war with Iran
No One But Paul ... voted against the wall st bailouts
No One But Paul ... voted against war with Iraq
No One But Paul ... will balance the budget
No One But Paul ... will close five departments


No One But Paul ... deserves my vote

No One But Paul ... deserves your vote too.

(that takes some of the threat out of it.)

There's one video script, right there. Any number of videos could use a few related items to focus on one theme.

bring our troops home... voted against the war with Iraq... is against war with Iran == foreign policy video

is against the Patriot Act... is against SOPA/PIPA == protect liberty video

will audit the Federal Reserve... will balance the budget... will close five departments == economic policy video

[Mckarnin]

Hmmm... I guess I can stop all the web design and development work I did for the bailout for freedom moneybomb on the same day.

Did you get my email? Bailout for Freedom went from being the consensus last week when we bought the domain and started work to being outvoted in a new poll created a few days ago...at first we were thinking competing moneybombs but it seems a shame to have two teams working on two moneybombs for February. I thought perhaps we could move to March since we held first for awhile in the poll and now hold second.

[justatrey]

NONE BUT PAUL OR NO ONE BUT PAUL?

I love it, but can someone fix the image?

[FreeTraveler]

How about this for Israel?

No One But Paul ... Supports a truly independent Israel

That could go in the foreign policy version.

[nasonex]

We the supporters of Ron Paul, recognize that there is only one *true*small government candidate seeking to obtain the Republican nomination for President of the United States of America. Unlike the serial hypocrites, flip-floppers, and fake conservatives seeking the nomination, our candidate has a consistent track record. He has proven to be a true conservative by demanding massive reductions in government spending, seeking dramatic reductions in taxation, opposing a global empire that weakens national defense, and standing up for our rights and freedoms.

By defending the rights of gun owners, speaking up for the unborn, supporting privacy, opposing bailouts, and pushing for a return to sound money, he has established himself as the most principled candidate.

By refusing to accept the status quo by voting for expansions in government -- along with liberals pretending to be legitimate Republicans -- he has demonstrated his commitment to conservatism.

By a lifetime of service as a medical doctor, a faithful husband to one wife, and a constant defender of the Constitution, he has earned our exclusive support.

We refuse to compromise by supporting any other candidate other than Ron Paul. By supporting any other candidate we would demonstrate our lack of conviction to small government. Although we have no desire for Obama to obtain a second term in office, we refuse to support the lesser of two evils.

Simply put, we will not support a big government Republican, to stop a big government Democrat. In all seriousness, it is our opinion that regardless if Obama or one of the other Republican candidates win the Presidency, we all lose. The result will be continued government spending, continued expansion of government, continued sacrifice of our liberties, and a perpetual global empire.

The future of this nation rests with fate of one man, Ron Paul, who we believe is destined by providence to obtain the nomination, and become the next President of the United States.

So we proclaim...

NO ONE BUT PAUL

[jtbraine]

How about this for Israel?

No One But Paul ... Supports a truly independent Israel

That could go in the foreign policy version. Yeah that sounds great. Just found this , No One But Paul ... publicly denounce SOPA

Ron Paul only GOP candidate to publicly denounce SOPA

I think you have a lot of good material in there but if we want everyone who visits the site to read it, especially people new to Paul it will have to be the single short line statements.

No One but Paul ____

No One But Paul ...can beat Obama
No One But Paul ...is the tax payers best friend

[Mckarnin]

Feb 14th valentine's day No one but paul is funny. think of all the love theams we can do too

Well and even if we want the money on the 17th there is no reason we can't make some virtual valentines for our friends and family to promote it.

[Shane Harris]

Definitely not on Valentines day. And this is a pet peeve but I never really understood the need for the "LOVE" in the "revolution". I understand it just means a non-violent revolution but its not a love revolution. Its a little misleading. This graphic alone has immediately turned off some republicans I know who just assumed it was some sort of "hippie", pacifist, love movement. Its not about love. Its about Liberty and Freedom. IMO

I really like this approach. The threat of withholding votes is still there, but it's only implied.

