Aloha,

I am going to District 14 in Texas to help out in both of RP's races. While I have scrounged up enough to fly there, I will be without wheels and dependant on those who are putting me up. While this is fine, I feel it would be more effective for me to have a car/gas-money/etc. This will help in a few ways:

1- I will not be an additional logistical concern for those who are already very busy.

2- I can provide GO-FER services.

3- The car will be a rolling billboard using magnetic signage and window chalk.

I am raising money for this a couple ways:

1- EBay - I have just joined to put up a couple of items:

a- A signed copy of Ron Paul's essay; Mises and Austrian Economics - A Personal View. This was given to me the day Dr. Paul and I went for a little ride together. <<link>>

b- A baseball signed by the '57 Brooklyn Dodgers, including rare autographs of Sandy Koufax, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider, among others. <<link>> [edit - this item has been taken down temporarily and may be sold privately]

2- A chip-in:

As many of you know, I have left my "life of riley" existance in Hawaii to do everything I can to promote this campaign. For those of you that don't know, I have:

1- July - Walked 130 miles on a 5 day march around the the island of Oahu carrying a sign and raising awareness of Dr. Paul.

2- Oct-Dec - Pedalled a bicycle over 3500 miles from LA to DC, pulling a "billboard" trailer and raising awareness for Dr. Paul

3- On my own dime, I have gone to both NH and SC to help out.

4- Covered 2 precincts from my home here in upstate NY.

5- etc./etc.

Please help if you can. My personal funds are very low as I have barely worked since joining this effort. The chip-in and e-bay are both set to expire after the primary, but I can borrow off of the amounts... As a Ron Paul Republican, with a proven track record, I assure you all that any money raised will be responsibly spent on doing the job intended.

Thank You

Michael Maresco

PS, please bump...

weslinderI'd certainly like the Autographed essay. I'll start the bidding on it.
:cool:

terlinguatxOperation Come and Take It www.operationcomeandtakeit.com is housing volunteers by placing them with meetup group members, and we're raising funds for our efforts through chippins and moneybombs. www.TenForTexas.org. Fill in your contact info on the page and you'll be set. I'll also give the meetup group members around Houston a heads up.
Yes, I actually sent the first donation to your wiget ($20.08) cause it looked forlorn sitting there empty on the front page :).

I am a member of MU773 (South Brazoria) and have friends in the area. I was mulling over joining your effort directly, but after talking to 773 figured this would be easier, and more cost effective, for all involved. If the chip-in raises ample funds you can expect me to help in any effort needed. I am wondering about the Newspaper project, is that affiliated with Op/CaTI? If so, what is the status and do you have any "paperboys" lined up for District 14?

Thanks for all your hard work and I hope we run into one another.

:) Thank you very much for your generosity

and thank you all for the kind comments, and helpful bumps

GO RON PAUL!!!

m - has no idea why multi-quote is not working...
