Discussion/Plan "So they say Ron Paul supporter controlled GOPs can't make $' MONEYBOMB

[sailingaway]

Ron Paul R3VOLution Lives MONEYBOMB

On the heels of stories saying Ron Paul supporters are dangerous controlling state GOPs because corporatist donors who expect to buy politicians won't give money (well, they put it a little differently) some of us were discussing having a money bomb to support 'our' GOPs (or pacs to make GOPs ours in the states where we just barely missed enough votes to make them ours.)http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20130104/NEWS09/301040030/1007/news05

The rough idea is a facebook page or web page (depending on what we can get up) where on a particular day people donate to the Ron Paul GOP party of their choice, such as Iowa, Nevada, Minnesota, etc or maybe to pacs supporting our candidates and party participation efforts in states where we barely missed taking the party (Maine, etc.)

All of these entities chosen would be on a web page or facebook page and donations would be made through links on that page. I'm hoping someone would step up to create the ticker to count the total going to 'our' GOPs, but as the lowest tech alternative we could just go to 'our' parties and ask them to let us know a few times a day how much they got in donations. The bells and whistles would depend on how much support, tech-wise and organization wise, we put behind it.

There was enough support for this when I made a comment about it in some threads yesterday, here and at DP, that I thought it was worth starting a thread for people to say if they would support it with time/money and to get ideas to make it better.

Thoughts?

How about you contact Iowa dudes and (what is female term for female dudes? dudenesses? by the way dude=breasts on my language...) and ask them how, when and coordinate a little bit? I hated lack of coordination in presidential campaign and misunderstandings then and I would hate to see it now... but I am weird that way...

Upvoted and bumped...

Basically, what I posted at DP:

We need to get our tech people on to promote this. This is one of the most important things we can do to further our influence in the GOP: show that when liberty-minded folk achieve leadership status that we can bring loot to the table. Unfortunately, as our movement matures the more it will be on us to fund state parties and not just wait for elections. We're buying our ideas into one of the major parties and our influence will decide what candidates run where and have more supervision over those running for reelection. Also, maintaining our delegates status is very important to make sure we keep gaining a bigger foothold into said party. I, for one, think we should focus on IA first and see how it goes. Then, we see what improvements we need to make to go bigger for NV and so forth. Getting Ron/Rand in on this in some way would go a very long way even if they just did a facebook post that promo'd whatever FB page/date we make for this.

I don't think we should just focus on Iowa because some may want to donate to their states, and the total might be more impressive than one particular state. but let's see how people feel. I think we need to see if it it catches on, and if it does, Ron would likely promote it on his facebook page, but I was thinking we have our own stake in this and should be able to get it going. The moneybombs were OURS. But again, what we want is maximum participation, so let's see what catches on.

Fem of dude = dudette

bump

my humble opinion.. this should be a coordinated effort all on one day so our numbers can be felt AND NOT JUST ON FRAUDBOOK!