[agorist ninja]

"None But Paul" is much better to chant than "No One But Paul".

Either is fine with me. But for chanting purposes, the latter is definitely best.

[Mckarnin]

It is my opinion that of all the No One but Paul ______ statements we should either have a single list of at most 10 mixed topic statements or categorize them and do no more than 5 per category.

The campaign prefers Friday and Saturday moneybombs as well if I am not mistaken so the 17th is good.

This is very well done. +rep

Really like how you've framed everything. Keeping the threat of our votes only being cast for Ron, whilst expanding the message to address just about every issue.

I'd lose the bit about Reagan, though. Appeal to as broad of a base as possible.

[dfalken]

Encourage people to donate even if it is just 1 dollar to be counted as those who will not vote for any other candidate.

[Mckarnin]

I'm ok if people have other opinions but as far as the goal goes. I was under the impression that the $10M total that the campaign wanted by the 18th has the $6M and $1.5M from previous moneybombs counting towards it...does anyone know if that is the case or if only the $1.5 counts towards it? Also, it's good to have to reach a bit but it's demoralizing to come up seriously short. Also, as evidenced by the Road to SC moneybomb, the campaign said their goal was $1M to the media and put up a $3M ticker and the media reported that they exceeded their goal. I think saying we want $10 million is too ambitious and will likely make whatever we raise feel like a fail. I think $3-$5 million is a much better goal...then the campaign can put up a ticker for whatever they feel will contain overflow.

Also, I STRONGLY disagree with making people pledge to donate $100. On the last moneybomb where a $100 pledge was asked for I didn't pledge. It should be like Tea Party and November 5th from 07' and people should be asked to pledge to donate, not pledge to donate a specific amount. If you really think there needs to be an amount make it an "at least $1" or something so low pretty much anyone with a credit card or paypal who supports Paul can participate. I know that on those pledge to donate things I ended up giving more than I had planned because I was excited and being forced to say I will pay more than I can so I can feel like a participant is not cool.

Is it possible to take out the Reagan part? Will be a huge turnoff for many that would otherwise listen to what Ron has to say about stuff.

It just seems unnecessary. I mean, Reagan massively increased the size of government. Doesn't fit the theme of addressing issues, either. Since when is supporting Reagan something on the level of standing up for civil liberties, sound money, and a sane foreign policy? It's awfully trite in comparison.

[rgampell]

One way to get all of the No One But Paul ... ideas in a single website without excessive clutter --- and encourage people to read them all --- is to use the rotating-banner shtick. If anyone remembers the thisismynext tech blog (precursor to The Verge), that site used it:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fa/This-Is-My-Next-Logo.png
(the orange part is where the different gadget types rotated in)

I don't know if the .gif for the moneybomb website would be prohibitively large, what with all the verbiage involved, but if not, I think it could work well to have all of Ron's key positions rotating in and out of the site header.

Should elaborate "nobp....will get my vote" into:

"nobp....will get my vote in the primaries"
"nobp....will get my vote in the general election"

A little long but will sound like an ultimatum to other Republicans., rather than just candidate promotion.

[mstrmac1]

This may be the dumbest Money Bomb ever... yeah I said it! Good Luck with your "arrogance bomb"

What does that even mean to the person on the fence thinking of voting or donating to Paul?

The argument is over... we need to just focus our energy into promoting this one instead of wishing we had the other one. We are at a critical stage and we can't afford to get hung up on stuff like this anymore.

I still think this theme would have been more appropriate AFTER "Bailout for Freedom."

But, no more time for that.

And listing the points "No one but Paul..." has me thinking this may turn out decent enough.

Me too. I think this concept (hat tip Mckarnin) brings the message home, and turns it from a poke in the eye to an educational theme.

[JK/SEA]

Any chance we can get NO ONE BUT PAUL t-shirts?...short notice i know, but these might sell later down the road. Just a thought.

[Mckarnin]

I was actually thinking we should have a design your own No One But Paul t-shirt contest...people can use permanent markers or fabric paint or make a graphic file. Would need prizes though. I will rummage and see if I have any good Ron Paul stuff still around. Perhaps I will start a thread and then see if anyone volunteers prizes to add to whatever I come up with. :)

And now we have one..No One but Paul T-Shirt Design Contest (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?352830-***T-Shirt-Design-Contest!***).

[John F Kennedy III]

Hmmm... I guess I can stop all the web design and development work I did for the bailout for freedom moneybomb on the same day.

I agree, you should stop.

No need to be brusque. Bailout for Freedom was the consensus a week ago and several of us bought the domain, hosted it and got web design going. Jordan was away from RPF for a few days and pretty suprised that when he returned the forum had moved on to a different concept.

Yea, seriously. That needs to be "No One", not "None".

If you want, I'll run the twitter. I can set up an automation for those "No One But Paul" tweets to go out.

[Occam's Banana]

No One But Paul ... will repeal the patriot act
This is not well-phrased. Presidents do not have the power to repeal Congressional legislation.

Bump for this comment. Do you want me to run the twitter account? I'm pretty good with twitter and have a tweetadder account that I can use. I will get it loads of followers and tweet regularly and effectively.

There is already an account @NoOneButPaul: https://twitter.com/#!/NoOneButPaul Do you think it would be worth asking him to take over the account in the run up to the moneybomb and then give it back to him once it is over? He's a Ron Paul supporter so I'm sure he'd be willing to help out. Besides, it'll get him a load of followers :D There's no harm in asking after all.

[JordanL]

I agree, you should stop.

Why are you being so rude to me? The Bailout for Freedom was agreed upon, without my involvement at all, and as a web developer who worked on grassroots projects for the 2007/2008 campaign I was directly contacted with a request to help. I dropped what I was doing and started working on the project despite the fact that I'm currently homeless and out of work after being fired for believing in different politics than the company I worked for.

I came back to find out that for whatever reason, the vote had been changed, and the work that I had done for free, despite the fact that I can scarcely afford such charity, was wasted. Not only that, but in favor of a marketing scheme that will disenfranchise people who are not already fanatical supporters, leaving us with a smaller pool of people to draw from.

So yes, please be rude to me, I'm sure I deserve it.

[Mckarnin]

I know you guys are working hard but if people pledge now on that ticker that says 100k pledges and dates to 07' will you be able to transfer them to the new counter for this moneybomb?

**Head's up!!** Bailout for Freedom is going ahead for March. Even if people go in as far as they think they can in Feb. chances are some with another paycheck will be able to go a little further and help Dr. Paul campaign in later primary states. I'll also post this notice in the polling thread so people know.

[No1ButPaul08]

I endorse this moneybomb;)

[ItsTime]

No one but paul.... Let me know if you need help I did the facebook for Black This Out.

[Crotale]

Bump for this comment. Do you want me to run the twitter account? I'm pretty good with twitter and have a tweetadder account that I can use. I will get it loads of followers and tweet regularly and effectively.

There is already an account @NoOneButPaul: https://twitter.com/#!/NoOneButPaul Do you think it would be worth asking him to take over the account in the run up to the moneybomb and then give it back to him once it is over? He's a Ron Paul supporter so I'm sure he'd be willing to help out. Besides, it'll get him a load of followers :D There's no harm in asking after all.

Okay, I just asked him on facebook and twitter. Hopefully he'll get back to me and agree.

[All Ways]

Would love to see the "trust" in the round logo "honesty" instead of Ron Paul.

[All Ways]

P.s. without some kinda word (perhaps slanted) in front of NOBP it sounds like an ultimatum.

