11.11.11 Support The Troops Moneybomb planning thread

[realtonygoodwin]

Why November 11th?

1. A November 5th Moneybomb is forbidden from being promoted here.
2. November 11th overwhelming beat November 5th in a poll.
3. 11.11.11 and 11-11-11 just look cool.
4. November 11th is Armistice Day/Veteran's Day. The evidence shows that the troops overwhelmingly support Ron Paul over any other candidate. We need to show that we support them supporting Ron Paul.
5. Some voters mistakenly think Ron Paul is against the troops. This will get some positive media and maybe some interviews with Ron Paul showing that this isn't the case.

If you are anti-war or anti-military, consider this a moneybomb to support the troops by bringing them home and not causing them to be out around the world fighting the wars you disagree with.

What can we do?

1. Promote, promote, promote. It appears there will be a Constitution Day Moneybomb and a Black this Out! MoneyBomb prior to this one, as well as a end of quarter push for the last part of September. After those, this moneybomb will need to be pushed hard.
By November, hopefully the voting public will be more engaged into election season. Facebook ads, a website, maybe even Google ads might be a good idea. We need to blitz Youtube, and the entire Internet in order to turn this into a HUGE moneybomb.
Please share any ideas, artwork, websites, videos, or anything else you can in this thread.
WE CAN DO IT!!

Veteran's Day is a perfect vehicle for the R3VOLUTION! We get to talk about all the support RP gets from the military. We get to be Patriotic. And we get to raise a whole bunch of $ for Dr. Paul!

Anyone think there should be any significance with the time 11:11?

Mini bombs from 11am-12pm and 11pm-12am hopefully really exploding around 11:11?

[Zarn Solen]

Maybe we shouldn't start at midnight but carry into the next day starting at 11:11?

Here is a flyer I put together earlier today:

I called it a fundraiser because 'Money Bomb' just doesn't sound right when talking about the military/veterans...I dunno? lol

[Paul4Prez]

Obviously, the website will prominently feature a picture of the only candidate with military experience, a certain young Air Force captain/flight surgeon.....

[realtonygoodwin]

Well, Rick Perry was also in the Air Force.

[RileyE104]

Well, Rick Perry was also in the Air Force.

The funny thing is that when Paul was leaving the Air Force in '68, Perry was trying out to become a cheerleader in college...

Was Perry a Democrat or Republican back then...?

[mtmedlin]

I would love to see a video of the same quality as "The One" that stresses that RP was in the Air Force and that in 07' he got more money from the Military then any other candidate. Perfect message to push for this event!

[realtonygoodwin]

Definitely need some great videos, but I think a website is important as well.

Ron Paul's received more support from military than any other Republican candidate combined - and I know there are tons of tubez out there of military endorsements for Paul - couldn't be too hard to find some new ones to promote this.

[realtonygoodwin]

Except we can't legally make endorsements.

[V3n]

I've never served, so I admit I don't know what I'm talking about, and am honestly wondering..

I thought there was a rule against protesting a war in uniform if you are or have ever been in the military.
Are you saying it's against the law as active-duty to endorse a candidate?
Can veterans make endorsements either in uniform or out of uniform?

(I'm sure I've seen veterans endorse Ron Paul in uniform - but they may have been breaking the law - it would certainly do more harm than good to have anyone break the law for a donation video)

11/10 is the birthday of the Marine Corps, for whatever that's worth.

Check out this link, it pretty much lays out what we can and cannot do.

Love the enthusiasm but we need to be focusing on 9-17 right now.

Excellent! I appreciate the link.. bookmarked!

this is going to kick ass

[Ronpauljones]

How about this praise from the GOP messiah himself...

Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country.
-Ronald Reagan

Ron Paul served as a flight surgeon from 1963 to 1968 in the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard. Only about 5 percent of congressmen today are veterans, he said.

[Paul4Prez]

September, October, November.... Who says Romney and Perry will be the top fundraisers? They will run out of $2500 check writers soon enough....

[parocks]

Definitely need some great videos, but I think a website is important as well.

Watch what's happening with http://blackthisout.com - it is hoped that that site will become versatile enough to become basically a "money bomb" site, and not a site about a specific moneybomb. 111111.com or whatever the best url is could simply be forwarded to the other site. that other moneybomb will be gathering data, email addresses, and the new 111111 addresses would be added to that.

[realtonygoodwin]

I like the idea of building an email list like that.

Time to get the promotional videos started

Make sure we shout from the rooftops about how Ron Paul has more military donations than every other candidate combined.

Absolutely. Mentioning the fact that that Ron served is also important.

[Paul4Prez]

Looks like the 11/11/11 money bomb is already named. "Support the Troops" should be acceptable to just about everyone.

I like it!
