Utterly EMBARRASING!!!

this is a terrible time to be asking for money. Crying out loud our crazy leaders are about to start WWlll and there's not a damn thing that will stop them. Give people this one weekend to enjoy their family and just be. Everyone needs a break from the stress, a furlo (sp) so to speak. I appreciate your stamina but some of us are just asking for this rest without being made to feel guilty. This stuff will be here Monday and get gung ho all you want. People are trying to recover financially and emotionally. Peace

I think one of the most brilliant tactics by the Ron Paul campaign staff was the use of the real time thermometer for donations. When it was adopted by all the Ron Paul forum websites, it became a mesmerizing tool to encourage donations. How cool was it to donate, watch the thermometer rise immediately, and then see your name scroll across the screen?

I was hoping that something similar could have been implemented for the Congressional candidate moneybomb. I realize this would have been very difficult to coordinate with all the candidate websites, but with all the computer wizzes in this movement, I'm surprised someone couldn't have come up with something like this. Maybe even just a single thermometer showing donations for all the candidates combined.

At the very least, it would have been very helpful if there was a sticky on the front page of Daily Paul showing the results of the moneybomb throughout the day. For that matter, since the moneybomb is still officially going on, is there any reason why a sitcky for the up to the minute results can't be added to the front page here now?? Michael??

I take my marching orders from the Constitution!

Is there a reason that Campaign for Liberty couldn't match the funds we raise? I mean, I thought thats part of what it is for? Also, for instance...it would be great if they would do that for the dvds for delegates program also!

Thank you. Guilt tripping is a perfect method to convince people to donate. Now let me look at my bank account.... oh it's empty.

They would bring in more money if they would state the incumbent they're trying to unseat.

People are more likely to give to candidates that are running against a known enemy. I'd give money to a three legged dog if it ran against Harry Reid.

candidate. They need to introduce themselves to the Revolution through articles, youtube etc. and then there needs to be better promotion for the moneybombs.

Just setting a date and sending out an email in NOT enough. That is why so few participated. Where are the platforms, the meetings, townhalls, press releases, etc.

It's hard to focus on one thing with so many out there now. I am getting literally hundreds of requests for money per month. I've donated to chuck baldwin and barr, kent snyder and two gun groups, downsizedc, just in the last few weeks. My next is to the campaign for liberty. So many groups are ramping up their efforts that the focus is becoming very wide.

"The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are as bold as a lion."

I think after witnessing the marginalization of Ron Paul, the defeat of Murray Sabrin and Singh, people just kind of lost their gusto. It seems pointless to just throw money away on candidates that won't win because the system is rigged and the electorate is stupid.

This is the same reason why the Campaign for Liberty membership is only inching forward.

People have an extremely short attention span. They want to work as little as possible, so they're only willing to contribute to the presidential candidate.

They also know nothing about politics, and in their minds the president is some sort of king -- so they forget all about electing the other types of representatives, who are actually more important in the grand scheme of things.

I think it would REALLY help if the CFL itself had a list of the candidates.

Try educating as a tactic.

At the bottom...where it says this is a for profit endeavour. I'll donate directly if I'm donating... why would I give my money to BTM when they can't even mention the Revolution March or the Freedom Festival?

They just don't seem to get it... and maybe this is a lesson for them.
In my humble opinion, BTM forgot where their bread was buttered.

I am still behind the candidates and I hope to see at least a few of them at the March on the 12th...

for an office and he is also a national Ron Paul delegate.He stands for every single thing that we do,so my family has been funding him as much as we can.
I wonder if it is to late for him to get on the freedomslate?

I mean, I can't think of one who was as or more principled that Ron. They always seem to hold a lousy view on at least one issue or another.

Also, I think people were cautious of donating more money to the candidates after the Sabrin failure. Sabrin got a lot of hype that he was going to win, but what he did get? Like 24%? Very disappointing.

That's my 2 cents.
