It can

If people could pass this along to any other Paul friendly site - it would be appreciated.

BTW- should it be considered a sign that the Republican National Convention is in St. Paul

I can never pass these things up. Even though I will get flack from the Mrs. I just can't help myself. I can just blame the other 199 folks.

I'm glad he has the list of pledgers up, because I couldn't remember if I was already signed up. I am...

 

[ARealConservative]

thanks everybody!

I'll sign up but I'm a little skeptical.. Is there any proof that this money goes to where it's supposed to? I don't know - something just doesn't feel so right about that site.

It just a pledge to donate no actually money goes anywhere but by means of you directly donating to the campiagn. So no worries.

 

[Sal Collaziano]

So it's just something stating that people will donate? We're not held to it somehow? I'd actually like it better that way. To me, a perfect system would accept a PayPal down payment and then on the final day, make the final charge... I guess it doesn't work that way though.

 

[Iceblade]

I think the idea is that you pledge to donate say $200 on the deadline on the pledge.

 

[Sal Collaziano]

Mmm.. Not crazy about it. I think most people will bail out at the last minute.. Sorry for not being more confident.

It's still a fun idea. It's up to the individual to weather they'll be true to their word.

How is this helping at all?

This is simply people trying to increase donations. I can't verify that everybody that agrees to donate actually will - but if we get 200 people pledging to agree - then some percentage will donate the $200 - including myself.

You poo-pooing money that is directed towards Ron Paul's campaign seems idiotic. What could you possibly accomplish by it?
