Time for tough love (re: B.J. Lawson's money bomb).

[SnappleLlama]

One more thing:

The Lawson for Congress campaign has collected a very diverse group of people. We've got Hillary staffers, Obama supporters, McCain supporters, white, asian, black.... BJ is the people's candidate. He's not filled with empty rhetoric either. What attracts many people to him is the fact that he honestly believes in everything he stands for. That's a quality that a lot of people like!

Thanks for your dedication to this! I really have a good feeling about his chances...

BJ Lawson Moneybomb CONTINUES TODAY - The Last Day of the Quarter!

People may like it, voters may not.

 

[runningdiz]

has anyone figured out why campaign for liberty has not sent out an email asking for people to donate?

 

[jonsmallberries]

donated $25, not because I liked attitude of OP, but because I think the point of it was ultimately correct.

 

[bucfish]

I wish I had it but business is so slow it is all we can do to keep the lights on!

 

[spacehabitats]

Donated this AM.

I already had donated this AM.

I am also very impressed by BJ and his campaign. I think that if this money bomb had happened at the height of "Ron Paul Fever", BJ would be awash with cash right now.

Unfortunately, most people are fair weather patriots (unlike most of the people left on this site) and become discouraged too easily.

This is why even a "symbolic" victory in one of the last few "meaningless" primaries would have been worth its weight in gold to the ongoing movement.

BJ would have benefited, and so would all other future Ron Paul candidates.

Preserving his remaining presidential campaign funds for the CFL (rather than expending a few hundred thousand or even a million dollars toward securing such a victory) will ultimately prove to be a classic example of "penny wise, pound foolish".

There is a historic 2:1 voting record for Democrats:Republicans. However, there are many angry liberal activists that are upset with Price.

It's a safe Democratic district, in other words, minus that liberal activist minority.

No, but we've talked to personally around 15-20% of the district and passed out pocket constitutions. Many seemed receptive.

It cost only a couple a thousand to sponsor a scientific poll. Do that to give supporters an OBJECTIVE view of where he stands.

It's in the works according to my interpretation.

According to Westmiller (of the Republican Liberty Caucus):

"The CfL is not a PAC. Paul already has a PAC,
but has decided *not* to put his presidential money
there. Instead, it will all go to this "educational fund"
which will be totally controlled by a board of directors,
most likely his previous RPFP Committee people.

The primary objective, as best I can tell, is for it to
be an agent for Paul's books, writings, and speeches."

Fred Heineman beat incumbent David Price in 1994. It's not a lock.

Lawson can beat Price if he gets good ($500,000) money.

Hey All,

Been swamped at the University today, thanks for all your support on this!

 

[ARealConservative]

I gave yesterday but I'll put in a token amount today because I agree with the OP so strongly. Most people still here seem more interested in fighting with each other and explaining how they have learned the real truth about this or that.

tapped out this week, but gave $25 before the NC state convention and $100 AFTER the convention.

If you guys had seen him at the convention, there would be no doubt to the man's integrity, honor and honesty.

He'll get more of my money when some checks clear.......expected one to clear before the weekend and it didn't. Sometimes it s*cks to be a small business owner at the mercy of larger corporations. Got one that's over a month overdue. Hard to pay bills, much less get groceries when the money isn't clearing the bank....

BJ Lawson is the real deal.

 

[Flash]

Remember the old days??!!

We don't have enough people who are on these forums anymore so we can't raise that kind of money. I don't visit as often as I use to when Ron Paul was running, and found out about the money bomb after it already happened.

 

[acroso]

Ron Paul tapped his supporters for broke.

I'm not donating to any more politicians this cycle.

Too many people on this forum have a very defeatist attitude right now, or they are expecting others to make the sacrifices that they themselves aren't willing to.

I have made the commitment to donate 10% of my salary each month to chip-ins, and have done so since october. I'm not by any means living in the streets, or fighting the rats for my dinner, I still live a comfortable life. But I don't have nice new clothes anymore, or that iPhone I'd love to buy.. however I sleep like a baby knowing that my money is working for freedom!

You could do this too, and you KNOW it (Yes even you who are whining about the original poster). I can, and I don't even live in your freakin country.

 

[Feelgood]

Sorry, but I know how this is going. Im not even interested any more in RPR's running for a congress that will cease to exist in a few years. Personally, I spent alot of my time, money and energy in RP's campaign, and really thought he would stick it out till the end. Even if he didnt get the nomination, I would like to have seen them push for a speaking spot at the convention. I got all excited all over again when I saw RP flipping off the GOP by staging his own convention, parallel to the GOP's convention. It was extremely exciting. THEN RP decides to suspend his campaign, and for me the air went out of the sails.

