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.
