***Place your Predictions on MLK Money Bomb - - right here***
We have less than two weeks to prepare, but I have a feeling that this money bomb is going to exceed expectations.
The Fox incidents, the racist allegations, etc. have reached a boiling point with many supporters of Dr. Paul. We all know about Blowback. This is a money bomb we need more than any other. It is either to be huge (again) or it is to be the last gasp of our movement. With that said, I expect the total to exceed December 16th.
I will donate 250 dollars. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to donate more than that.
But one thing I'll do for sure is continue to spread the word. Because it seems like there aren't many people who know about this money bomb, and I will do my part to change that. I think we all will.
I am going to predict 7.5 million.
just donated!
My 3rd donation to the campaign! Hard to make a prediction as to the total amount, but we need to keep resources in Ron Paul's hands so that he can advertise, advertise, advertise!!!
Jesus is my Lord and my God, and Ron Paul, champion of all things freedom, including religion and the free exercise thereof, is my choice for president.
I will be blunt here
And will be slammed for saying it, but dammit, this is still a free Nation(so far) and I will post my two cents worth. This is a last gasp from the grassroots as far as "moneybombs". All generated from true believers completly outside of the RonPaul2008 Headquarters.
As well, the attempt today to get us all out into the cold frozen streets in the "Free at Last March for Ron Paul" is a grassroots attempt at awareness. Everything of importance in this campaign has been produced outside of HQ. I will stop here, you see where I'm going with this. have to bundle up and go march for the first time in my life, but we are truly maxed out here and need some results from above as well.
Tsunami!!!!!!
If every single voter who has already voted in the past caucuses and primaries donated, there would be a Tsunami of money today!!!!!!! not to mention all new donaters.
Available balance $4.79 =/
Completely out of ammo
Give it.
Give it.
3 million
Just a guess ... There are tons of people with the day off today ... if we can reach them I hope they donate ... a lot of people only have internet at work ... so ... I dunno ... just saying.
REVOLUTION!

2.5-3 million we will get
2.5-3 million we will get some extra umph from the letter RP sent out.
Anyone who has a webcam
flood you tube with "donate now" videos! during the last moneybomb the "videos being watched now" scroll was constantly showing a Ron Paul video- that helped alot-Im sending emails to all the people I know just to REMIND them that today is the day...I beleive there are alot of excited Nevadans that want to see a return on their vote and ALL of the national call-in polls have Dr Paul at the top. We are enjoying a surge of exposure at the moment and Im feeling that the last few hours of this bomb is going to see us push past 6 million- but this isnt an armchair rEVOLution! GIVE ANYTHING! LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN~!
One Billion Dollars!!
VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!
I love you guys!!

