they really should make this a sticky post!!!

Mass stickieness I say!!!! :eek:
 
Hi everybody! This is my inaugural post...so I'll try to make it a good one. :)

I think I've read all the messages, and if this has already be addressed, I apologize.

Has someone done a "reality check" on the legalities of:

1. Raising campaign funds for Ron Paul in various ways (bake sales, rummage sales, etc.) and aggregating them (what McCain-Feingold reporting requirements are there?)

2. Sponsoring a multi-state "game of skill" (i.e. a Meetups contest) ?

I'm just discovering for myself how truly onerous McCain-Feingold is. Is there an elections attorney advising grassroots folks on these issues?

And secondly, I used to work for a marketing company that managed sweepstakes and contests for clients. These kinds of things are heavily regulated in many states, and it's very easy to inadvertently break anti-gambling laws. (And yeah, when your church hosts a Monte Carlo night or your service club raffles off prizes for a fundraiser, it's very possible they're technically breaking the law.)

I know the beauty of the grassroots RP Revolution is the speed with which new ideas can be acted upon. But since I do PR and marketing for a living, I'm always thinking "worst case scenario." I want to be sure that a nationwide effort such as this won't turn into a PR disaster if it's not run 100% according to the letter of the law.

As I said, thanks to people like John McCain, it's very easy to break the law out of ignorance.
 
Law

First of all, we are not doing anything that is not already being done!!! all donations will go directly to the campaign! all we are doing is tracking where the money is coming from via a website connected to the meetup site and the RP campaign site.

SIMPLE!
 
keep this post on the front page for maximum views

OK the code is in I hear and we are doing a mock up...I will keep you all informed

so bump this post till it goes sticky!!!!!!!

we may need some talent from others in the forums so if we are on the front page it makes things better for our timeline to get this project done!

Thanx guys
