The "Myspace Tea Party" Project: Almost 100,000 OPPORTUNITIES!

[Menthol Patch]

As of right now Ron Paul has 93, 747 Myspace friends. We need to all work together to make sure EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM gets a message asking them to make a donation on the Tea Party of 2007!

If you go to the following link you will see he has 2344 pages of Myspace friends.

(You must be logged into your Myspace account to view this list.)

http://friends.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewfriends&friendID=158537123

What we need to do is start from page number one and IN ORDER have people in this thread pledge to adopt a number of pages. If you they adopt a certain number of pages it is their DUTY to contact every person on those pages!

For example, the first person on this thread might adopt pages 1-10. If so, the next person would adopt pages 11-15. The next person might adopt pages 16-40.

WE MUST DO THIS IN ORDER SO WE WILL KNOW WHEN ALL THE PAGES HAVE BEEN ADOPTED.

All messages MUST be sent out by Dec. 10th. That will give us time to contact everyone ONCE MORE (unless they request not to be contacted again) by Dec. 15th!

Who will get this started and pledge to adopt the first set of pages? You can adopt as few or as many pages as you would like, but the minimum is one page.

[Energy]

Brian was heading this and we've gone through about half. He's sending an email update today or tomorrow on where we are. Please email Brian at brianjw71 at hotmail dot com
to see how you can help.

[Menthol Patch]

Who would like to adopt the first ten pages?

[ItsTime]

PLEASE add a link to Operation Front Door in the messages!

http://www.myspace.com/operationfrontdoor


Support Operation Front Door (http://www.myspace.com/operationfrontdoor)!

Operation Front Door: Basically the plan is to get meetups all across the country to have a big canvassing push the week after the 16th. This will coincide with the December 16th tea party-

Picture this; You're sitting at home watching the evening news and you're seeing "Ron Paul makes another fund raising record" then 'knock-knock'- it's Ron Paul supporters at your door. That's kind of the idea. While the media is pushing the fund raising we're knocking on doors showing how strong this grassroots campaign is and offering information about Ron Paul....

[ItsTime]

If you have a myspace page, I can use that you dont care if it gets deleted for mass mailing Ill take the first 10 pages.


Who would like to adopt the first ten pages?

[Menthol Patch]

This is not mass mailing and we need to get started.

Who will be the first to adopt a page?

[ItsTime]

I have nothing to do Ill take a chance I dont really care if my myspace page gets deleted.

Ill do 5 pages.

Who has the mail that should be sent?


This is not mass mailing and we need to get started.

[slowmotionjones]

We've been using software to automate this. Contact brianjw71 at hotmail dot com to get the link or PM me and I'll send you the link.

With the software, you can pull ALL the profiles from a single page with one click, and then hit each one with your message. Huge timesaver.

Do you all approve of these changes?

Don't bog the message down with too much info or you won't get anyone to read it. Don't add like 20 different links for people to check out. Let's keep this focused on dec 16th

[Teenforpaul08]

This look great!

P.S. I think one of the rare teens that are disgusted by myspace. And no, I'm not a nerd xP

[ItsTime]

there are three links

I suppose we could take out the forum one.

Just so you know, you need quotes around the URL like:

<a href="http://www.teaparty07.com">http://www.teaparty07.com</a>

Always send a test message to a buddy. You can then look in your Sent box to see how it looks. Click on all the links. Sometimes, myspace bungles up a link for some reason.

[Paulitical Correctness]

I suggested doing this for the blimp and I got nothing but "spam" feedback. I'm pretty sure "ItsTime" was the main one, too.

:confused:

[Menthol Patch]

Well, lets get this done for the Tea Party. I'm not giving up.

Anyone willing to adopt some pages starting at page 21?

[spivey378]

careful not to say ron paul in the subject. im paranoid about myspace censoring it

[brandon]

I already got 3 spam messages from spam accounts promoting the tea party. It is rather annoying.

[Menthol Patch]

Anyone willing to adopt some pages starting at page 21?

[slowmotionjones]

I got friendblaster working finally and it makes this a whole lot easier than going to each individual page.

Still working on 11-20

[shepburn]

bump ... this is a great idea

[slowmotionjones]

Looks like myspace has a limit of 350 messages sent per day.

I might have to switch over to my gal's account to get ten pages done today. (10 pages x 40 per page=400)

150 messages out so far.

[slowmotionjones]

250 sent.

So far no hate mail and one new friend request.:)

[slantedview]

This is a great idea, and is perhaps one of the reasons that the 5th was so successfull. Brian is to thank for that :)

[Benaiah]

Can we get an update from Brian on this?

