anyone know how funding is going

[disinter]

Who did you get the information from?

RP's fundraising director: Jonathan Bydlak

I'm just telling you guys what's been told to me.

And don't ask.

I know fundraising has been good lately with meetups, (although not as good as you might think...) and his Texas Straw Poll went EXTREMELY well, it's not as much as you might think.

If you have not donated the max 23, do what you can.
I've already posted mine months ago. I put in on my credit card.

I guess I figured I pay ALOT more than that in one year in Federal income taxes....call it a gamble if you will.

thanks

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.

I've tripled my Q1 donations. So has my mom and several of my friends. This number better be higher than last quarter or I'll be pissed. I'll be especially pissed if that douche-bag Fred Thompson has more money this quarter than RP. The on-line support has grown exponentially, so let's see if it actually translates into $$$.

I call it an investment.

Hmm, sucky. I wonder if Huckabee has passed the million mark yet...

There still is a more than a month left in the quarter of donations. The two day california campaign will hopefully have a huge turn out. $500 for breakfast or lunch and the $2000 dinner will be a huge fund raiser. If only 10 people go to each part on each day that'll be at least $40,000. Hopefully tons more go.

We also need TV appearances again. Hit the Daily Show, Colbert, and Maher again. And we really need him on the late night talk shows as well PBS.
We need to orginize a boycott of MSM unless Ron Paul gets the same publicity as other candidates.

I don't know.. I am finding it hard to believe... why would a fundraiser director talk about something that is 'sorta private' and then have it posted here. If that is true, I am seriuosly bummed.. I have donated MORE this quarter... we need to start saying to people, donate!!!

 

[BLS]

I call it an investment.

Well, I do too, but I just figured at the time it was more of a gamble.
I look at it the same way though.....If he wins, I'm getting my sh!t back, so no loss, but only gain.


For those who are worried...you should be.
Fred Thompson is going to run away with this. Watch FOX and listen.
Don't let the homer in you believe all is going to be OK.

NOW is the time to get motivated.

Keep in mind the Fred Thompson factor. There may be a drop in all of the announced candidiates intake for a while.

Will be interesting to see Oct 15 if Hunter and Tancredo can stay in.

If I was the director of fundrasing and people asked me how funding was going the last thing I would say is, "its going well". If people heard its going really well they would relax and not donate as much. If he says its going bad, than all of us who are concerned would donate more.

 

[john_anderson_ii]

I find it hard to believe too, but it's just my opinion, and I can't that back up. However, if anyone does have any inside information, I highly recommend that it not be discussed on a public forum that is likely perused by the enemy daily, if not more often.

Ron Paul really needs to raise the money

We all have to host house parties or do a conference call fundraiser.


Ron Paul could really use ten or fifteen million because of all the compressed primaries.

 

[BLS]

I will make a commitment right now.

I work 'on the side' doing PC repair for $75/hr.
It's not a HUGE business, but I get repairs from time to time.

I will donate everything I make from now until February to my BF on behalf of RP.
He hasn't maxed out.

 

[Slugg]

Less than the last quarter? That's depressing! I donated 750 bucks last quarter (when I learned of Ron Paul in late June). This quarter my wife and I are just about maxed out 3,300....We skipped lunches, didn't buy the computer we had planned on buying, and rolled $250 in change that we had in a drawer. We will be donating the last 1k next week...and it's LESS than last quarter? Man, you might as well have kicked me in the balls.

I don't understand one bit how he could have gotten less than last quarter. He's had tons of fundraisers, many very successful. Last quarter I don't recall him having ANY fundraisers. I know of several people who donated this quarter who didn't donate last quarter. So, if we pull in less this quarter than last; we're in deep do-do.


I respect everyone on the boards, but I simply don't believe it. I'm sure you were told what you were told, but it doesn't make sense.

Oh well, if this was easy, it wouldn't be worth fighting for. Let's kick it up a notch.

It's pointless to worry about the current numbers. We still have over a month to boost his donations...

 

[UCFGavin]

sorry, but i don't believe its lower than last quarter. however, i do believe we need to step it up...as much as we possibly can.

 

[ronpaulyourmom]

I donated this quarter and not last quarter, and I'm just getting started.

 

[Slugg]

No, you have 3 weeks. It ends at the end of the month. But we have over a month before the FEC releases the actual numbers......

 

[Lord Xar]

Whatever happened to that thread that was like ...

I will donate a $1000 if 1000 other people donate? Its a pledge... right? I am on that one.. what happened..
