PLEASE HELP: AN EASY $2,300 for Ron Paul's Campaign!

[agaiziunas]

Please help me out, I know the folks at this forum can make it happen. I have a friend that will donate $2,300.00 to Ron Paul on Feb 1st under what I consider to be really easy terms (given the supporters on this forum & the moneybomb Feb 1)

This friend of mine is a Republican on the fence. He is planning to cross party lines and vote for Obama Feb 5th, I keep mentioning Ron Paul's message to him (without forcing it).

Today I got him to agree to something that made my jaw drop. He's pretty damn successful, in the $200k+ income bracket (my best guess). He's "impressed" with my ferverent dedication to Paul but issued me a challenge - get $4,600.00 in donations (of people that would not have otherwise donated) and he will kick in his $2,300.00 maximum & vote for him Feb 5th.

SOOOOOO easy on Feb 1st. So here's what you can do to help:

On Feb 1 when you donate, come here & check if the $4,600.00 has been met or not. If it has not, go donate, UP YOUR DONATION BY AT LEAST $1 (so it is a donation you would not have done if other than for this offer), and then paste your confirmation here. Once we reach $4,600.00 I will post a "CONGRATS" update to the post and get him to do his $2,300.00.

Please check here before you donate to see if we have reached our goal.


Cheers!!!

I apologize, should have made this more clear (based on comments in the thread so far). I am in IL, so is my friend. We have open primaries, so you simply fill out your voting card for which party you wish to vote for, and that is the smart-card they give you for the voting machine (smart-card at least in DuPage Co.)

Also, all we want from this post is a total of $4,600.00 in donations that have been "upped" due to the post, and if you're giving $51 why not $52 (or as another generous poster in this thread, $102)? Even if you only up your donation by $1 you'll get $26 matched for your $1 increase.

A lot of states are open primaries. It's pretty retarded to only allow party members to vote in the primary / caucus....especially the states that exclude independents from voting.

But....can we only up by $1 - wouldn't an increase in like $5 be something beyond what we normally would have? That makes it 5 times easier.

 

[newyearsrevolution08]

reason I am asking though, making sure whoever is posting this KNOWS the rules in his or her state is all.

Many here in cali still think they can go vote for ron paul even though they are democrats. Many people really dont know the rules in their own states.

I was only gonna donate $51 for the Feb 1st money bomb, but since it seems like your from IL like me, I will double that to 102$ for this wager of yours.

I apologize, should have made this more clear. I am from Illinois, it is an open primary. IL is also Obama country, he has been a media darling here since day 1 (it is HIS state). He also has a huge appeal to young voters here, and I tell you most of it is based on MSM & local media coverage.

 

[FSP-Rebel]

I'm still a little hazy on the details and would like to participate.

So your $102 has now become $153! Kudos!

C'mon guys, even if you make your $51 donation $52, now it becomes $78 for your extra $1 investment. I want this to happen, please.

I know, I know... $2300.00: small potatoes in the grand scheme of things, but if we got just 100 people doing the same thing it would be $230k, almost a week's worth of regular donations.

Just up it at least a buck and let us make an "easy" victory.

I'm also from IL, and I'll now donate 71 instead of 51 as I planned, I'll post when I do

 

[bkreigh]

From Maine ill donate 76 instead of 51 +$25

 

[Crickett]

From Arkansas. I will donate $61. in stead of $51. because of this message. Are you sure it counts if someone who was already donating just makes a larger donation because of you? We want that guys$2300 AND we want his vote!

 

[omi222]

I was going to give my first $25 on 2/1 , but I'll make it $51 now. +$26

 

[tamor]

In Illinois you can switch parties at the primary polling place

 

[ErikBlack]

Getting donations from people who would otherwise not have donated is not the same as getting people who always donate to donate a little more than they had planned. Check your logic.

Read post #8. sounds like it will count. If not so be it. Donate more anyway!

He's "impressed" with my fervent dedication to Paul but issued me a challenge - get $4,600.00 in donations (of people that would not have otherwise donated) and he will kick in his $2,300.00 maximum & vote for him Feb 5th.

Here is a start for you...I was only going to give $51 but I upped it because every vote counts and every dollar counts. Get your buddy to stick to his word!!!
