The Ron Paul Money Bomb
A great fundraising idea someone has advertised on Craigslist:
"I'm compiling a list of thousands of Ron Paul supporters in order to send weekly donations of $25 or more at the exact same time. If 20,000 supporters all sent $25 or more at the exact same minute, that would be at least $500,000. We'll create a stir and show the country our grassroots power. To join, send an e-mail to:
I'll reply to everyone with an exact time every week."

Tuesday Oct 30th
This is for the $25 dollar moneybomb. It is scheduled for Tuesday Oct 30th. Not to be confused with November 5th, an entirely different donation plan.

I am so computer stupid.. how do you do a screenshot!
download a free little
download a free little proggie called gadwin printscreen. then when you hit "print screen" a rectangular box will come up and then you can click and drag the are you want to take a picture of. then hit enter and it is saved to "my documents. you can tweak the settings to take full screens, or to automatically save the file without having to name it. quick and easy and it has never failed me in my one year of using it.
Screenshot
Usually you just press the [Print Screen] button, then you have to open up Paint or some other program, then hit [Ctrl] + [V].
Save your file and have fun!
link isnt working
the website must be down because it isn't working anymore
Save that screenshot.
Get it signed!
(when you see your name on the donor page)
+50 thou or more from today's bomb
That's how I interpret the graph.
Would have been better if the main campaign had waited a day to start the radio broadcast campaign. Then we would know what the effect of each was separately.
Remember, Saturday is usually a worse day than Friday for fundraising (see ronpaulgraphs.com). We're 40 thou greater than yesterday at the same time period, and I think normally we would be about 5-10 thou less. Plus the spike-up started at exactly 1 PM EST, with some acceleration before then as well.
It's Saturday, people are in different time zones. I think a lot of people donating between 2-5 PM EST (remember this is 11 - 2 PM Pacific time) are doing this because of the bomb.
I donated, and I never signed up. I think a lot of other people are in the same boat.
Bottom line? This is a hugely successful fundraising strategy.
that was quite successful,
that was quite successful, though it may have been mixed with the response to the new fundraising letter.
MB2 Schedule
Do you guys think it should be 2 hours? Or is one hour fine?
Keep it at one hour
The point is the donation. If people have to donate early or late, it doesn't matter to the bottom line. Dr. Paul still gets the donation
For us bombers, I think we'd lose a little bit by smearing our effect out. The graphs are the key to this being as fun as it is. With one hour, our effect is concentrated. Everyone notices.
If it was 2 hours, we might not make as noticable and profound a psychological impact. If a fellow bomber can't strike in the window, he just drops when he can. He'll still do his part. He'll complete the mission. The bomber always gets through!
Just my opinion. Either way, I'm fueled up for Mission #2!
Good Point
Ok,
One hour it is...
We need shock and awe on MB2 as we are running out of October.
RPMB Website
Hi All,
The reason the ronpaulmoneybomb.com website disappeared is due to the server host transfer that took far too long. The new nameserver for the website should begin to spread throughout the webs servers and should be visible to all tomorrow.
Until the nameserver adjusts the website can be accessed using the following: http://d212389.dn24.direc...
The reason for the nameserver change was to enable scripting and interactivity for the site, hopefully have a message board of sorts, site utilization charts, and a simple sign up script (rather than the bleak link to send email).
I spoke to Jesse and I was informed that we had about 1000 'official' recruits, but I imagine that there were at least another 200 who participated without signing up.
MB1 is now completed. Looks like it spiked from around $24,000.00 to $56,000.00 during our bombardment. $32,000.00 +/- $2000.00 - You all rock! That is far above my expectations.
I hope/expect for that number to at least double next week. I hope that we can make the headlines when we reach the $100,000.00 plateau.
I am the website guy, Jesse is the origin/creator of the RPMB. Jesse can of course be reached at ronpaulmoneybomb@yahoo.com and I can be reached at eric@nordstrom1.com.
I have had very good emails come my way. If any of you are web site gurus and want to lend a hand, please let me know. I am just learning how to do it. Website building trial-by-fire aint so fun. But seeing the results of all your efforts made it all worth while.
I would like to personally thank, Dan for his http://ronpaulgraphs.com/... - Remarkable work.
One other personal comment I'd like to make. The only way Dr. Ron Paul has any hope of actually being nominated by the republican party is if we can raise a %$@ load of cash. The party cares not about how many people, how many voters, how many websites, how many blogs, how many polls, etc. They see cash, they move.
So, in conclusion if we can't blow the roof off of Dr. Pauls Cash machine, we might as well stop and actively vote for Giuliani or Clinton.
This was a great beginning. Time to get the troops out and recruit!
Eric Nordstrom - Ron Paul Money Bomb, Project Partner
Got in at the tail end of the bomb - literally
2pm eastern my name showed up on the screen.
Looking forward to Novebmer 5!
Go Ron Paul.
bombs away!
Phew, almost missed the time window!
So far, the bombs are a'droppin
Looking at ronpaulgraphs.com, it seems like without the bomb campaign, we would have been at 25 thou at 2 PM EST. And it looks like we'll be at least at 50 thou.
So 25000/25 = 1,000 bombers
But I think that people get sort of confused by the different time zones, so the effect on the donation curve will still be seen after 2 PM EST, and I would think we should be coming up with maybe 50 thous additional, or 2,000 bombers.
Congrats to all. Keep bombing away!
Its gonna be cool to check
Its gonna be cool to check the graph at about 10 tonite..

The server stopped responding for a few min. after I donated
Maybe taken out by flack. ;)
So I didn't get to see my name, but I dropped my load (so to speak).
I did
Your name pops up almost immediately after donating.

A Poem
Silence shrouds the forest
As the bombs announce the dawn
10,000 worthy supporters
Converge, their not withdrawn
Fill the mighty Lady
With color, not of white
Proclaim a heroic victory
Stand Strong put up a fight
Show the right their shortfalls
The left their haggard ways
A modern revolution
The media betrays
Soldiers at the ready
With purses close in hand
Sit before their puters
Prepared to make a stand
Time draws near to enter
A gift to fund repeal
Of current monarchs and rulers
Reject, restore and heal
Crickets?