Only a few of us are maxed-out
I maxed-out months ago, but the vast majority of existing donors (not to mention NEW donors) have not even come close.
Come on folks! The few of us who are maxed-out have carried the baton as far and as fast as we could. Now it is your turn. God's speed!
Not good
Don't get me wrong I'm going to pull my account down to just a few bucks left maxing what is left in my wife's name (I already maxed out my self). But, honestly I think people have already given a lot and the moment has been lost since NH. I really think our best hope right now is in the percint leaders and the grassroots on the ground.
It will be fine - a little from a lot is BIG!
Nothing has been lost since NH - PLEASE!
We are new at this and the doc has been marginalized for 20 years. He never turned into a Politician in all those years, and he won't now.
The r3VOLution began with Dr, Paul BUT WILL NOT END THERE. We'll all want to give our 20 years also, for children, and grandchildren, and yes, great grandchildren!
if the counter
reaches 5 million. i'll be happy with that. we are at almost 1.5 mill already
Another Reason to $$$ Bomb!
(I've noted this in other MLK $ bomb forum posts, but it bears repeating...)
January 20, 2009 is the inauguration date for our new president. The clock is now ticking for the one-year countdown to this extraordinary day, when the people of our country install a new leader for this nation we hold so dear.
On January 21, 2008, let's send a money bomb that not only honors Dr. King, but makes a statement of the full faith and confidence we have in restoring liberty and integrity to the highest office in our land.
Question: What is it worth to you, to see Ron Paul taking the presidential oath of office one year from now?
MLK Money Bomb = Inauguration Day Bomb
$4.5 Million
2nd place in Nevada, last stand before super tuesday, our base is much larger now, so even though the buzz is not as great as previous moneybombs the number of donations could be equivalent even if the amounts are smaller. Everyone I know that has donated before will donate tomorrow. We should at least try to beat November 5th : )
Maybe 2 mill tops
Teaparty was huge. With staged events all over the country. Even i was excited bout it and flew to vegas for it.
This mlk day will only be used against us to show that support is dying for Ron Paul. money bombs are a buzzword for the MSM now, need to move on.
I disagree
You have to factor in new donors, new donors have been keeping pace with us in donations for the past month at a pretty good pace. The growth of the campaign will be enough to get us at least 3.5 million, IMO. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling that we're going to do around 5 or 6 million.
I have been watching the official RP campaign site
and I am noticing that about HALF of the donations are coming in from 1st time donors. Where are the others? I don't believe most are maxed out. Some may be, but not most of them. I am planning on donating to this money bomb, as I have to the others. I hope TENS of THOUSANDS of other supporters will do so as well!
MLK $ bomb prediction
We're at 9562 pledges so far. Let's say we hit 10,000 by Monday. The last money bomb days we had about 1.5 times as many donors as pledges. The average donation is typically $100. I think they are asking for $10 to be inclusive and not offend anyone. I think we'll still get the $100 average. Also, this is the third time that they are asking for people to sign up and I think people are just getting tired of that. So let's multiply by another 1.5. That gets us to $2.25M. We're more than $1M below the former southern governor who shall remain nameless, for the month, so a $2M+ day is really needed to smack him back down a little.
My prediction? $7.9 million. Just a hunch.
7.9 million would be fantastic - -
There is every reason to aim high - -
I think it will exceed most expectations.. Anything over 3 million will be great..
The reason our money bombs are so big is because we have great communication. With so many people involved, active - most of our supporters are aware of the planned bomb..
Keep calling, keep emailing - - make sure everybody knows!
We should shoot for a 1,000,000 in the first hour! Momentum is crucial :-)
Please Donate what you can!
For those of you who have given small amounts, now is YOUR time to shine.
Depends on how he does in NV and SC
I think in large part it depends on how he does in NV and SC.
If it is true that 8,000 people have signed up, that will make it hard for big numbers.
There has not been much media attention, or buzz on the internet -- so many supporters may not know about it; that could hold down numbers.
Many big givers are maxed out -- and others want to see a higher % of the vote, while others want to see new campaign leadership.
A great showing in NV and SC could dwarf all concerns; we just need to get Ron winning, and everything will fall into place.
If he wins NV and places well in SC, he should be over 1 million; if he does not; then under 1 million; closer to $500,000.
We will get a huge bump if Ron can win either NV or SC. We need wins to protect the Constitution.
I'm Mr.Conservative
Last time I thought it wasn't going to go past 3.5mil, and it was double.
My guess this time is going to be about 1 Million, and that's an educated guess. My guess will officially change if Ron Paul wins Nevada though, it'll shoot up to 3.5mil again if he DOES win Nevada.
since we are....
...being "rescued" by a "billionaire" surely it will be closer to a firecracker than a BOMB.
sadly....less than a single million. (and don't take me wrong...I am praying for closer to a hundred-mil)

$1.5 million sounds about right
$1.5 million sounds about right.
Why?
Because Ron Paul is going to place 5th in NV and then 5th or 6th in SC (based on the most recent polls).
Then people are going to say..huh..5 states...not even a 3rd placement..why am I throwing money at an ineffective campaign?
I heard the argument over and over "well, he's not spending time in Michigan because he wants to pull off a suprise in NV". Ok kids...when there is no suprise...guess what?
Maybe more will move over to my camp that the paid campaign is ineffective and Kent Snyder and Lew Moore need to be replaced immediately.
But probably not....they'll wait till Feb 5 when it'll hit them, "huh, I guess the paid campaign DOES suck"...and by then...it'll be too late...

I think he is right on target.
I think he is having a bad day too. So am I; I just saw polls along the same lines; maybe a little higher on one; lower on another. We will know tomorrow!!
But right now I want to be positive, but realistic. So, let us hope for a miracle in NV, and that Ron wins in NV, --- and that -- that event will firestart the grassroots, media coverage and donations.
