The Ron Paul Fundraising Challenge
Dr. Paul's campaign has set an extremely aggressive fundraising target for this quarter (perhaps too aggressive, but that's another story). $12M for the quarter, $4M per month. October is over halfway over, and so far they've only raised $1M. I know that the fundraising ramps way up before the deadline on these things, but I'd rather the last-minute gap to be made up be as small as possible. I highly encourage all the 2+2 Ron Paul supporters to give whatever they can. You can donate via credit card, pay pal or other methods at his official campaign site http://www.ronpaul2008.com .
I gave another $200 today. Donate and post in this thread. Let's see what kind of total 2+2 can generate. Please no prior donations (sorry renodoc; you are still balla). |

I'm all for RP, but I don't see what this post adds to the forum. It seems a little spammy to just say "hey let's all give money to so and so."

If I'm violating some policy I don't know about, then he should obv. lock/delete. |

[/ QUOTE ] Solicitations for money are not permitted, which is why I largely killed GCYW's Paul fundraiser tournament. However, I think its ok for Boro to say its a good idea to give money to a 3rd party (Paul). Go for it. |

By the way, I was totally serious about tallying up donations for other candidates as well. If people want to post them, I'll total them. |

While we're here, I've set a less aggressive goal for my campaign: every politics regular just donate $1 to me. I'll be back later with a link you can use. |

I donated 250 at 5:30am this morning before I left for work (14 hours ago). Does that count?

Re: The Ron Paul Fundraising Challenge
I'm just saying it would get pretty annoying if there was a new thread every time someone wanted to drum up support for a candidate without even trying to start any real discussion.
Maybe we could have a designated "political contribution thread?" |

Do you honestly think that I have to "drum up" support for Ron Paul around here, or that there isn't any "real discussion" of Ron Paul around here? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I just wanted a thread where a running total of 2+2 financial support for RP could be kept. [ QUOTE ] Maybe we could have a designated "political contribution thread?" [/ QUOTE ] Sure. We can keep tally for others as well. |