I recommend trust or something to that effect.

[All Ways]

Also, I STRONGLY disagree with making people pledge to donate $100. On the last moneybomb where a $100 pledge was asked for I didn't pledge. It should be like Tea Party and November 5th from 07' and people should be asked to pledge to donate, not pledge to donate a specific amount

Some were really turned off.

Stand up and be counted, even the smallest of donatios is a victory for the movement of liberty

Or

Help unleash/propel the power/idea/... of liberty, every donation brings uscloser to victory

Take it, leave it, I'm just throwing stuff out there to inspire an evn better idea:)

[liveandletlive]

i have no prob with a 100 dollars at all, i donate 100 a month anyway

[Mckarnin]

Hey, that's awesome but not all of us can afford that. Why make people who are poor feel like they can't be official moneybomb participants?

[LibertasPraesidium]

No One But Paul will vote for Peace.
No One But Paul will restore our Constitution.

SPREADing ON FACEBOOK lets go

[steph3n]

I saw a great black couple today with a homemade bumper sticker that said "PAUL on the first line and NO ONE ELSE on the second" they were pulling into a barnes and noble so I turned in and thanked them :D

[ItsTime]

Anyone have some good graphics for the facebook pages?

Also need good text for the event/page.

[Mckarnin]

I did ask for clarification that this is the theme the campaign will be promoting in February. If that is the case then I think we need to switch back to Bailout in February and make NOBP March as we were thinking early in the poll thread when Bailout was ahead.

May I suggest taking off the commuist fist off this page? geez..... http://www.facebook.com/BailoutForFreedom

Since this looks like the way the campaign wants to go do you want me to run the bailout facebook pages?

[seawolf]

No One but Paul on February 17th has just been blown up by the Official Campaign. Matt Collins has a thread, "Bailout Freedom Mega Money Bomb, Valentine's Day" February 14th.

Sadly, the Campaign really is making alot of mistakes with Ron being away from South Carolina for 4 critical days last week and now the total lack of consideration for what the Grassroots is working on!!!

This needs to CHANGE FAST MATT!!!!

Actually he was working with the grassroots, which originally decided ont he bailout theme. The campaign didn't expect us to change our minds.

I propose that we go with the campaign's theme, and have 'No One But Paul' material on the page.

I've already done work on the website for the bailout theme, because I was the developer contacted for that. I'll be sure to post up my stuff on it soon.

[mosquitobite]

"Bailout for Freedom" was much more inviting.

However, this is what we decided on, so, let's promote it the best way we can and be creative.

I still don't understand why we can't do two on the same day - if the money is all going to the same place??

We are the grassroots - we can do both?! The money still all goes to the campaign - why does it matter if there's two ways to get there?

[Mckarnin]

We can do two but if we are going to get it all over facebook and twitter bomb then a unified theme will be more powerful and not confusing to people. I think it's easy for us RPF folks to assume that everyone who supports Ron Paul is as "in the loop" as we are but that isn't the case and if we want people to feel like they are part of something and have the media know what to cover a single unified theme is best. Tea Party and 5th of November were big because if they were mentioned or youtubes were made everyone was on the same page. I have no problem with the idea of competing moneybombs but in practice it muddies the marketing.

Also, when it comes to No One but Paul..incorporating some no one but paul valentines and such in the grassroots marketing on V-Day would be great but I don't want to steal the thunder from the NOBP folks if they still want to run that in March so would be interested to hear what they have to say.

[ItsTime]

A unified theme is needed. I liked no one but paul better, but this one is just as good AND the campaign can use it without looking cocky.

[mosquitobite]

I just think we can encompass more people with differing themes. *shrug* Think of it like direct marketing. One will appeal to a certain block moreso than the other.

I don't see them as "competing" I see them as both going to the campaign.

[joshnorris14]

If we go with the campaigns idea this will fail miserably. Fantastic

It wasn't the campaign's idea - it was people on here.

