Hello all Ron Paulians!! This is a special LAST MINUTE plea (on my knees) to you all to help the Hawaiians.

The Hawaii GOP convention is next week the 16th – 18th of May.

You may have seen pleas for support to help but here is something different!!

I am offering a Special One time offer of 50% matching donations for all of you that can help at the last minute to help get more RP Hawaiian state delegates to the convention. The chip in right now is at 18 contributions and $801.00. This is great but they need more.

So for a limited time (no coupons or email registrations needed) I will match 50% of all donations to this chip in. That’s right!! YOUR $10.00 Becomes $15.00. Your $100.00 becomes $150.00.
Restrictions apply:

I will match up to $400.00 more of your donations and give 50% of the difference between the $801.00 now donated so that the $400.00 extra becomes $600.00.

Sorry but I’m not Gheminger’s Billionaire so have to limit the total. If my better half finds out I will be sleeping on the couch for the next week. Hi George by the way, how you been?

The situation is:

• There are many Hawaiians elected as RP state convention delegates.
• The cost for the convention registration is over $200.00 (including mandatory rubber chicken dinners)
• Any delegate not on the island of Oahu (Honolulu where the convention is held) has additional transportation expenses (unless they have a dugout canoe and time to paddle 200 - 400 miles)
• Most people will sleep on couches at another RP supporters couch on Oahu. But there are also additional food expenses.
• The money raised so far on the Hawaii chip-in is not going to be spent for just one or two delegates. Please understand this. This money is divided bit by bit to help PART OF the expense for any delegates facing economic problems. MOST DELEGATES ARE PAYING THEIR OWN WAY 100%.
• Hawaii is a tourism based economy. Therefore many delegates elected and eligible for the convention have to give up weekend tourism earnings in order to attend.
• The national Ron Paul campaign has been contacted numerous times to help. They have not responded. As we know by now Ron Paul has decided to keep the existing balance in the campaign account for whatever other purposes. We await the decision on this and I hope it will be for something more important than national Convention Delegates.
• Ron Paul has stated that he wants the grassroots to continue to work towards electing national Convention Delegates. The folks in Hawaii are committed to that goal. And they are organized and ready. But they need more votes at the State Convention.
• I don’t even live in Hawaii but have made friends with some of them and believe that they are organized and ready for battle next weekend.
• No guarantees are made that they can win one or more national convention delegates.
• We all know that we can get screwed once we show up or not have the votes needed.
• But I assure you all that your generous support will help at one of the LAST possible conventions for RP. Your donation will not be squandered.
• In Hawaii 4 delegates extra at the convention should represent 1% of the total vote there. So with the votes they now have and every 4 votes more they get 1% extra. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS!! Please help and be part of the action. Your generous donation will not only receive a 50% boost but will help ensure the best possible result.


Please help with even $5.00. Remember I will post here tomorrow morning or sooner with my matching donation of 50% of what you all give. (up to $200.00 total on my part).

I know that giving is getting difficult for all of us. There are many great causes and candidates. (Go BJ, Vern and Murray!!)

Please help here with a small or larger contribution and know that your money will be well spent for the revolution.

Then keep watch for results on Sunday May 18. Can’t promise anything other than a good attempt. But the attempt will be that much stronger with your help.

Thanks for listening and participating.

WOW Rodo!!

This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The folks from Hawai'i send you there warm Aloha for this incredible support!!!!!!

LOL That eclipsed by far any angst caused to forum members by my thread bumping tendencies. I do hope to see George back eventually and in good spirits. Lets all remember the ghemminger that was around before the hectic holiday season. I hope he comes back.
 
rodo, you don't have to match my contribution, match someone else that donates less!

Receipt ID: 16R30983E4646870A
$50.00

We need every RP delegate that we can get at each state convention, and to the national convention

my chip in for my expenses to the national convention. (contribute later if you can-I'll need help--contribute now to Hawaii- because they need it now...)

Hi all you great people! I'm back to donate my 50% credit. Hope you did not think this was a scam.

OK so we started at $801.00 donated and now are up to $955.56.

Thanks to all who helped. Rancher you are fine a person and a true patriot for your offer.

So taking out rancher's $50.00 the difference is $104.56. So I am now going to deposit the 50% matching on that or $52.27.

Damn I hope my credit card is OK. Only have one. OK so I will deposit that and when I get that receipt it should be up to 23 donations and $1,0007.83.

Will post my receipt when they send it. Let's keep this going and I'm still in for matching 50%.

Any amount helps. And it will end up being %50 more for a limited time. Thanks again everyone or should I say:

MAHALO Patriots!!
 
Hey Moneywheremymouthis. Sorry I think I got that link bad. Just go to the main page where the four chip-ins are listed and click the Hawaiian link. That should work.

OK I put in my matching funds and finally the chip-in changed. Took almost an hour from the time of my receipt so if appears there is a delay.


So know it reads 23 donations and $1,007.83. Let's shoot for $2,000.00!!
I'm still ready to match 50% so please help all who can. $5.00 or $10.00 or whatever.

Remember each $100.00 can help subsidize just a portion for the expense to attend for an additional delegate.

And at about 4 delegates for 1% of the convention strength we have already helped get an additional 10 delegates there or 2-3% of the total convention.

Sure would hate to lose a National delegate by 2-3 votes. Let's go help the Hawaiians!!

Thanks Matt. Your contribution of $10.00 will magically become $15.00 through this special unique, and only available here offer of 50% matching funds.

Come on folks let's chip in here. 50% matching funds for the Hawaiians. Let's get this thing to $2,000.00!!!

You don't even have to check off the Special box on your IRS forms to have money go to this fund.

Let's go Hawaii! Send more Hawaiians to kick butt.
 
Yeah like rancher says post it on the 20.08 thread as well. Thanks again to all and I see we have some nice person who just put in $50.00? Was that you Moneywheremymouthis?
Thanks for participating and helping the Hawaiians send some Hula back to the hacks next weekend.

That $50.00 is now magically $75.00 with the matching funds program.

Don't worry folks still time to participate as the matching fund limits of $200.00 has not been exceeded. Should be up to about $240.00 more in your kind donations left to match.

So don't worry I'm not going away. The funds will be matched and I will do it daily and post.

I will be depositing $30.00 more matching funds plus 50% of all you kind folks give tonight/tomorrow morning. So every dollar is $1.50 to the cause. Where you going to get that kind of deal anyway?

(come on and do it! It's only fiat paper anyway. And will help make a difference in one of the last states left)

Mahalo everyone.
 
This is soooooo kool!! HI is in awe & grateful for this thread too!

Reminds me so much of the RP $ bombs. Everyone did what they could & the support is..."incredible history"
