RPF Projects - Who's interested?

And please expound on why the "primary donators" should get to decide what happens to my contribution. It sounds as lot like the republican party.

doesn't have to be that way I was just suggesting an idea, we could make it so an elected board decided where best to send the money, but having everyone who donated a dime vote would be very messy and prone to gaming, but wouldn't it be good to have five ten or twenty K laying around so when something happened like the case of Shaneen Allen we could immediately send her the funds instead of slowly gathering it?

War on Drugs/Police state I think are hot button issues that can bring about a lot of attention.


There are a lot of innocent families torn apart, killed, hurt, destroyed. There are plenty of open/shut cases that I think can be good rallying cries to get grassroots support and can go viral or can go further and get general public support.


I've seen some of the police killing dog stories rally communities together. I've seen certain fedbook pages come out and have lead to marches and demands from the local population and the issues become local news and even officers getting fired.


Shaneen Allen is a great example of making enough noise to cause change. That woman's life was going to be ruined no doubt if not for all the attention and noise.


I like the idea and I would hope we grab the low hanging fruit. The ones where it's clear we can show the public the war on drugs has gone too far or a SWAT team or officer have gone too far.

If we can bring about enough cases and start to show people the War on Drugs is killing or hurting too many innocent people, maybe we can get people to look at alternatives or change people's mindset that SWAT teams over a $40 meth deal are not the way to go.

Ya, I don't think I'm going to donate to a fund controlled by somebody who thinks of me as "you fucking people". It still sounds like the RNC. Too bad, it was a good idea.

Pretty sure Casey was calling you a stud.

lol

A fund is a nice idea, but I fear someone will call for the piggy bank to be broken every other time AF posts a cop story. Certainly there are lots of people who deserve help, but we don't have enough money between us.

Doing more projects would be good, don't know what sort though.

That would mean a lot coming from a stud like him. I'm all a quiver.

I don't wanna administrate it I was just suggesting an idea, but hey any reason you need not to do anything

Your full of shit. Take your keyboard commando bullshit and shove it up your ass.

I do like the idea of buying billboards to criticize police chiefs when they are in the wrong. Of course it needs to be done in a way that partially prevents someone from getting successfully sued by using the right wording and having the right type of organization rather than individual be bait for a lawsuit. Protesting is good but not as good as other things. I just don't really have time for it and live too far away from the city but I donate to things I support.

well lets see..
I have gone to D.C. several times (on my own dime) to attend conferences and vote on straw polls, they used to joke Ron only won if I showed up
I have been in the inner circle on the planning of most of the money bombs after 07 and ran one
I have gone to several protests such as end the fed and restore the 4th etc
I have advised a few campaigns and consider one of the liberty congressmen a very good friend of mine and talk with him often
other myriad things as well as being a mod here

what have you done?

Define "you fucking people".

I think you have defined it well

Well aint you special?

You voted in a straw poll.

You're a inner circle guy.

The Fed is still there and the Fourth is still being violated as much or worse than it was.

But on the plus side you are really fucking impressed with yourself.

If you want me out of here wonder boy, ban me. you're a mod.

lol it was just an idea for doing something, I do know how much all you hate to actually do anything

I'm out $13000... So far for the legal defense of a family member who refused a breath test and was forced to submit to a blood test. Probably another $2500 before the trial. So much as I'd love to help..tapped out. Not sure Santa will even be coming this year.

Smdh.

Alright all.... I think this is a good example of why general donation funds aren't for everyone, particular in the liberty movement. IMO, what's good is to establish the idea for something and allow for general donations but after that, there is no vote. Once a very specific case comes up then you can start a campaign to get funds for that very specific project in which everyone can then vote with their dollars and apply general funds as well. This can get more donations since it's a specific issue and you can really tie in the human element to it since it's real people and not just some generic thing.

I've changed my line of thinking in the larger scheme of things and from a community driven perspective since the previous thought that I'd shared here. I also misjudged Casey Jones. So, sorry for that, Casey Jones. It happens. I actually understand your discontent in a way that I likely did not previously. Is what it is.
