I cannot take credit for the content, but thought that it was a good idea!



What started the Money Bombs? The Campaign asking for money and putting up a fun widget of the Inkwell and Quill Pen for us to fill. We did it twice, and so fast that it knocked the socks off the Campaign. Then they asked for more, and put up the Statue of Liberty widget. We blew out the torch on her and then the Money Bomb idea took off. While great fun, the new supporters need a new widget on the site to fill up and assist in gaining a new momentum. How about a Liberty Bell? Make that thing Ring for Freedom! Give us a goal, and we can meet or beat it. We'll make the bell SING Loud! But let's take a break from the money bombs for a while.

Fill the Constitution! We can still have a moneybomb and a fun icon to fill up at the same time.

What about a different kind of goal. A widget for Precinct Captains, or New Donors. Give us a new challenge to meet. Give us a goal that will show the campaign is growing not just bringing in funds.

yeah a meter graphic would be nice with reasonable small weekly goals (fridays being the deadline)

There needs to be a MAP for precinct captains showing which ones are needed in each state.

That settles it, two meters, one for cash flow and one for precinct captains. Maybe the precinct captain meter could be a map of USA with two different colors, precincts with captains and those without. Or maybe that would be giving too much information to the competition =).

I think this campaign was one of the first to give full live updates of fundraising. Maybe seeing that we are active in EVERY state, in hundreds of cities and towns across the country might put fear in their hearts.
