We are in desperate need of donations. The site needs money so that we can get more form submissions. Right now, we're limited to 25. We need $50 so that we can upgrade the site and get unlimited forum submissions. We're also looking for $20 to get a domain name. But the $50 is most important.

BOYCOTT 4 FREEDOM- come and tell us what FOX advertisers YOU'RE boycotting until FOX lets Ron Paul on the debate.

You can get a domain name for about $9.

GoDaddy.com

Maybe there are other free methods you can use as well (for the form or whatever)

stormcommander, it would be easiest to do it through freewebs.com

that's a great looking site - Though Mesler is creating a dot-com domain, with ties to ronpaulgraphs.com and live tracking. He has stated he's willing to pay the website fees( http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=67754&page=5 ), and I believe he's working on the site right now. Let's make this as professional and efficient as possible, so to maximize the spread of this viral boycott.

as quoted from the original topic

American Express - 1-800-869-3016 cancel this card immediately, and let them know why
Best Buy - 1-888-BEST-BUY let them know you will never shop there again
Comcast - 1-800-COMCAST cancel immediately, informing them why

if we can get even 10% of Ron Paul supporters to act on this boycott ASAP, we will have an impact.

This is being done now and the domain has been purchased. We need to come together on this, not fracture into a 100 weak organizations.

registered boycott4freedom08.com, waiting on the hosting company to set things up.

something important to note: when you create the official boycott page, and submit it to digg, DON'T include Ron Paul in the title. Keep it simply to "Boycott Fox News sponsors".

Digg has pretty much been corrupted. They just added a new feature which allows all candidates to get equal representation, regardless of popularity. It is very difficult to get a Ron Paul submission to the main page. I repeat - DO NOT TAG THIS AS A RON PAUL MOVEMENT.

Wait wait wait, we don't need any donations. I registered a domain, have hosting, all we have to do is put something out there.

take your time, and do it right. This needs to be a professional and focused as possible. Try to keep everything on the same page, with live comments with each confirmed boycott (so people can see a huge list of people that have cancelled their subscriptions/credit cards and/or vowed to permanently avoid shopping at best buy. And read about their experiences on the phone. The ability to track the progress as it happens is huge for motivation)

Ok, just spoke to 1and1, who will be hosting it, and it's in the queue. Normally they get sites up and running in minutes, not sure why they're behind today.

I'll keep you guys posted.

I agree completely Brad, the more professional it looks, the more people will sign on with it. I think the moneybomb formula is good and familiar.

Ok, the domain is up and going, and I set up my own interpretation of what I think it should look like. Smart has access to it as well. We can hack what I set up and incorporate some of what smart does, or I can forward the domain to smart's.

Give us feedback:

It is NOT LIVE YET!
