Thanks for doing this - would be GREAT to get your documented research to the campaign and/or a news-source that will put together an article.
Or perhaps post on a blog that could go viral???

 

[pauliticalfan]

I honestly feel like we need to go through each candidate line by line by employer to make sure we don't miss anything. I can volunteer to go through one candidate, someone else can go through another, etc.

 

[Proph]

Might be easier just to make a program to do it. That way you can do more candidates with minimal errors.

 

[harikaried]

Just remember to keep your each itemized line so people can verify and also cross reference for more ideas about how people list their military employment.

Don't worry it will be picked up by all the right people

Please feel free to go over any and all candidates, post your findings here so we can double check with others numbers

 

[bb_dg]

Last time double!!!!! This time TRIPLE!!!!!!

I hope...

 

[Veterans for Paul]

I didn't even know who Ron was when I was in Baghdad... Wasn't a voter, didn't care... Thought they were all the same... As a shock to my system, I listened to Ron videos for hours, and couldn't find anything wrong with his message... So I registered and donated... And still do when I can...

 

[pauliticalfan]

Help volunteer to keep track here:

I've split it up into retired vet and active duty. Active duty comes out to $13,224 while retired vet is $6,420. So that means Obama's only raised about 13k among active duty military members.

Although I have a question about one that I found in the FEC report:

HENRY COUNTY SCHOOLS/US ARMY RESERVES 110.00

Would we consider Army Reserves active duty??

Seeing as how reserves can be called up at anytime, i'd say yes.

I've also discovered that Obama's list is incomplete... Just searching for 'Army' I've found at least 10k in additional donations that aren't included there. It's gonna take a lot of work to comb through it completely.

EDIT: Or we just say screw it and focus on the other GOP contenders for the sake of time and getting this ad out as quick as possible.

I posted in your thread, seems the SEC is still updating the numbers, add some and removing others.

Ill start over tomorrow.

 

[Lafayette]

Ok all candidates but Cain, Bachman and Gingrich are in and the numbers seem stable now, the first few candidate totals are posted.