We posted NUMEROUS threads for input.

Yea, and here we are. Planning a moneybomb on the 17th called "No One But Paul"

We can change it to the 14th and have a competition to see who can get the most facebook attending. :D

[Mckarnin]

We need to unify and blow this thing out of the water. Even when bailout was the consensus a lot of folks wanted something for Valentine's Day and No One but Paul, even with a twist can come across as cocky if the campaign promotes it right before Super Tuesday.

Let's get our thinking caps on and make this amazing!!!

It's Time, message me your facebook name so I can make you admin.

[seawolf]

Yes we can come together, but again as I said earlier in this thread, the Campaign has not had good week and this is just another example.

Now with that said.....let's move on and solve this mess.....

[Cyberbrain]

I propose that we go with the campaign's theme, and have 'No One But Paul' material on the page.
This seems like a better solution than dueling-money bombs, if we have to go with Bailout for Freedom I think a unified theme is the way to go.

Just on a personal note: I usually, seriously, could care less about wording because it's a moot point... but bailout really irks me. That word specifically has extremely negative connotations. Most of us absolutely despise the whole idea of bailouts, so why would we want to bailout anything? It gives me the impression that the campaign is either losing the race or severely in debt, and I don't understand the appeal. But that's just my 2 cents.

[Mckarnin]

They aren't the ones who thought of the name Cyber, we did over a week ago here on RPF. We figured the knee jerk reaction to bailout plus the very true fact that freedom is what is in most jeopardy right now could give us something powerful. You'll notice too that the campaign has decided to eliminate the "for" so it is clearly Bailing Freedom out and not bailing Ron Paul out.

[All Ways]

End the Bailouts Money bomb! jk bailing out freedom and NOBP combined actually sounds pretty good, combining the two messages.

[Mckarnin]

And we can't forget that they are holding it on Valentine's day. That alone gives us a lot of fun avenues we can use to soften and otherwise urgent message and make it catchy for newer supporters.

Well I asked for clarification from campaign and I got a quick response. So it's not just Matt, it was a campaign decision.

The campaign believes that the 17th of February is too late. According to the campaign, the money wouldn't hit their accounts fully until 22nd or later which is too late for much of the mail, ad buys etc.

So instead of a 17th of February + moneybomb, they are going to promote a "14th - 17th of February moneybomb".

That makes sense and we want them to get the money in time to make Super Tuesday ad buys! Thanks for getting clarification.

[seawolf]

Thank you GHoeberX for the update....Like I said earlier in the thread, the Campaign is going to make the decisions on Money Bombs now with the Campaign Season fully underway and accelerating.

The Grassroots will just have to step aside from now on concerning dates etc. We have to be in a full supporting roll only!!!

Interesting, though, a four day Money Bomb....February 14th thru 17th, that will be interesting and may b e HUGE if it is really pushed starting Monday......

[nomark]

I am one of those who will only vote for Ron Paul. It's not because I am an idiot, but I recognize the only difference between Obama, Romney, Newt, Santorum, et al is the spelling of their names. They are all the same. It's like death by electrician, death by hanging, death by drowning, death by fall, death by poison, etc. All of those others lead to death of our Constitution. Country, Way of life. Some are just faster than others.



I know, as do all the Ron Paul supporters that only Ron Paul offers LIFE for our country, our Constitution, our economy, our future.


In the choice between life and death, I choose life, because while some methods of death are less painful than others, it's still death, and I choose life.



Call me whatever name you want, Give me Ron Paul or give me death...

[well_met_sir]

This gave me an idea. What if this moneybomb were also a pool? It would show the total amount donated but it would then break it down by "I will vote no one but Paul", "I will vote for the Republican nominee regardless of who it is", and "I will vote for someone else, such as Gary Johnson". This would create a friendly rivalry and it might convince some pro-Romney trolls to donate money.
