Libery PAC Mini-MoneyBomb NOW

No. I assume you can probably donate to RP's educational organization, though, if you'd like to help the cause.

Of course, that won't directly help him or anyone else in a political campaign. It will just support educational endeavors. And, that being the case, you may have other similarly oriented organizations that you'd rather donate to (and that frankly may do a better job at that aspect of things). The Independent Institute is another one I really like. The Mises Institute and antiwar.com are a couple other places where your donation will help advance the same causes RP champions, and indirectly help his candidacy.

Thanks. I donate to the Mises Canada branch and the BC Civil Liberties Union. And I buy a crap load of literature from Mises.org.

They make it hard to directly contribute to Ron's political campaign - which is exactly the point I guess. Unfortunately, our only self-proclaimed libertarian politicians (Rona Ambrose, Maxime Bernier, Scott Reid) are more corporatist than libertarian.

One way to get around the foreign deal is to have a reputable person in the movement who does not have the funds to max out become a Paul Revere so to speak. You transfer them funds, and then they donate it to Liberty PAC. Not sure if that counts as illegal, but if it does then do it in PM/Skype/etc.. Makes it harder to trace that way.

It definitely counts as illegal. Ron Paul certainly would disavow any such behavior, as would Ron Paul Forums I'm sure. Although it would theoretically work if arranged privately with someone you trusted.

Keep it up! Less than $260 to go! You might as well spend it now, since it's worth less every day anyway...

Isn't that the "I'm an exiled Nigerian prince" method?

I recall one 2008 presidential campaign bid donation form specifically asking the donor to verify they hadn't received the funds from another individual for the purpose of donating it. There are lots of ways a truly grassroots effort can handle the situation. There were no limits on donations to the blimp rental or any number of independent endeavors.

We'd buy our own T-shirts, signs, and slim jims, most of us just because that's how we roll, but that's also a way to spend beyond the donation limits. We had benefactors who had hit the donation limits who could pick up big ticket items, such as the cost of shipping a skid of signs from an early primary state to a later primary state. A truly grassroots effort does these things organically, but I'm sure the big campaigns have ways of directing funding around the limits, too.
