Lindsey Graham Will Be Reelected And C4L Let It Happen

[tonesforjonesbones]

I founded the jazz society in my town...i know how meetings work, i know how non profits work...we have a mission statement, by laws, board members, committee chairs and members, we have meetings...we have a secretary who records minutes. All the members get an email of the treasurers' report ..how much we took in, how much went Out and where it went. All this is related to our membership. Tones

 

[RSLudlum]

All kidding aside, I have relatives/friends voting for Conley.

I donated what I could.

Thanks to both of you for doing what you can

Ron Paul's Liberty PAC will not endorse Any candidate that is running against an incumbent republican.
Been there done that.

btw, your opinion of me is irrelevant. Saving our nation is not.

I've sent an e-mail to [email protected] to try to clarify the issue. I'll likely get a response after the election is over, but Ron's Liberty PAC website seems to imply only a pro business, constitutional, and liberty stance as the main criterion for support. I've only superficially looked over the Liberty PAC website so I could easily be wrong as your experience indicates.

"The goal of Liberty PAC is to help fund and elect conservative, pro-Constitution, pro-liberty, pro-American sovereignty candidates who share Congressman Ron Paul’s commitment to the values and principles upon which our nation was founded."

Ok..so where does the grassroots fit in? OHHh we're the donators. I fully intend to keep my dough working locally...We have events and fundraisers HErE to worry about. tones (ps none of us get paid a penny)

 

[D.H.]

I have to agree with Tones on this. I have similar concerns as I am being solicited for money too. Their mission statement is somewhat vague. The moderator suggested asking C4L directly but in order to take advantage of the 24 hour email answers you already have to be a member.

I am not going to go broke with $35 but I also want to know what I am donating to. I don't think that is unreasonable. Just reading through this thread (I posted earlier about wanting to oust Graham) I have concerns about Liberty candidates being ignored.

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

well..maybe one of those upper echelon c4l guys will be summoned to this forum...and maybe we can get some answers. Franchi showed up the other night. I need a clear mission and objectives. Lay it out. Tones

That's what I want to hear too. What you said in your other post about non profits is correct; it is how they are run. Some people may not know. I started a non profit myself in the past and donate currently to an animal rescue shelter. When you donate to dogs you even expect a clear mission statement. Beyond that, you can even choose how your donation is spent. Example: If you just donate $5 you are allowed to check a box stating EXACTLY where you want that money to go; i.e. spay/neuter program, education program, shelter maintenance, etc.

This sort of clarity would go a long way to building trust here too.

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

YES. I just looked up how to create a pac. It is simple enough you just have to make sure you have a very good treasurer. Heck, you can function without being registered up to 1000 bucks in donations...but then you have to register and make it official. TONeS

Bullshit.

I know that's what they said, but that is a lie.

They can endorse within their membership

I can't understand why Conley is having so much fundraising problems...Rasmussen said 41% of people were voting for him last month...so if 41% of South Carolinians are sick and tired of Graham why aren't many of them contributing to Conley's campaign?

maybe because they don't know where to send contributions, it's quite a problem to need funds and not have the means to ask for them ie through media advertisements.

Last I heard Conley had something like $5000 vs. Graham's $3 million.

 

[qh4dotcom]

DownsizeDC doesn't endorse... JBS doesn't endorse... plenty of organizations don't endorse.

CFL doesn't have to endorse...all they have to do is apply in South Carolina what they said in their latest update

Campaign for Liberty Update

As you know, we are now in the home stretch of the current election cycle. Thanks to you, Campaign for Liberty has been waging a robust campaign to inform voters about legislators that voted for the $850B bailout.

Bullshit.

I know that's what they said, but that is a lie.

QFT! What about Ron Paul endorsing Chuck Baldwin on the C4L website? Hmm...

 

[Knightskye]

BJ Lawson is a doctor and has never run for any office before either. I'm not saying I want Graham and I don't want Bob... I'm telling you the only thing CFL can do is talk about their positions and name names in the areas. Who says they even know who Bob Conley is?

Here's what Ron Paul has to say about Bob Conley

"Some Democrats do believe in the marketplace and -- who knows? -- it may be easier to build it with the Democrats, because there's a tendency for them to be better on civil liberties and being anti-war."

"I think that we need more Conleys joining the Democrats; it's a philosophic struggle, not a partisan struggle. I'll work with anyone; I want to bring those people together and worry about the other issues later. On the big issues, we should come together."

Apparently Ron Paul knows who he is.

So much for that.

I don't know if we can compete with major corporate contributions .

I saw the comment about Bob Conley not being able to raise money in his own district as being a problem, but, I don't believe for one second that L. Grahams coffers are filled with just private contributions from residents of his district.

( incumbent advantage )

Absolutely the best government that money can buy.

ignore the cfl apologists.



....and drop bob a cupla bucks if'n ya got it

 

[Lovecraftian4Paul]

Ron Paul should come out and endorse Bob Conley. What's the rotten GOP going to do to him? He's already held a press conference with third party candidates and said he's supporting Chuck Baldwin. An endorsement of Conley at this point would be worth its weight in gold, and far more sensible than endorsing neo-con lite candidates like Michele Bachmann for re-election.

 

[nobody's_hero]

....and drop bob a cupla bucks if'n ya got it

I dropped Bob about $25 a while back (was my first time donating to a democrat, lol, of course, I never donated to any politician before Ron Paul). I'd donate again, but I'm donated-out. I can't even really help B.J. Lawson out anymore. My department's budget was cut a while back; less hours, less cash, less economy.

I wish them all the best of luck, though.

 

[mitty]

CFL cannot endorse candidates..........

ron paul can. he didn't. what a damn waste. i guess this whole operation is for liberty as long as a republican is running
