I agree with the idea that the campaign needs funds and they are asking for funds...but what about the campaign responding to our requests... while media ad buys in early states is important... the more important aspect is reaching beyond the base and bringing in the 55+ crowd of Gop voters in those states...I think Ron needs to do "major policy" speeches that are pre-written and detailed enough for the average person to get a clear picture. One of the biggest downsides to Ron's speeches is that they are abstract and ideological..."get rid of this" "Cut taxes" "legal the constitution" etc... these are great for people that are willing to educate themselves but are not good for CONVERTING people over to Paul's positions...Ron lacks common sense articulated positions...he still is, in many way, a gadfly...there is only so much support he can muster with college students, libertarians, fiscal conservative indepedents, and disaffected Goldwater conservatives...he needs to reach your avearge gop primary voter...so, how is the campaign strategy\ to reach this demographic? Who is doing the micro-targeting?

Ron Paul is highlighting actions now in addition to the liberty idea.

Ron Paul pledges to keep promises to senior citizens

However in that same article, it points out a Democrat feeling that Ron Paul said nothing about jobs. Most likely Ron Paul talked about foreign policy, fiscal policy, and monetary policy -- all of those affect jobs. So there's definitely still some work to help the audience connect the dots.

Yes. Like when Romney rented a ballroom, and had hundreds of volunteers calling for donations.. and raised $10Million in a day. If we did 1/10th of that, it would be $1M just through traditional means.

BUMP to hold this at the top., I donated another $25 the other day.

Technically he only raised $2.4m that day, the rest were just pledges. BUT, I agree, we should be doing that.

This was a great post and I ask alot of the same questions. I love Ron Paul but it seems so many are refusing to acknowledge most voters are not going to go read "Liberty Defined" and "End the Fed" and do hours of research online to "figure out" what Ron Paul is talking about, everyday I'm being asked for money and I want to help but it seems Ron and his crew are unwilling to take 30min a day and work on streamlining his message so average joes know what he's talking about.

In case anyone hasn't figured it out yet, Collins only makes posts and doesn't field questions. The cards are being played close to the vest and he's just relaying what the deal is. Give moolah if ya can.

Yes. Like when Romney rented a ballroom, and had hundreds of volunteers calling for donations.. and raised $10Million in a day. If we did 1/10th of that, it would be $1M just through traditional means.

except for the fact that they were calling wealthy, well-connected elites and we have a fundraising pool consisting of blue-collar folks.

[InTradePro]

Romney never raised any $10Million in one day, not even half of that. It was a pledge and the pledges didn't come true!

Justin Amash is having a money bomb also, and he has people on the phone calling the people who contributed to his past money bombs. (I got a call yesterday, and that's right off the script she read.) I thought that was a really great idea.

Why isn't this being pushed on Ron Paul's facebook page? He's got 526,428 likes and no event posted for End of the Quarter Push. Some people maybe out of the loop if they only look at RP's main FB page. (Like my Neocon stepfather that is thinking of switching support to Ron Paul)

There's actually two posts about it now from 6 hours ago:

Our campaign is making a big End of Quarter Fundraising Push today and tomorrow. We have already raised over 700k, and need your help. If we have a big success, we might beat Rick Perry's total and send a huge message!
https://www.facebook.com/ronpaul/posts/161907353897083

Tomorrow is the end of 3rd quarter fundraising. I want to finish the quarter strong and send a message to the Washington establishment and the media that my campaign is one to be reckoned with. We've already raised $750,000 in this push, will you help me raise $1.5 million by tomorrow?

he needs to reach your avearge gop primary voter...so, how is the campaign strategy\ to reach this demographic? Who is doing the micro-targeting?

Door to door and direct mail as well as phone calls are hitting this demographic.

Voters have to first be identified, then segmented, and finally targeted.

I wanted to let you all in on what I've heard is a bit of the campaign's strategy.

They are going to spend some money in the next few weeks to move up in the polls and become a serious contender in some specific states. The goal is to put Ron solidly into the #2 position. It's important to do this now before the other campaigns and their PACs begin to unload their warchests. If we can take 2nd place now it will be harder for them to unseat us from that position later on in the race. But starting in November there will be a lot of high-dollar marketing messages which we won't be able to compete with and if we don't move up soon that window may close and the opportunity could be lost forever. This is our chance!

But we need the money NOW if we are going to win this thing!

Rick Perry is teetering on the edge after his lousy performance at the previous debate. Many of his supporters have gone sour on him. To move up to and secure the #2 slot now the campaign must have the funds to do so. Ron Paul wins the Republican nomination by first doing well in Iowa and winning some of the the early states. This will create a snowball effect and as other candidates drop off we'll continue to be in the top tier and offer a choice against big-government Mitt Romney.

If you are going to give, give everything you've got BEFORE the 1st of October for the End of Quarter Push! It's do-or-die time. Step up to the plate and put your money where your mouth is if you want Ron to have a chance at winning this election! If you were holding back or planning to max out, now is the time!

No offense, but this forum can only do so much on such short notice if they need that much more Ron is going to have to tke to email, facebook, radio and even mention it in ads in order to get that kind of money. And if they're talkin that much money then let us not forget the 5th of Nov. Between BTO, the 5th and Veterans day we could be talking over 10 million dollars if we play it right.
