Schiff 2010 Launches Donation Counter

It tracks the total donation amount and recent donors much like the Ron Paul 2008 Money Bombs of the past.

Did I miss his announcement that he's going to run? Shoot.

Well by the looks of it he did decide to run

His website does not seem to give a decent summary of his views, however. The fact that he is using the reEVOLlution logo is a pretty good sign but I will need to know a bit more than that!

These days are really hard times to be donating money to people who want to be politicians but I think I'll still give him just a few bucks for the right cause.

I would donate, but can't really afford to at the moment.

So it's a "yes" in spirit, I guess...

On the contrary, he has announced that he has no intention of running but won't rule it out. Schiff2010.com is a grassroots effort to draft him.

Since this is just a pledge, does the money get returned if he decides not to run? I presume the answer is yes, just wanted to confirm it. The fact is, is that Sen. Dodd probably has a stack of money in his coffers and he won't be easily beat in a consistent democratic state. We'll need at least $500,000 to even mess with Dodd (in addition to many activists) and Schiff knows this. Hence my question regarding donation reimbursal if Schiff opts out...

$500,000? Try $5,000,000 to run a legit senatorial campaign

Schiff could very easily raise 5 or 10 million. Not to mention that he could just use 5 or 10 million of his own cash to do it.

Schiff is 100% Legitimately Running?

Or is it still under the status as a site to persuade him to run.

 

[Bruehound]

My understanding is that this is still a "draft Peter" operation. I am very fine with that. I think it is telling that on Peter's Europac.net website he links to a newhaven newspaper article about the bomb. To me that indicates he is at least curious about this possibility.

As of Wednesday, he said on Andrew Napolitano's web show that he had no intention to run, but kind of bashfully avoided giving any statement saying that he wouldn't run. I think he even specifically said he wouldn't rule it out, but I can't quite remember. He's clearly considering it, but at this point the Schiff2010 site is totally unaffiliated with him, just trying to convince him that he has the support necessary to run.

Really? If thats the case, yeah I think Peter is going to evaluate the effectiveness of the Money Bomb and see how much support he really does have before he decides to run.

Be prepared, if we don't come close to the $10,000 he might not run.

However, Seeing how he's already raised $2,500 already before the day of the bomb, I think he'll definitely get the 10 grand.

Wait a minute, I'm confused. :o I havent been on the forums in like a week and a half.

This is just a pledge right?

Today (Friday) it's a pledge to donate tomorrow (Saturday).

I'll be chipping in at least $10 in the hope he'll be convinced to run. If he doesn't, then at least the money goes towards other liberty-oriented candidates.

 

[He Who Pawns]

I'm gonna kick in. Dodd is very vulnerable right now. When the spendulous bill fails, he will be ripe for defeat by 2010.

This email confirms that you have donated $27.00 USD to PEAC PAC ([email protected]) using PayPal.
This credit card transaction will appear on your bill as "PAYPAL *SCHIFF2010".

Counter needs to update total quicker though...

Thanks for the information although it probably won't stop any of the speculation or rumors. I remember back when Ron Paul said he had "no intention" of running as an independent.

That site won't let me donate? It keeps saying that I am giving an invalid email address and it is my paypal address? It has a - in it and I think their setup is rejecting it because of that?
