Rand Paul bitcoin moneybomb July 4th

[jct74]

Second Attempt: Rand Paul Bitcoin MoneyBomb, Scheduled for July 4th, 2015 (After censorship the first time, this thread has mod approval, do not remove!) (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 17 hours ago * by RandPauI2016


This July 4th, in honor of the Declaration of Independence and the Founding of America, I hereby announce a Bitcoin MoneyBomb for Senator Rand Paul's campaign for the Republican Party nomination.

Polls show that if he wins the Republican nomination he may be the best candidate to defeat the Democrats. Rand stands for freedom and unregulated Bitcoin. He is accepting Bitcoin on his donation page and is the only presidential candidate to do so.

Please consider supporting him this July 4th.

“I want to unleash the American Dream. I will return our country to freedom and prosperity, and restore the principles upon which this nation was founded: man’s right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” —Sen. Rand Paul

Declaration of Independence

Edit: The first attempt of this thread started as a huge success, getting voted to the top 5 links on the front page. Unfortunately it was then censored by the mods. Its unclear if it was censored by accident or on purpose. There are conflicting mod reports. The thread was eventually reapproved after a new thread formed complaining about the cenorship. However the original thread was no longer on the front page drastically taking away our momentum. The first attempt of the thread is now visible again and can be seen here

I have gotten permission from the mod /u/frankenmint to repost this thread as the censorship really took the wind out of our sails. Frankenmint says he was the one who censored it, but it was an accident or autobot or something.

We need to turn up the heat for this July 4th Bitcoin Bomb. I know there is a lot of interest in this, and we need to organize. I have been in contact with some members of the community who want to help. Please PM me or post in this thread if you can help in any way. We need to reach out to the broader community through other avenues like blogs, twitter, facebook, youtube, etc. Cross post this thread into other relevant subs if rules permit.

Please give your support not only for support of the July 4th BitcoinBomb for Rand Paul's presidential bid, but also to resist unjust censorship on this sub, and to combat vote manipulation that we all know is going on.

I was gonna say the samething. I have no problem getting the bit coin folks on board, but money bombs need a broad appeal.

I'm in the Bitcoin community and am furthering this notion into my epic Rand Paul thread over on bitcointalk.org in the politics area. Glad to see it here. Someone else can put it in the reddit area and if not, I'll do that also in due time.

Also keep in mind, on Rand's website, Bitcoin donations are limited to $100 per person. If you want to donate more than that you will need to use other payment options, so I think a Bitcoin moneybomb will be severely limited compared to traditional moneybombs unless practically the entire bitcoin community gets behind it.

unlimited purchases from store?

I'll donate the maximum allowed if Rand drops the silly $100 FEC guidance. It is not law. Only a recommendation.

How will the Bitcoin donations be recorded? I want to know the number of people and total amount they donate.

How's it going?

I'm not sure if we'll ever actually know. Maybe if there were enough of them the campaign will release some details.

I gave a small amount. Wish it could've been more but I figure if they even get a bunch of small donations through bitcoin it will show them that it's something to pay attention to.

By the way, it really couldn't have been quicker and easier. Filled out my name, screen pops up with a QR code, scan with phone, hit send and instantly get a confirmation email from the campaign.

And best of all they were using Bitpay so they should be processing the payments for free for the campaign.

Bump on the wonder how much was donated in BTC. It'd be cool if he was the digital currency guy.
