A letter I composed, All welcome to copy, paste and use

First and foremost, I ask you for your assistance in making this a reality. You will have only one simple task to do. You must forward this letter to ONE other meetup group. Preferably one somewhere else in the US., however, any group other than the ones you received it from will do.

This is an absolutely achievable idea. Our meetup members now number 1100 people away from 100,000. (98,900). I am sure out of 100,000 people, we can find 23,000 that can and will donate $1000. This would set up the Paul campaign with 23 Million dollars. This small amount of donors is absolutely achievable, we simply have to get the word out. If the word doesn't go out, we cannot make it happen. Please do not register if you have already donated the $1000. It will do no good in achieving the seperate goal of $23,000,000 to the campaign.

The following is a link to the idea I found, I stumbled onto it at Daily Paul. It is absolutely achievable.I am doing my part now by writing to all of you, asking for your help, and I have mailed this to 2 meetup groups.

What happened to the Ron Paul Payday thing?

Wasn't it supposed to be $500,000 every Friday, on top of whatever else was raised the rest of the week?

According to that plan, we should've done at least $2 million by now.

Looks like blowback among the ranks for giving all that money and getting crappy media product in return.

I'm surprised we still have people complaining about what the campaign does with its money. If we are at 850k halfway thru January, you'd better be pleased they didn't spend much. On the other hand, they could already have bought up a rack of ad time in Florida. Who knows? Nobody.

With only ~500 people having signed up for the payday since it started, the majority of the grassroots doesn't seem to care. Each friday the payday pledges are netting around $10k.

Look at today's moneybomb-- benjaminsforpaul.com. Total flop: 526 pledges amounts to $52,600. So far today the campaign has raised $10,335. The goal for today according to the benjaminsforpaul website was 7 million. Please. And before someone gets down on me about speaking the truth, I fulfilled my $100 pledge at ~12:15 this morning.

Considering these 2 fundraising efforts, the argument that more people donate than pledge on a website is no longer valid.

Regardless of how things are "supposed to be", the truth is that we've lost fundraising momentum. People just aren't behind it right now. My guess is that it has to do with the election results.

The free at last / MLK moneybomb has 9409 pledges for $10 which amounts to $94, 090. Even if 9409 people donated $100 each, we'd still only take in $940, 900.

MLK moneybomb site has 34,873 views. $10 each amounts to $348,730. $100 each view amounts to ~3.5 million.

Either way you cut it, the momentum isn't there.

Well spread the word and plant seeds of encourgement everywhere especially youtube and local meetups!!!

Total Vote Count -- Combined IA, NH, and MI Results
Posted by Nick Bradley at January 16, 2008 08:08 AM

Here are the combined vote totals for IA, NH, and MI:

Romney - 443,139 Total Votes – 36.89%
McCain - 361,546 Total Votes – 30.10%
Huckabee - 207,308 Total Votes – 17.26%
Paul - 84,554 Total Votes – 7.04%
Giuliani - 50,925 Total Votes – 4.24%
Thompson - 49,198 Total Votes - 4.10%
Hunter - 4,567 Total Votes - 0.38%

Paul is in a solid fourth, increased his percentage lead over Giuliani by 300% in Michigan, and should stay in fourth through SC and NV, where Thompson and Giuliani will close the gap in each state. In other news, the latest CNN/Politico/LA Times California poll has Paul at 8%, with no candidate garnering more than 20% in the poll. The poll had a huge margin of error (6%), which makes Paul and four other candidates technically tied in the Golden State.
