Stop with the money bombs already! We broke the records, we're in the history books, and we didn't even get much media coverage for it second time around. No body in the media cares about it any more, and we aren't going to top the $6.4 million. We should be happy with what we did (and it was bloody awesome!).
Tea Party was the climax, we won't beat it because a lot of people maxed out that day so can't donate again, other people donated a lot and can't do another sizable amount. Also, I hear there are a few different money bomb ideas now and so because its all split up into multiple events they won't have the same number of people and thus no where near the same amount.
The campaign needs money NOW. So donate NOW. They can do a hell of a lot more good if you donate your $100 now instead of waiting until 2 days before super Tuesday. At the very least join one of the weekly payment bombs instead like ronpaulpayday.com or something. At least then the campaign will get a more constant flow of money.
Use your brain! Ron has asked us to donate now (http://ronpaul2008.typepad.com/ron_paul_2008/2008/01/how-do-i-say-th.html), so if you can, give them all you have!
And if you're stuck on the whole money bomb idea, think of it this way. The more people donate now, the HIGHER the average daily donation amount will be, and this will be an awesome reflection. I saw today (monday) they got like $100-$150k. If that can be done every day, that would be FAR more beneficial than a money bomb and the campaign can organize themselves more effectively.
Please, if you're planning to donate, do it now, not later.
