*We need to make sure Trevor is aware that Ron Paul plugged it and alert the YouTube Patrol! lyman.trevor@gmail.com
*We need to see if the Benjamins for Paul guy will switch over. webmaster@benjaminsforpaul.com
So far this is his answer: www.benjaminsforpaul.com will use any media attention it gets to promote the last chance for liberty weekend and ofcourse its big bang ending www.freeatlast2008.com. Get the fence sitters to our side, the media attention that January 17th gets will be used to propell January 21st.

we'll make sure the website www.benjaminsforpaul.com gets such info on the website comming days. since many awesome ideas have come from this forum i have a question to you: if you have ideas for this, please send them to webmaster @ benjaminsforpaul.com or post them in this forumthread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=85596

going for the 1-2-knock-out-punch will give Ron Paul non-stop positive coverage for about a whole week whoohoo!
it will show people that Ron Paul is a valid candidate to vote for and that is something we have to make clear to the country, just in time for super duper tuesday!
*We need to see if the donation cap has been reset so people that maxed out can do it again for the GENERAL election...does anyone know about this? The answer I have gotten so far is "It is legal to contribute to a candidate's general election fund from the very beginning when they start taking donations, BUT as far as I know, Ron Paul's campaign is NOT taking donations for the general election fund at this time." from user Corydoras.

[mexicanpizza]

I'm in for this one. Have the organizers figured out the conflict with the Ben Franklin Moneybomb?

[charlesn12]

From what I gather, people are burned out !! I don't know...with Iowa & NH over and low results for Ron Paul...Doesn't set well with many folks.

I am donating but cause of money problems, has to be on the low side.

April 15th around the corner, property taxes due...gas and other utility bills skyrocketing to the moon and further.....don't know....

[Rebel Resource]

why is there only 7k pledges? doesn't seem to be rising too fast.........perhaps the pledge system is less important now we are confident about the size of support we have

If HQ plugged it to all their email list, we'd probably smash $10m.

[Cindy]

RP plugged it on CNN a few days ago. I'll be donating something, not sure how much.

[colecrowe]

It's not a moneybomb--it's a fundraiser.

I think we should definitely not think of this in the same way we thought of the nov 5 and dec 16 money bombs. This started as a small-amount fundraiser, even as little as $10 per person if that's all we could afford--trying to get as many donors as possible was the goal--not a record shattering amount. Even a million dollars would be wonderful for the campaign and for morale. Even more important of a number will be the # of donors and # of new donors.

But I do think the people on the http://www.donate2008.org/, the http://teaparty07.com/, and the http://thisnovember5th.com/ mailing lists, should get a message like now (earlier is better) and early in the morning on Jan 21. As long as it is ONLY 2 EMAILS and no more, I don't see that anyone would object. They should make sure that there is an easy way to unsubscribe in that email--that also would make people feel a ton better about it.

As well as a bulletin to the myspace friends, a facebook alert, and an email from Bydlak.


Nobody on meetup http://ronpaul.meetup.com/, myspace http://myspace.com/ronpaul2008, and facebook http://facebook.com/profile.php?id=6233046685 knows.

I just made it an event (fundraiser--not "money bomb") for our meetup, and I am messaging about 5 meetups around me to do the same--but almost absolutely nobody in any of the meetups knows about the Jan 21st MLK fundraiser at http://freeatlast2008.com/

This is a huge problem and a huge, easy, oppurtunity.

What can we do to get the very important info to every meetup NOW--it has to be an EVENT--having messages about it is nowhere near good enough. Earlier is always way better. A banner and video on the myspace page would be great. I messaged the pagemaster of his myspace page.

[ronpaultag]

i think we should start a new digg submission because anything over 1 day old won't get on the front page.

maybe not until the actual day - the 21st

Bump.

[flair4thegold]

If I donate $100 will that be considered "big" enough to matter?
