No Attempt to Take Potshots
LE,
There was no attempt to take any potshots at all. I support your activities and would be willing to help with the project.
All I intended to do, as with most things in life, is to look at both the positives and the negatives of a given situation so hopefully the best possible final result can come from any given project. My only goal with respect to national politics right now is to get Ron Paul elected.
One of my unstated concerns is that most of the people I know in MeetUp groups aren't very affluent and tend to spend most of their available money on local signs, event registration fees, slim jims, etc. It might be more effective in the long run to target donors who have already maxed out their contributions to the official campaign (but this has to be done carefully, as it is illegal to directly fund raise from FEC reports).
I'm serious in my suggestion that you have a good FEC lawyer. If you don't, I've got one I can refer. Again, I'm willing to do what I can to help with the project. Disinter (the person who made the initial posting on the topic) knows me, the amount of meaningful work I have done in the cause of freedom, my history in these sorts of issues, etc. and I'm sure he'd vouch for me.
Steve
