His Congressional campaign needs $400K and has less than $200K right now. Donate to that first!

Please go away, if youre going to be asking for money for the Congressional run. The only thing we are interested in, is getting him into the White House. This is just more defeatist talk mentality. Stop it already. His congressional campaign be damned, the only thing that matters is the White House. Its the Presidency or bust.

Do not donate to his Congressional run. Please continue to donate as you can, and see fit for his nomination to the White House. He said he will keep going, as long as the money is there. Do not give up, and settle for second best. It is the White House or nothing folks. Nothing else matters. By 2010, it is all over, for those of you that are clueless as to what is going on behind the scenes. Its now or never folks.

Those promoting donations to RP's congressional fund, in lieu of his Presidential run, will be the next to start being added to my ignore list. Drop it already, this is not the time.

You didn't get the memo?

Check your email.
 
I don't understand. We are doing what Ron Paul told us to do.

Of course he is going to keep going, and we are supporting him in his Presidential run as we always have. But do you know something we don't? Do you have some inside knowledge that is different than what Ron Paul HIMSELF has said in his recent email?

I sounded to me that he is going to keep campaigning for the Presidential bid to help advance the long term goals of the Movement and to keep getting the message out. In his email, he not only wasn't expecting to win (he didn't say "slim" or "probably not" he said "0% chance of a brokered convention") but he also CLEARLY and specifically said that his Congressional seat is of the utmost importance because a loss would be seen as a blow to our ideas. HE SAID THIS HIMSELF. This isn't something we are making up!

Again, if this was all a sneaky ploy or diversion, fine... I'm with you, but it would be nice if his actual supporters were in on it. I'm just doing what Ron Paul literally asked me to do. I'm supporting his Congressional AND his Presidential bid.

You are a Senior member so I respect your opinion. Personally, I thought it was odd that he would even send that email with so many states left (including his home state). Doesn't publicity in Texas also help his Presidential campaign?

I've maxed out on his Presidential campaign, I've donated to the billboards, and the blimp and the RonPaulRacing, and I've donated to all of the additional Congressional candidates that Ron Paul himself ASKED ME TO DONATE TO.

So, if you know something that we should all be aware of, please speak up. A master strategy doesn't work if the people who are supporting you have no idea what it is.

I'm confused here.

Chris Peden's Cash Redux

h ttp://countyseat.blogspot.com/2008/02/chris-pedens-cash-redux.html

True to its monthly cyclical expectations, the herd over at the Church of Dan has been flopping all over itself for the better part of the day in a self-feeding frenzy of hits on Presidential long-shot and favorite KSEV punching bag Ron Paul. They range from the usual innuendo in which Paul is said to enjoy the company of "racist/bigotted/anti-semite/homophobic/(your ad here) scumbags" to this critique wherein a commentator expresses an inordinately bitter offense at the loins that produced an obscure anti-tax pamphleteer who has recently aligned with the Paul camp. The most amusing by far though is an unusual attempt by the Lone Star Times crowd to promote the reputed fundraising prowess of The Honorable Chris Peden, the boy genius of Friendswood City Council who seems to believe that he can unseat Paul from his congressional seat by singlehandedly purchasing hundreds of dollars in banner ads on...well...the Lone Star Times.

While ostensibly undertaking a correction of the mathematically inept Houston Chronicle, author David Benzion has another purpose in mind - to show, as he puts it after repeatedly reminding his readers that Peden first attained his Honorability with the backing of KSEV, that


Peden has twice as much money Cash-On-Hand as Paul, no?

He is referencing, of course, the $143,949.92 that Peden reported "on hand" at the end of last year's 4th reporting quarter. This figure naturally seems like an impressive haul, and numerically it is considering that Peden finished the prior quarter with a stunning $363 in the bank. So where did this sudden cash influx come from? Another pundit from Dan-Land attempts to explain:

Read Peden's report yourself, and you can see exactly where the money came from. I’m sorry to say you’ll be disappointed, unless you consider people like a CPA, an orthodontist and a pastor to be “corporate masters.”
It’s also interesting to note that all of Peden’s money is local — it comes from towns like Houston, Friendswood and Crosby.


This intriguing take appears aside a critique of the Chronicle's shoddy reporting standards, but a closer look reveals much more in common than a simple coinciding placement. You see, the majority of Chris Peden's cash haul from the last quarter, and to be specific $150,424.49 out of $174,750.80 raised (of which $143,949.92 remain unexpended on banner ads), did not simply come from "local" addresses in towns like Friendswood. It came from one single address in Friendswood: 1878 Flat Rock Street, as in the abode of the candidate himself.

One "William Chris Peden" of 1878 Flat Rock Street, as in the Honorable Mayor Pro Tem of Friendswood, also happens to be the aforementioned CPA who keeps donating to the Chris Peden for Congress campaign. Let's take a look at what this "man of the people" has managed to give himself:

Donor:
William Chris Peden
Peden & Associates, LLP
CPA

Carry-over loan balance - $14,428.02

4th Quarter loans from Chris Peden to Chris Peden -
10/01/2007 - $129.33
10/04/2007 - $21.61
10/06/2007 - $99.86
10/11/2007 - $1,000.00
11/29/2007 - $12,000.00
11/30/2007 - $18,000.00
12/07/2007 - $59,875.00
12/10/2007 - $20,000.00
12/31/2007 - $25,000.00

Grand Total: $150,424.49

Of the remaining actual donations from persons other than the Honorable Chris Peden himself, approximately half came from his relatives, Messrs. Bill Peden, also of Peden and Associates, and Greg Peden, of the Alvin Chevron station each gave the maximum allowable donation of $4,600. Ellen and Lois Peden, co-managers of the Hope Village Tea Room. similarly maxed out, bringing the Peden Family's self contributions to a total of $16,100 for the quarter.

That places just over $166,000 of Peden's claimed total haul of $174,000 "in the family."

The moral of the story: when you can't raise more than a couple hundred bucks for your lousy candidacy from the common folks, it never hurts to cut yourself a couple of $25,000 checks. It also helps when the primary recipient of your advertising budget is willing to your attempt to buy a seat in Congress as an outpouring of neighborly support for your cause.
