Incorrect info...Lew's wife's name is Maureen
I don't know about the expenditures- but I do know Lew's wife is Maureen- not Sherrel...

Again, these fees are in line for consultants...
By looking at the scrutiny given to how much people are paid... I would probably be lynched if I posted how much I charge a month
David what should we be looking for then?
Why does it seem other candidates spend 100s of thousands on media consultants and RP spends nada?

Just an FYI - Neal works for the campaign so it stands to reason that he should be paid for that.
So I believe Sherrel Moore is actually Lew. Can't blame a guy for going by Lew, huh?

Hmm... maybe Bilderberger plants in place from the get go to destroy RP's campaign from the inside out.
Based on this link:
http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/expend_detail.asp?ID=N00005906&cycle=2008&code=A20&Page=5
Moore, Sherrel only got paid about 38k when you look up Moore in the salaries.
Snyder, Kent got about 54k, but some of those payments were from the 1st quarter
In general, looking at other people, the salaries do not seem high.
Oh LORD! I just did a bit of research. If you've got Google and other search engines, have yourself a ball.
The above is right. The confusion is with the "not coded" section. Including that section is where the larger numbers come from. Are "not coded" payments from reimbursements, salary, or bonus?
The payments are lumpy. So it doesn't seem like a salary.

Exactly. More unverified crap to help divide and cast doubt.
Paul has been doing this for 30 years.
He's no chump.
Have a little patience and faith.
J. R. Seehusen Associates Inc. is an executive search firm that is part of this company:

The amount of the money is not the big deal here.
That is not even close to what I got. I got a Libertarian radio host. Then I found his name on Daily Paul as the person who was in charge of the Iowa campaign--you know the campaign where the database got corrupted--either the program or the file or whatever--no one really seems to know.
Unfortunately it seems as though a little hardship is making some otherwise good surpporters totally bat-shit insane.
To all those that object to how Ron Paul's campaign uses their money: When you run for president, use the money however you want. Until then...
There is no corruption that I have seen evidence of. Differences of opinion in how the campaign uses it's money is the extent of the reality. Opinion. Not corruption.
Read the numbers. Ron Paul has spent most of the cash he has on hand for a given quarter. He cannot use money until it's in the bank. This does not occur until the next quarter:
Money raised in the second quarter cannot be used until the 3rd. Money raised in the 3rd quarter cannot be used until the 4th quarter.
That fat $20,000,000 check we wrote for Ron can only be put to use NOW. Not when we were raising it last quarter.
Disagreeing with HOW the money gets spent does not = corruption. When you make these rediculous conclusions out of nowhere you talk in perfect Neo-Con speak.

The salaries seem so high in some cases because the campaign doesn't really use a corporate credit card. Expenditures are reimbursed, and it stands to reason that the largest expenses are accrued by the leadership, ie Kent Snyder and Lew Moore. And reimbursement is interpreted as salary disbursement.

I am not saying I agree with these concerns, only that they are being spread and it is time that we all do our homework and see if there is:
A> Truth to those concerns over which we can hopefully exert some accountability and get some changes made.
B> False claims here that must be DOCUMENTED as false and put to rest.

Joe Seehusen was promoted out of Iowa LONG before the caucus to the position of Deputy National Campaign Director.
You can see the Ames Straw poll results for yourself, however, and that was during his tenure as the state chairman. The current IA state campaign director is Drew Ivers, who, from all accounts I have heard is VERY GOOD at what he does, the current lost file scandal notwithstanding.
