Announcement: HQ Request $5 Million by Feb. 5
- Thread starter virginiakid
- Start date
Personally, I think the campaign realizes that they'll have to use nearly ALL of their current reserves for Super Tuesday because we've failed to give them the additional $23M needed, and needs immediate funds to continue operation following Feb 5th.

Absolutely, get the Feb. 1 thing out of the way. Everybody stop funding the Grassroots and totally focus on the campaign. While the videos, and the ad campaigns are being made for this Feb. 1 media bomb, I am going to work on my precinct organization and build the organization needed for the Feb. 12 primary in VA.

This only works if Trevor will get off the grassroot campaign and get back to organizing to fund the official campaign.

No need to be rude, sir.
I don't plan to participate, but you're not going to silence me. I will speak my mind about it and I certainly fail to see how I'm "talking out of both sides of my mouth." I've said and continue to say there are better uses for the money than a flower chip-in. If you haven't maxed out than certainly give to the official campaign. If they have, which is what the above that you quoted was in response to, there are still better uses for the money such as RP grassroots chip-ins, supporting RPR candidates, etc.
The time you're taking to defend your pet project could be used to carry it out, because as you've said those who want to participate will and those who do not want.
So why be so rude about it? If you truly believe what you say than you shouldn't be attacking me for speaking my mind about your idea nor anyone else.
I'm sorry I upset you, but I greatly enjoy exercising my freedom of speech and will not stop. Still, I wish you the best of luck with your project, even though I think any money given to it could be better spent elsewhere
I'm not rude. I'm trying to get you to stop trying to shoot down a lousy five dollar chip-in for flowers. But you won't stop. All you have to do is live and let live but you won't stop attacking something so simple and insignificant as a five dollar chip-in. Calling it your free speech right to say on the one hand "I would never dream of telling anyone how to spend their money" and on the other hand saying " donate to this or give to that but the flowers are a waste of money" is talking out of both sides of your mouth. Calling me rude is also just more B. as in Blowing and S. as in Smoke.
I was asking for someone to start a chip-in for some flowers and you simply could not let it happen without trying to shoot it down. Many here try to shoot one or another thing down on the argument they know how to spend someone else's money better. NO. You DO NOT know how to allocate grassroots funds better than I do if the funds in question are coming out of MY pocket. I want to participate in a five dollar flower chip-in for the anniversary. Now please quit trying to shoot down this simple modest attempt to achieve the necessary organization to allow it to happen.
You greatly enjoy exercising your free speech. To what end? To better allocate funds which are not yours? To destroy a simple attempt to organize a modest chip-in? Do I really have to start a new thread to accomplish this simple thing?
Why would anyone be so tenacious about arguing against a five dollar chip-in for flowers for Carol and Ron? Why? What manner of enjoyment is gained by your efforts? One can only wonder.

Thank you for proving my point about you being rude, although I'd say you've ventured into a level past rude with this latest post. I still think money could be better spent elsewhere, but I'll do you the favor of dropping the issue, mainly because it's clear for all your talk of me "not stopping" you won't.
Goodluck with your chip-in and have a nice day.
I'm broke. I have almost nothing left in my bank account. I've contributed over $300 since the last week of the 3rd Q (25, 151, & 51 - for 11/5, 12/16, 1/21). I have no discretionary income and no job. That said, tell me the day and time, and I will be there with my biggest possible contribution. I will find somethings to sell on ebay or whatever, even if I end up selling it below value. The way i see it, it's now or never. I doubt i can continue finding money to donate, months from now, so if my contribution now, keeps Dr. Paul in the race beyond Feb 5th, hopefully the new supporters that come in will pick up some of my slack the rest of the year.
If you truly support Ron Paul and what this whole campaign is about, i know you feel like i do that there is no time to ponder defeat, nor is there ANY reason to think of quitting or going to support a "winner". We've come so so far from the days when $1 million in a week was amazing. $12 million in a quarter was also seen as setting ourselves up for embarrassment, especially when we could only muster around $2 mil, right before Nov 5th (already a full month in to the 4th quarter). The fact that we are even throwing around ideas to make $10 million in a day, and can do so with straight faces, is another reason to be hopeful. We can get this $5 million+ done, and we need to get it done. We won't have an opportunity to elect a person like this, for another couple decades, if ever again. We're still in this thing and let's not let up just yet. Ron Paul has already said, he's done when we're done. We're all counting on each other to dig deep, so let's do it.
