[philipsantamaria]

everything is purely speculation at this point... oct 15th is the date
it should be good though

I talked to RP's fundraising director when RP was in Ft. Worth and it is not looking as positive as I had hoped....

All Ron Paul supporters need to DONATE!

that's a little vague

Is it known how much he made from the top 25 meetup groups in those couple of weeks? I'd very much like to know!

I'm guessing it should be double of what he got in the 2nd quarter. I'm saying around 4 million. I don't think he's going to really start raking in the money until he starts spending the money on tv, radio, etc... Most people still don't know about him, but once they do and if they're as passionate as we are then he's going to rake in some big bucks. One thing we have to always remember is that the special interest are not funding his campaign. It's alot harder for him to raise the cash.

We'd better do a lot better than that. The campaign has a lot more expenses than they did back then. They have more than tripled the staff and have moved into a MUCH larger, much more expensive, campaign headquarters. Not to mention, if we want to have a chance in hell, there has to be a lot of money in the bank to conduct a nationwide media campaign.

From my ties to HQ, it's so far this Quarter, less than 2 million.

It's apparently ALOT less than last quarter.

My understanding is he hit alot of people after his bash with Guiliani, but his 'flame' has fizzled a bit.

Hopefully that flame will pick back up now that he's had a go with Huckabee.

I would be shocked if Ron's revenue in this quarter end up being less than last. I find any prediction of this hard to believe.

Better start donating...

 

[0zzy]

wtf
lies.
ALL LIES!
YOU ALL LIE!
:[ It has to be much more than last Quarter! How could it not be?
SHittt.

I doubt very seriously that his fundraising is less now than it was last quarter. Highly unlikely.

 

[Paulitician]

I'm thinking you guys are purposely saying it's not been good so that you scare us in donating more... If that's the case it's working!

You would think. But it is true. I got it from the horse's mouth.

Who did you get the information from?

 

[jj111]

Everybody who cares needs to donate as much as they can afford, past the hurting point. I am sure most here will before this campaign is over, if not already.

 

[LibertyEagle]

I don't think BLS would give us incorrect information.

 

[njandrewg]

That 2 million is definetly bullshit.

You are going to tell me that they raised $200,000(Iowa big day + Texas big day) or 10% of their total over the course of 2 days?

Lets not forget another what at least $500,000 raised by meetup groups?

As far as people getting tapped out...I don't believe that for one second, most people only donated 100-200 bucks to the campaign...and I know myself I doubled my donation from Q1, and that seems to be the trend.

Also we have doubled the meetup members since Q1..all those people no doubt donated as well.

So there is absolutely no way they raised only 2 million up until now.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Where are you getting that 500K number? I doubt it was anything near that amount.

So there is absolutely no way they raised only 2 million up until now.

Well, apparently there IS.
