Please help me develop a list of known supporters of Ron Paul who are financially backed. Once this list is completed, I would like this to be forwarded to the RevolutionPac organizers for their SuperBomb.
Please provide citations to confirm these people's connection to RP.
As one who has followed a number of non-profit organizations, I can tell you one thing about obtaining funding from big donors: they want name recognition. That is why many non-profit groups hold banquets so that those who donate a lot to the organization are announced in public. The online fundraiser hosted by RevPac, because of its anonymous nature, will NOT get the support of these big donors. RevPac must take the initiative to physically meet with these individuals prior to the SuperBomb, or perhaps have someone of status like Sen. Rand Paul make direct contact with them.
List of Potentially Big Donors:
Patrick M. Byrne (CEO, Overstock)
Peter Thiel (Former CEO of Paypal, endorsed RP in 2007; source)
Drew Carey (Actor)
Steve Forbes (Editor, Businessman)
John Mackey (CEO Whole Foods, probable RP Supporter; source)
John Mayer (Musician, confirmed supporter; source)
Jesse Ventura (Former wrestler, politician)
Bill Maher (Comedian, possible RP donor)
Alan Greenberg (Former CEO of Bear Stearns - [support for Ron Paul suggested, not known])
