$650,000 Left in Ron's Presidential Campaign

[constituent]

Damn... Was he really that frightful of Peden or was he trying to stimulate the local economy?

i don't know, but if it's stimulating the local economy i need to move back to victoria.

 

[Kalifornia]

okay, now Im pissed. I donated alot of money that I could have used in other places for a PRESIDENTIAL campaign, not a congressional campaign. He should have spent that money nationally....

Thanks Ron. That will be the last penny you ever get from me.

I would just as well see funds go to the Campaign for Liberty.

maybe you should read up on the financial laws and come back when you are educated.

[Personal insult redacted] There is no law that says that Ron couldnt have spent that money on his campaign before he ended it.

Thank god he saved what he did. Or he could be like Sabrin and begging for money because he went in debt.

That would be fine as well, if it were allowed. My complaint is that I intended that cash to be spent on his presidential campaign, not his congressional campaign. If I wanted to donate to his congressional campaign, I WOULD HAVE DONATED TO HIS CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.

 

[Kalifornia]

It is not like Ron Paul to waste money. Thank god he saved what he did. Or he could be like Sabrin and begging for money because he went in debt.

He DID waste my money. I gave him the money to be spent on waking up the nation. Instead he is squirreling it away to spend in Texas. Fuck that. Never again.

Is Texas not part of the nation?

Not a part that does me any good.

I'm sure you have done more than Ron, right? If you can do more for out cause than he has you are welcome to do so. Until you figure out a way to wake up the majority of Americans (which 3.5 million IS NOT going to... $1 per American?), but until then I will listen to Paul, who, by the way, is in fact human.

Jeez some people always gotta complain about something. The presidential campaign is over. The left over money can't sit there in a presidential account forever but there are laws about what can be done with the money. I think it was just transferred out to leave enough to cover St. Paul expenses and expenses leading up to it. The rest got moved to the congressional account. That doesnt mean it will be used for a congressional campaign but its gotta go somewhere. I was irked by the surplus too, but no use crying over spilt milk anymore. It's not like RP is going on a wild Vegas trip on our dimes.

Once again, I am disappointed. We were expressly told right from the start that this money would all be used on the presidential campaign. I have no problem with Ron suspending the campaign, but a lot of people gave him money they could not afford to give. Those people should be offered a pro-rated refund.

Okay, kids, I'll explain this again (for about the 30th time on RPF).

THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS!

Can you tell me the name of ANY candidate who has ever returned campaign funds?

No, you can't.

You want to know why? Because it would be a logistical nightmare.

Pro-rated refund, lol- yeah, they're going to wade through hundreds of thousands of donations collected over the past 15 months, calculate that you deserve 6.7% of you $15 donation back, then mail it to you? Or refund your credit card?

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING? You people need to think before you start blowing steam.

As a former candidate, I won't even get into the paperwork nightmare this would create with the FEC...

Look, when you donate money to a political campaign, you don't get to attach strings, and you don't get "pro-rated refunds".

Grow up, people, and quit whining.

I have no idea what the money will be used for, and at this point, neither do any of you.

If Ron decides to spend it on hookers, liquor, and crack, then you have a reason to bitch and whine- until then, you are just engaging in foolish speculation.

And you don't see a possible relationship between the failure to use funds donated as specified for a Presidential campaign and the low participation in recent money bombs since the campaign was ended?

Apparently, there are quite a few "grown up people" who aren't whining on forums, but who simply learned their lessons and won't make the same mistake again.

The "golden goose" has been killed-

what does any of that got to do with the fact that he has essentially broken a promise to hundreds of thousands of people who sent him money to run for president? for him to put that cash into his congressional campaign coffers and not have spent it is just wrong.

I don't expect a refund0 I expected him to spend it on the reason I gave it him. He could have easily spent it on a huge rally for the campaign or more advertising. to set it aside for his congressional campaign is self serving.
