GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORNING AMERICA!!!
Welcome to Operation $23M, here are your 5 fundraising targets.

We are gonna do it a little bit different then last times. Where last times there was 1 goal for 1 day with 1 central website, now there are multiple goals on multiple days by multiple website. GET USED TO THIS!!! There is 1 FINAL TARGET though, and that is getting the $23M raised on time.

TARGET 1.
Reach $19M TODAY!!!! December 30th! https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/


TARGET 2.
End this year succesfully with a total of $20M at the end of the year.
Get everyone you know to sign up at one of the following websites. If they don't have time to make a pledge, then make sure they do donate before they go out to party at december 31st!!!! Also if they go out to party, then for sure they can spare some money for donating, if they doubt, then just ask them to drink a beer or 2 less :p I mean, freedom should be worth 2 beer at least!

http://www.donate2008.org/
http://www.newyearrevolution.com/
Also they can already donate today if they want to! I already saw people urging for reaching 19M today. That would be awesome already!


TARGET 3.
Make a success of www.ronpaulspayday.com with donations of $2M per week
Urge EVERYONE you know to join in the weekly FRIDAY donations. We have to make this a success. Betting on 1 horse in the end won't do it. We need to start donating already.
The meetup groups should be heavily involved in this. We need to adress it to every contactperson of the meetup. For this we need some organized group to make sure this happens. Once we got the meetup groups help out we will be half-way. How to do this, see below.


TARGET 4.
Rock the world with www.100forfranklin.com and get an estimated amount of donations of $17M that will be needed on that date January 17th.
The ronpaulspayday.com (meetup) effort will be combined with this effort. The youtube efforts will be made and will explain that this country has been sold out and that we will buy it back!
Also the Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act should be used for this effort to stress that liberty is under attack!


TARGET 5.
On January 21st, when we honor Dr King and his message of peace and freedom, please support Dr Paul, who carries the same message. Send up a flare for peace, by pledging $100 to Dr Paul's campaign. Do not let history record that those of us who had the most to lose, did the least to prevent its happening. http://freeatlast2008.com/ Target is 100,000 subscribers.



What needs to happen to facilitate this fundraising drive?

A. Dedicated subforums here on RonPaulForums.com (please moderators can you make a section for it? Maybe name it something like "The $23M drive" or "Operation #23" or "Operation $23M", or whatever :p?

B. For those who want to be hardcore in organizing this, I want to propose us to make use of a chatroom the oldfashion way: IRC.
If you have other ideas, please let me know :) But it needs to be something that has the same functions at least for communicating!

C. A group of 10 people or so that can dedicate time to make sure we cover all, we prolly will overlap with other initiatives but thats oke. Better do something double then to miss a spot.

D. EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE PRO-ACTIVE AND ALSO ACT ON THEIR OWN OR IN THEIR OWN GROUPS TO RAISE AWARENESS AND MAKE (nonviolent ;)) PEOPLE MAKE THE PLEDGES AND THE ACTUAL DONATIONS.

E. RonPaulGraphs.com might be able to make some nice graphs for the single efforts, aswell as the whole daterange starting from today untill we have reached our target. Visuals always do go which brings me to the last topic.

F. Make awesome youtubevideo's once more. Guess we all just love those <3

Anyways, these are my ideas... what you guys/gals think of it? But 1 thing is certain, we can't afford to sit and do nothing, we need to react TODAY!

We really need more people signed up for ron paul's payday. The goal is $500,000 a week. Currently only 428 people signed up, translating to $8150 a week.

A good many of us will be getting large tax returns before the end of February. Why not remind everyone that's a great opportunity to put some of that money to good use!

when do people get that money?

It generally takes the IRS several weeks to send the checks. You can get it sooner if you e-file online. Some tax preparers will give you a loan after they calculate your refund, but the interest rate is very high.

The best bet is to calculate your taxes as soon as you can, figure out your refund, and donate on a credit card, which is interest free if you pay it off each month.

Some companies don't send out the W-2 forms until early February, but if you have your last paycheck from December you can figure it out ahead of time.

We need to hit $19million today, give what you can today. Spread the world, give $30 on 30. Money is coming in now at $5,430 per hour, lets push that up to $20,000 per hour (last nights pace), and we will hit $19 million before 3pm PST.

Can we get the campaign to send out another email asking for help reaching $20mil before the end of the quarter?
