I need some web development help for the http://www.ronpaulspayday.com (http://www.ronpaulspayday.com/) site - specifically with setting up feedburner and getting the site interactive.

If you haven't watched my youtube about the site here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymbz6XrkXzQ

That's not his real address is it? BTW pretty good idea. I really like what you said in your video about another money bomb..

It's very risky to have another bomb. If for some reason we don't raise more than the last one it will be seen as a failer from the media and the mainstream. They would use it against us. So since we're up, lets be smart enough NOT to have another money bomb.....


I LIKE YOUR IDEA.

I think it's a great idea. I may be off base but I get the sense there are a lot of folks in "wait and see" mode right now. We've all put a lot of time, energy and money into Paul's campaign ... it's time to start seeing results in the polls. If Paul can crack 10% in New Hampshire I think you'll see a lot of renewed enthusiasm.

Have you contacted the developers of the original moneybomb site? The meaning of the term has changed somewhat but the original vision was very close to your concept.

http://ronpaulmoneybomb.com/index.html

In any case their website is very well constructed. Since their original idea is close to yours , perhaps they would be interested in a collaboration on a new site with a new tagline.

Some additional ideas:

--Allow pledgers to select the frequency that they receive e-mail updates. The Dec. 16th site came under a lot of criticism for forcing pledgers to get a daily e-mail, and undoubtedly some people didn't sign up due to that feature.

--Allow people to set their own monetary amount for their pledge, as long as it is above some minimal value that like $5 that covers the campaigns handling costs.

--Display for public viewing only the number of pledges, not the total amount pledged. This avoids the false pledge problem experienced with the Blimp.

Sorry guys, you'll have to count me out this time. I've got money bomb fatigue. Besides, this movement is starting to feel more like a religous cult than a political campaign. We've already sent the campaign almost 20 million dollars and I've yet to see a single TV ad here in SC...and we're one of the early primary states.

Dr. Paul keeps saying that he doesn't know how to spend all the money, and yet we're competing over how many more ideas we can create to keep sending money.

After all we've said and done for this campaign, our polling still sucks. I want to see some results before I invest anymore money. Dr. Paul is adamant about making sound investments, so I'm sure he'll understand.
