no joke, i don't understand this at all.
I don't doubt that Medina is a worthy candidate... but I'll be honest. I'm damn near tapped out for the moment.
I donated $25 toward Medina's campaign earlier today, and I found myself hesitating at length before I hit the "submit" button. It wasn't that I didn't *want* to donate, it's just that this particular drive/moneybomb/push/whatever is coming at a very bad time.
Just two days ago, there was an enormous push to get Rand Paul over the million dollar mark for the quarter and another enormous push to get Adam Kokesh over the 100K mark for the quarter. This was not counting recent money drives for Peter Schiff, Randy Brogdon, Jaynee Germond, and several other local/state candidates.
Frankly, I can't imagine a worse time for the Medina moneybomb/donation drive.
No offense! I'm not trying to pick on whomever picked the date on this. I'm just saying, the timing was just not optimal.
Perhaps another drive, with more advanced publicity and some essays on why the money donated would be considered a good investment, might be scheduled down the road in a month or so. In the meantime, I hope everyone in and with the Medina campaign doesn't judge the turnout here too harshly. This is a pretty limited base, and frankly, at least at the moment, I imagine most of us are damn near broke after supporting all the other previous drives.
