Rand Paul Money Bomb ends Monday! Falling behind goal!

[philipped]

If Randal is able to get some of his legislation through such as the Hemp proposal, Redeem Act, Audit the fed, among others, then I'd argue it was money well spent. it certainly wasn't going to happen with a Reid controlled senate.

I would note too that Pat Roberts was one of the only Republicans to support Rand in the Cuban Embargo debate.

Nope

Do you work for Rand PAC? Just curious, as this was apparently your first thread post on the forums? Trying to get forum members to give money? Sounds like another member that has been around here for a while....



I think it's more than a proven fact at this point that Ron Paul Inc., unfortunately even now Ron Paul maybe, want little or nothing to do with the grassroots other than for their money. ESPECIALLY because of the fringe among us...you know, those of us that don't believe every single wonderful thing from the gubberment?

But, for someone like Rand that has made some great inroads in the establishment and their moneybags, shouldn't this be at like $10,000,000 by now?

I don't work for any campaigns, pac, etc. I figured this should be posted somewhere. I actually have only posted like 2 or 3 things here before. DailyPaul is not doing much Rand stuff so I figured this site would be more welcoming to a post about Money bombs. After making this post the money has more than doubled so I feel pretty good about posting it lol. I am not trying to get people to give money to anything they don't want too. This site seems welcoming to Rand becoming president.

It is, some are just very cautious and I believe they have all the right to be tbh. But isn't it odd though that as of now they are at 83,000 which puts them severely under their limit at the original set cut-off date. Is it a lack of a strong grassroots engagement?, poor time management of the actual mb?, ineffective marketing? Whatever the issue is I believe that the next money bomb (the one I would assume after announcement) needs to make this L look like it almost didn't even happen.

My $0.02.

Whenever Rand has a legitimate money bomb, I am sure it will be big. I have been very impressed with Rand's campaign so far. They have used social media far better than all the other contenders combined. The goal was 150,000 so you know this was a small one. I feel many people are comparing this to the ones that Ron would raise 2 million. Rand hasn't declared he is even running yet! And many of those were during the primaries. If the next one is the announcement then yes it will be a much bigger deal.

Moneybombs are so 2008.

I think the point of this money bomb was just to come off as low key. I don't think they want to send the full on message of campaign financing yet. This is especially true since he hasn't even formally declared yet. I think about 50k is good for this little money bomb. I would agree that future money bombs need to be better advertised.

Almost seems like a test of how much a last minute Twitter/Facebook fund-raiser via Rand's accounts could raise. Isn't "libertarian girl" involved in Rand's social media accounts now?

This was the first reference I found on Twitter, on a Friday night. As others have said, many people are off the computer on the weekends.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Oh yeah, and just to state the obvious, this type of fund-raiser is another way to build RandPACs donor list.

 

[Smitty]

I think a big part of the problem is that the concept is so vague.

People understand how money works in a campaign, but it's not exactly clear how money could be used to bring about an audit of the Fed. And, as noted in previous posts in this thread, PAC's frequently use their funds to assist other campaigns. So obviously, one never really knows how their donations to a PAC will be used.

So, how is the money that was donated going to be used to generate an audit of the Fed?

 

[Natural Citizen]

I'm still baffled by the notion that people actually believe that a genuine and true audit of the fed will ever happen. Do we understand the depth of a true audit of the fed? What such a schematic to do so would contain? I've went through what a genuine audit of the fed is supposed to look like around here a couple of times. I mean, it's here some place. No offense but Rand's schematic for an audit of the fed is shallow.

And something else. Heh. The global/world debt is 57 trillion smackers. That's right. 57 trillion. And because of this reality nations are scrambling. Currencies and financial clearing models are evolving. Economic infrastructure is changing.

 

[philipped]

My bad about the multiple posts. Internet was wilding out.

 

[orenbus]

There was no SSL on the initial form page?

 

[r3volution 3.0]

I don't believe Randal got involved in that during the primary only at the end. A big part of it was trying to ensure the GOP won the majority of the Senate since Reid was stymying all his legislative proposals. I would assume he had assurance from McConnell that as senate leader he would allow those proposals to go up for a vote. Which it looks like he is going to follow through on. Roberts opponent IIRC was a super liberal in disguise running as an independent.

If Randal is able to get some of his legislation through such as the Hemp proposal, Redeem Act, Audit the fed, among others, then I'd argue it was money well spent. it certainly wasn't going to happen with a Reid controlled senate.

Bingo

Playing the game (successfully) require a more complex strategy than "support the good guys, fight the bad guys."
