Is Freerepublic.com set up to accomplish those type of things?
Scott Brown has a money bomb coming up (I think). Freerepublic might think about taking a page from the Ron Paul playbook.
If it wasn’t “Scott Brown” running for Senate in Mass, but “Ron Paul”, I can tell you what types of things the Ron Paul supporters would be engaged in.
People would make Youtube videos. I would imagine an effective youtube video would make clear the stakes of the race. 59 vs 60.
There would be a website called “Scott Brown money bomb” The URL would be scottbrownmoneybomb.com. There would be an easy way to contribute $ through that site (paypal would be an option).
The youtube videos would make reference to the scott brown money bomb.
People would be encouraged to vote up, or favorite, or do whatever good thing you can do with youtube clips, so that more people would see and hear about scott brown.
Same thing with digg and reddit and other sites.
Whenever an article is written about Scott Brown, many people will go on there and comment on the article.
Etc etc.
But Freerepublic has been around for 10+ years and really isn’t designed to be a point place for that sort of thing.
Someone(s) in Massachusetts can achieve some of those objectives, and skip youtube hyping, digg and reddit hyping, and focus on freerepublic.
1) Make a youtube video saying “save the nation from Obama, give $ to the Scott Brown money bomb.”
2) Post that link all over the place here, be all annoying like.
3) Set up the scottbrownmoneybomb.com site. Embed that youtube video and a couple other youtube videos in that site. Make it super easy to give money to Scott Brown.
4) Post that link all over the place here.
5) Look, look, look for any story regarding or mentioning Scott Brown. That’s a new thread. Post the youtube video link and the Scott Brown money bomb link.
I also think there should be a little subset of the Brown / Kennedy campaign that makes good professional signs that say “Kennedy for US Senate” and those signs should be all over the place in Democrat areas on election day.
There’s a good chance that Kennedy could drop the ball on this. Kennedy should go to Brown and say “hey guys, you know I don’t really have the staff to put signs up, you think you could put my signs up in Southie or whereever you think it could help stop Coakley”
If Kennedy didn’t do that, someone with deep pockets could theoretically tt Brown and drop off a bunch of pro signs.
LOL.... yep that really worked for Ron Paul.
More importantly, does anyone here really think there is a real conservative running for office in Massa2$hits?
