Seeing Dr. Paul's explanation of why he puts the pork in bills for his home district ("it's their money, I'm just trying to get a little back for them"), I really want to know why we're not taking the matching funds. If the government's matching every dollar I throw in, I want to take advantage of that. The campaign says they need 23 million to be competitive on super duper Tuesday. Done. We've got another big bomb coming, but to raise money at the rate we need to to have 22 million raised in a little over a month, we'd have to triple our contributions. There's no way I can afford that. Maybe we could have a secret list of the maxed out supporters who'd like to do even more and distribute some wealth.
I just see the matching funds as a huge resource of the other campaigns'; I feel as if I have to give at least twice as much to have my money work as hard for Dr. Paul as any other candidate's supporter's contributions work for that candidate? (did that make sense? ...damn wake n' bake...)
I'd love to hear other's views. Let's keep this constructive, though. This is not meant to be a "bash-the-official-campaign-because-I-know-better-or-can-do-it-better-because-my-videos-are-cooler-and-the-campaigns-look-like-old-people-made-them-back-in-the-eighties-when-television-sucked" kinda thread. I'd love to hear ideas on how to best approach this and realistically get a response from Dr. Paul. I hear that when he comes home there's usually a caravan of supporters that escort him to Freeport, then he comes out and says thanks and goodnight to his supporters. Maybe one of those people could mention it and put it in the same terms of his rationale of tax credits or the like. Just try and make him see that his supporters see that in the same light as not taking a tax credit when you're able to.
Peace,
Tim
