#RonPaulFans4GaryJohnson Twitter Bomb



DIRECTIONS:

----------------------------------



On Sunday, 9/9/2012 we will post our support for Gary Johnson on Twitter using the hashtag #RonPaulFans4GaryJohnson. We will concentrate these tweets between 2 and 3 PM Eastern in an attempt to trend the hashtag, and then continue to tweet using this hashtag at a lighter pace throughout the day.



We will track the number of tweets and participants at http://hashtagpolls.com/hashtag/ronpaulfans4garyjohnson (this will go live on the weekend).



Tips for the Twitter Bomb:



1. DO NOT use the hashtag #RonPaulFans4GaryJohnson until Saturday at the earliest, and even then go light on using it.



2. Always include the hashtag #RonPaulFans4GaryJohnson in your tweets during the Twitter bomb. Please also try to include @GovGaryJohnson in your tweets, as this increases the amount of mentions for Gary on Twitter. Asking people to specifically follow @GovGaryJohnson on Twitter is even better.



3. Schedule your tweets ahead of time using a program such as Tweetdeck, Twuffer or Hootsuite to make sure you don't forget to post at the required time.



4. Posting on time is absolutely crucial to trending on Twitter. We need to create a sudden upsurge in the posting of our hashtag. Please, if you are going to tweet live rather than schedule your tweets ahead of time, plan to be ready at least ten minutes early. We need everyone to start posting at 2 PM sharp or much of our collective effort is wasted.



5. Be aware of the time zone difference. We are holding this event starting at 2 PM EASTERN. So if you are in a different time zone you need to calculate the difference. If you live in Californa, for instance, you would need to post between 11 AM and 12 PM.



6. Make sure that your Twitter account is set to public so that your tweets count towards the trend.



7. Tweet as many times as possible during 2 to 3 PM Eastern. Sixty tweets is ideal. We have trended before by posting 6,000 to 10,000 tweets within an hour. If you don't want to bombard your followers with 60 tweets, you can place a twitter address at the front of your tweet and it will not appear in their feed.



For example:

@gov #RonPaulFans4GaryJohnson want to continue the #revolution into the debates. Follow @GovGaryJohnson #tlot



8. If you are just opening your Twitter account you will probably be limited in the number of tweets you can post, but any number helps. Please remember to post a profile picture on your account as it makes it appear more legitimate.



9. Retweets count towards making the hashtag trend. You can search on "#RonPaulFans4GaryJohnson" to find other people to retweet.



10. It is up to you to brainstorm new ideas on how to recruit people and to incorporate them into your tweets. Think about new Twitter accounts you can contact and hashtags you can include in your tweets that might interest potential supporters in taking a look at Gary Johnson.





LIST OF SAMPLE TWEETS:
