Rand Paul moneybomb coming this summer

[Matt Collins]

Just to let everyone know we are working on a moneybomb for Rand this summer.

sweet..

make it August 1st, I dont know why but it seems like a good idea (start of the month plus we have 8+ weeks to promote )

We should really try to get Rand $200,000 as quickly as possible.

I agree money now is better then money later, for a variety of reasons.

Its not necessary, but it'll be a big help to get some in-state fundraising support for Rand Paul, and if the base sees him raising impressive amounts of money early in the campaign it can only help.

I think we should seize some of this early momentum and do a fundraiser sometime this summer.

EDIT: Just donated money and the response on the page is weird, it thanks you then displays the page again. Why not A) forward people to a confirmation page and B) give an email response so we can be sure things processed fine

I'm just thinking if we can raise Rand now as much money as Bunning has already raised -- he'll pretty much be forced to run even if Bunning Doesn't drop out.

Bunning's only raised around $200,000 or something he said I think?

Why not do July 4th for his Money Bomb? That gives a good month and a half to publicize it.

I would hope we could raise a good Million or so with a Money Bomb. But he needs at least $200,000 sooner, rather then later as well.

But honestly he needs money now. I'd hate for him to close his exploratory committee before the Money-Bomb because he's not raising what he needs.

We need to start some good pledge banks also.

Because that's Adam Kokesh's moneybomb date.

An e-mail blast by Ron Paul could get the money Rand Paul needs for his exploratory committee and then some.

I read somewhere that Trey Grayson is struggling to raise 100,000 dollars. 100,000 dollars is about the amount of money for a state the size of Kentucky a candidate with an exploratory committee can raise without drawing attention from the FEC. Much past that and they'll think you're raising money for a real campaign instead of the limited scope of an exploratory committee.

This will happen in the near future.

Trey Grayson Schedules Fund Raising Event In Northern Kentucky

"Secretary of State Trey Grayson has scheduled a June fund raising event in Northern Kentucky at the Home of Ron and Susan Grayson Hill."

Wondering how much Grayson has in his piggy bank. He may be the one to watch regarding funds.




I have also seen a message on line that indicates McConnell has a "man-crush" Trey Grayson and wants him to run instead of Bunning. McConnell has called Bunning senile.

Bunning in other news is saying strange things like resigning the Rep party to give Senate a super-majority.

Like this week type-soon?

Not sure. Someone else is working on that end of things, not me though. But Rand himself told me it's in the works.

One on July 4th would fail imo. most people will be busy doing other things that day and probably forget.

 

[itshappening]

Aug 1st is perfect I think unless he needs money quickly but im not sure what he can do anyway until Bunning shows his hand...

it's only a show of strength, a big hit on Aug 1st would be that.

It might be important to do it before the quarter comes to a close so we can report how much money we have. That means we have to do it on or before June 30th

 

[american.swan]

I agree with the money now idea. He needs to make plans with the money we get him he can't wait on particulars. I say 2 or 3 weeks to promote and get him moving.

Also I'm hoping we can get him some big time money to scare away the competition.

I like this.

Shouldn't we wait to see if he's actually running before the moneybomb?