I still promote freedom and try to educate people best I can, but when RP decided to suspend his campaign, that was the day my apathy returned. Unfortunately, those of you promoting so heartily, Lawson, Barr, et al are seemingly clueless to what is coming. The National ID act went into effect last May of this year, it is already happening. The only thing that could have stopped this would have been RP in the Whitehouse. I have said this countless times, and will keep saying it till you people wake up.

Instead of wasting your time, money and energy on campaigns that mean nothing, and will achieve less, start planning for the future thats coming. I got myself a nice little piece of land, that I'm covertly setting up to farm. Got my fruit tress in the ground, and lots of nice veggies, irrigation system installed, back up generators, the works. I have started storing away fuel, propane and all the things I will need for me and my family to survive what is coming. I strongly suggest you do the same, or the DAY WILL COME when youll sit here looking back on the time you wasted, and the funds you wasted, and how little was achieved.

Unfortunately, it is at a point of too little too late. If we had these RPR types in office, say 20 years ago, we may have been able to reverse the trend. However now, its too friggin late. Congress doesnt give a damn. The Judiciary do not give a damn. The President most CERTAINLY doesnt give a damn. They are all in on it. Stick a fork in it, its over. The entire system is corrupt to the core!

While Im on the soapbox, I will also say, Im quite tired of coming to "Ron Paul" forums to read about money bombs and website promotions for other candidates. Sorry, but I really dont think it belongs here. You want to promote a money bomb for Lawson, then go to http://www.bjlawsonforums.com and promote the hell out of it there. Those that are interested will come and donate and do their thing. It doesnt belong here in the grassroots section on RonPaulforums.com.

Go ahead, and flame away. Im also a little surprised to see some of the things moderators "move" to other sections, versus the things they do not move. Like why is it these money bombs etc are allowed to remain in the grassroots section, instead of being moved to something like the Other Candidates section, or something like that?!

Ok, getting off my soapbox now, think Im going to go have a beer.

[newyearsrevolution08]

I'm sending the following message to you all not as a staffer for B.J. (and I do NOT speak for the campaign when I say this), but as someone who has paid a tremendous cost over the last year- financial, physical, and personal- in the campaign for liberty.


To the rest of you in the Ron Paul community, I'm SORELY disappointed in you.

And this is how you repay them for their efforts?

This is how you pay tribute to how great of a job B.J. has done in bringing the message of liberty to this district and inspiring people to join the campaign?

You might as well have spit in all of their faces with your actions- or should I say, inactions?- today.

I've increasing come to the conclusion that most of you aren't seriously interested in reclaiming liberty.

Some of this group are just a social club who would prefer to just sit around and whine and bitch about how the world is collapsing or about how the evil puppetmasters at the CFR and Trilateral Commission are trying to turn us into human sacrifices at their Bohemian Grove rituals (or whatever else crazy batshit insane ideas that you guys have) instead of actually DOING something about what's wrong with the world. Others of you are just a bunch of sick personality cult adherents, and in this respect, you're no better than Obama supporters.

Want to prove me wrong? Then start donating some freaking money to the campaign, pass the word around online about the candidate and the situation, and help us get $70,000 by midnight Monday night. If everyone on the Campaign for Liberty mailing list donated ONE DOLLAR, with some donating a little more, we could hit this mark. If everyone who regularly comes her donated $100, we'd blow it away. This is really such a steep price to pay to send a true shockwave across the political system? This is what would happen if B.J. was to beat David Price, a long-term Democratic incumbent in a Democratic year, in this election. We're getting lots of Democrats saying that they will support us over Price. But we need a to send a shock wave through a very media-founded district, and to do this, we MUST hit the $100,000 cash on hand mark. It MUST happen. And we MUST raise $500,000 over the next three months.

Just for reference, the point he needs to hit is the $228,000 mark on the ticker. No excuses; just get it done.

psst fuck off

Is this guy going to save the planet if I give him my visa card, you are no better than any other campaign staffer if I ever saw one. Please talk MORE shit on what we have done and then ask us for more money. I can only guess why you didn't raise much money if they have piss poor attitude people like yourself running the campaign.

Here is a realization point, it takes much more than money to win things and insults is NOT one of them and if it is then your campaign fundraising would have went through the roof.

What a prick.

------------

I can see what happened, you didn't market this money bomb and are now pissed off that we as the grassroots didn't put it all together for you? can that be true? Here is a thought, actually put together a donation drive and promote it. And if you DID promote it, where did the advertising go? Odds are just an email or two and maybe a post on some ron paul forums? wow what campaigning brilliance and you blame us, fuck off and get off your pedestal.