Maybe we should send some to Brownback supporters since he dropped out.

[slowmotionjones]

350 sent out!!!

I'm stopping there since myspace is asking me to put in a code every third message.

I'll finish my ten pages in the morning and pick up another ten then.

[slowmotionjones]

Got another friend request from a supporter and a message from http://www.myspace.com/ronpaulstreetteam

still no hate mail.

[slowmotionjones]

Two more messages and a comment.

Still no hate mail.:p

[qwerty]

Bump!

[yaz]

Or Ron Paul could issue a bulletin.

[literatim]

Or Ron Paul could issue a bulletin.

Against FEC regulations.

[sdczen]

Emailing is a great idea. If I could make a suggestion. Remind everyone that supports Ron Paul to post a "Bulletin" a couple of days before and the day of the Tea Party. Remember the power of "networking". The 100k friends that RP has will turn into just about EVERYONE on myspace if they all post a bulletin (which can be viewed by all of their friends).

[BrianH]

I suggest since these are to people who alre already friends of Ron Paul that we don't make this a SHORT message. They will appreciate the urgency of the need already and the need for information they may not be already familiar with. I liked this one posted here. Not sure how many MySpace projects are out there!

Hi, fellow supporter! On November 5th, $4.3 million was raised from individual Ron Paul supporters like you.

We made headlines! Watch this short, stunning video made by a Hollywood film editor:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKZmIzEMUN8

This was the largest one-day fund raiser by a Republican in a primary race, and it earned us quite a bit of attention and respect. On December 16th, the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, Ron Paul supporters like you and I will raise $10 million in one day, and we will have coordinated the largest one-day political fundraiser in history.

Without your donation, we will fail. With your donation, we might pull off the upset of the century, put Ron Paul in the White House, and restore liberty to every American. Join us on December 16th for the Tea Party 07: www.TeaParty07.com (if it doesn't load all the way, you may need to reload the page because of heavy traffic).

The Tea Party already has more subscribers than November 5th! If you can give $100, please sign up, so we know where we stand. If you can't, please mark your calendar and don't forget to scrape up as much as you can on December 16th!

We need your every single ounce of effort on this one. This will be Ron Paul's last chance. When the Tea Party succeeds, we will be the frontrunner in fundraising out of ALL the political candidates, Republican or Democratic. The media attention will be stupendous, and Ron Paul will finally have the means to run a truly national campaign. This is essential, because the primaries are only a few weeks away, and only 30% of primary goers have even HEARD of Ron Paul. But this is good news! With Ron Paul already polling at almost 10%, this means that one-third of the people who have heard of him will be voting for him. Imagine how high his polling would reach if we can get the message to another 30%, 60% or 90% of likely primary voters!

Ron Paul needs the media exposure from having the largest fundraiser in history, as well as the actual money it will bring in.

Please tell all friends, family, and liberty-loving individuals that this is the last chance to restore America to its Constitutional basis; to end the war, to stop corruption of our liberties and rights, and to make sure in 2008 your ballot isn't "Clinton or Giuliani". If you know people who haven't heard about Ron Paul, tell them about this amazing individual using this site:

http://www.KickApathy.com

If they're a Democrat concerned about the war, point them this excellent video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC6D6uiLrgQ

and note that even Clinton and Obama have refused to commit to be out of Iraq by 2013.

This is truly our last chance. However, with your help, it won't be our last "chance" - it will be yet another victory for the American people.

Lastly, Ron can't win UNLESS...

The primaries are fast approaching! The first primary on January 3rd!

If you haven't already, get registered to vote in the PRIMARIES (in some states you have to declare Republican).

Do you guys really think that people are going to read through all of that? I think it would be best to put one paragraph and direct them to Eliberty's or Ghober's video.

You dont need the quotes, I tested it and it worked fine :). I hardly ever use quotes around my urls.

If you have more than one link in the message, I recommend making each open in a new window, so that the myspace member still has your message opened to check out the other links. It's like this:

<a href="http://www.teaparty07.com" target="_blank">http://www.teaparty07.com</a>

I agree, as long as you have the most important link at the very beginning for them to click on like that message with eLIB3RTY's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKZmIzEMUN8

If they watch that video and don't read the rest of that message, that's fine - the video has everything about the Tea Party. And if they want to read the rest, it's all right there with info about registering to vote, primaries, etc.

Bump!

Brian seems to have burned out with this project - anyone willing to step and be the main point of contact who parses & distributes the 90,000 Myspace ID's to insure complete coverage with no duplications?

lets do this with Rand! i wasn't around for this tho, anyone?
