How can we get billionaire libertarian Peter Thiel to financially back Revolution PAC?

When asked about his political beliefs in a 2006 United Press International interview, Thiel stated, "Well, I was pretty libertarian when I started [in business]. I'm way libertarian now."In December 2007, he endorsed Ron Paul for President. - Wikipedia

They guy has put big money behind libertarian causes including at least $500,000 to launch The Seasteading Institute.





UPDATE: PayPal founder Peter Thiel gives $900K to Ron Paul PAC :) I hope this is just the beginning.

Get people who can be trusted to run it.. not serve as advisors.. RUN it. Ron has to hand pick who he wants to run it, as Romney and Perry have done.

#1; he can't chose the folks, it isn't his organization.

#2, I wouldn't want him to. He hand picked the folks to run C4L, and his campaigns, they have been a disaster. YAL was organically grown, they have been amazing. Hopefully the Revolution PAC can be operated in the same way YAL has been.
 
Well if he did it in 07...


All the campaign needs to do is call him...

Actually, the campaign has done a tremendous job this time around, now that Paul had decided he wants to win. Your cheap shot is full of FAIL!

How... I have no idea. But, instead of having someone like this simply donate money... he is exactly the type of guy we need running a Super PAC. Someone with the contacts to get really big donations and is used to handling that amount of money.

Rather than have him donate money to RPAC... I think the best result would be to have him setup a new Super PAC... call his buddies for contributions... and hire some people to run the thing. Maybe then we would have a chance to compete against the other Super PACS.

^^ This.
 
"We could write a letter on behalf of the community respectfully asking for his financial support, and have it signed by all of us. "

I agree. Lets get it started!

This would be great too. I suspect the guy is really busy, but he could probably head the PAC and appoint somebody good to run day to day operations.
 
Great idea!

Someone create a website where we can sign w/ our name and address.

Agreed. I love this idea. Unfortunately I don't know how to make a website and am not a good writer. I'd definitely throw my support behind this and spread this around though.

I don't know how to create a website either... I'm sure there are web designers on RPFs who will donate their time to this worthy cause. :)

What if he was invited to sit on the board of the RevPac? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? And I'm more interested in his ability to harness the power of the internet and social networking than I am his friends' money, btw. IMHO Thiel is a genius.

That is a brilliant idea.
 
As a Californian I say we should draft him for a run, Id actually be able to vote without vomiting
 
Alright, so I wrote a letter because I felt like it. I suppose I'll post it here. Feel free to write your own, revise this one, provide crticism etc.


Dear Mr. Thiel:
We the signatories of this letter write to humbly request your financial support for Ron Paul, and the political action committee created to support him known as Revolution PAC. We understand that you endorsed Dr. Paul in the 2008 election, and that you have given financial support to causes supporting Liberty in the past such as the Seasteading Institute. Our respect for you and your accomplishments is great, and we thought that in light of your political beliefs you might have a desire to assist the cause to see Ron Paul elected president of the United States of America. I understand that his chances of being elected don’t look spectacular, and you may view it as a waste of money, but he is polling better now than he ever has, and I think you’ll agree that something special is happening in our country at the moment. The cause of Liberty looks brighter now than it has in a good while, and people are beginning to see its value. Even if Dr. Paul fails to win, he is bringing unprecedented attention to beliefs and values that have for too long gone unspoken of in this country. Increasingly, as much as many Republicans do not want to admit, the political dialogue is becoming centered on Ron Paul and his beliefs. In the midst of the economic crisis our nation is undergoing, the cause of Liberty must be pushed, else another ideology could capture the hearts and minds of the people. For these reasons we beg your support.
In Liberty,
