Maintaining momentum...

[foofighter20x]

In the ABC interview, Dr Paul mentioned how good it would be if we quadrupled our fundraising for Q3 as we did for when comparing Q2 to Q1.

In another thread here, I mentioned the option we all have of borrowing the money in order to donate to RP now...

BLS said he'd do it if 10,000 other people in total would sign on. That's $23M.

Dr Paul's goal, as he alluded, would only be $9.6M for Q3.

So, here's my idea for we die hard supporters: If we can get 10,000 of us just to borrow $1200 and give it all to Dr Paul, that's $12M.

Think about that folks. That's only $100 a month. And if you get a good interest rate (like 6% per year), that's only $72 in interest.

My point here is that Dr Paul needs the money now. It's not going to do him any good later if he gets knocked out by the media while they play the numbers game.

Also, that'd be $12M + whatever else we can raise through new supporters.

Opinions?

I don't believe Dr. Paul would approve of borrowing the money.

Spread the word and encourage those you know to donate. Once people get the message, it's hard to not donate what you can.

Taking personal loans is a great way to build your credit. Unfortunately I can't participate because I currently have a personal loan taken out already It's not a bad suggestion. Much better then using any credit cards.

This is a GREAT idea! We need to seriously boost our numbers.

Dr Paul wouldn't borrow the money himself, yeah. And he'd think it wasn't a good idea.

But he wouldn't stop it us from doing it.

He'd just make sure we were informed completely about the choice before making it.

LOL!!

Wouldn't it be great if Ron Paul won off of donors borrowing money from fractional banking institutions that would be directly affected if Ron Paul were elected?!?!?!

I on the fence on this one.

 

[BLS]

I'm on board. But we shouldn't push the word "borrow".
Some may not need to borrow (I would however) the money, while some may.

In either case, $1200 x 10,000 would definately put him in a MAJOR position.
MSM would NOT be able to ignore him if he's running ads during the National News on the major corporate stations.

THIS..I believe is necessary in order to get his name out to everyone.

Just be careful and make sure you can do it comfortably. If you can do it without wrecking yourself, go for it!

It would be a great irony in the annals of American History!!


To anyone unsure: you know in your heart and mind that Dr Paul will win if he just had the number to satisfy the stupid MSM.

And you know Dr Paul isn't going to waste your cash.

It's not like I'm asking anyone to do this for any other candidate. In fact, I wouldn't ever ask for any other candidate. All I'm doing is offering an option. That's all. If you are uncomfortable doing it then don't. If you are only unsure, think about how much you need Dr Paul and how much the campaign needs some serious numbers. Is it worth it to you?

Wouldn't $100 x 1 million work?

I've already donated the full $2300. But I took that out of my law school savings.

I don't want others to feel that they can't donate just because they feel they are poor, you know?

I mean, this IS NOT the prefered method. Let me say that for sure. But it's still an option. I'd rather people but back on their personal indulgences and donate the money saved from that (like no Starbucks, or quiting smoking, etc).

But if that's not an option, maybe borrowing is. It's less savory, but still an option.

It builds good credit, that's for sure.

Yup! But $200 x 1 million would be way better!

Right now though, I don't think we'll be a million strong by end of Q3.

I'm along way from the full $2300 so I guess I have no right to tell you anything.

I will max out though, it will take me longer though, and I won't borrow a cent doing it.

Maybe I haven't thought this through enough. If it works, it was a great idea.

May be good for young people. Teach them about fiscal responsibility. It's not a bad proposition, but I can't get involved. I've taken out 5-6 loans and I'm financially stable. I have one out right now and can't afford another, but I'd be able to donate 100

Well seeing as we are fighting globalists here and they are for one world under dictatorship perhaps we could start an Earth for Ron Paul campaign. I already see Ron Paul meetups as far flung as Australia..
And every country would benefit from not having another American War Chief.
While it is not explicitly legal for citizens of other countries to donate to a campaign here in America.. I can see how a Charity drive could be set up, and the money delivered to supporters who have not maxed out as of yet, or are for Ron Paul but poor as shit on shit.
What yall think.

I think we should be conservative initially, and wait for big projects that people can donate to AND be involved in. It's unfair to blindly ask for donations, that's what the IRS does.

In weeks I will present a project I think many will be interested in, especially worldwide. I hope interest is there. ...

It's a good idea in theory. A couple grand in loans for the constitution is a bargain, but I think we're going to need a lot more than the honor system for this to work properly, we might need a contract of some sort.

 

[foofighter20x]

I think the charity idea is borderline illegal.

Personally borrowing isn't illegal.

I wouldn't advise any of you guys to borrow money to donate to Ron Paul's campaign. Why don't we each cut back a little on spending and contribute that to Ron Paul?

I think the irony here is that we all want our Federal Government to cut back on spending and to stop borrowing money!

However, I support the idea that we should not hold back now and try to donate as much as we can. I know it's natural to hold back and see how the campaign goes, but it's really important for a lesser known candidate to get all the money now rather than later.
