Military Members' Donations: Who Donates to Whom?
Submitted by A-B--B-A on Sat, 08/13/2011 - 15:07Here's something not discussed in the news: the break down of military rank contributing to whom.
A private, a captain, a general?
Just which rank and, if possible, personnel are contributing money to which presidential candidates?
Interesting it would be to know the kind of military members who are making donations.
1) Are the bulk of donors for Ron the guys and gals in the field?
2) Are the donors for any other candidate, including Obama, generals and other high ranking members -- you know, the people ordering the guys and gals in the field what to do?
Let's see if Adam Kokesh can get this information. Adam, if you're reading this post, can you get this info? If he's not reading it, maybe someone who's got an inroad to him can talk about this issue with him.
I would never give any of my
I would never give any of my hard earned money to a murderer. Just like in Nazi Germany, soldiers should be held accountable for their individual actions. Because someone in a costume tells you to raid a house and blow it out of the sky doesn't magically alter morality and make the murder a moral act.
If anyone has such a strong fear of people in another country. Locate others that have that same fear and head on over.

Just realized I read the OP
Just realized I read the OP wrong. Doh!
Would higher ups donate?
It does make you wonder what ranks are FOr ron paul though.
Odds are privates but there has to be some higher ups.
High-ups, Other Idea
Yeah, there might be higher-ups. I see no reason why there wouldn't be. But my suspicion is most military donors are in-the-field people. What do you think: get this info circulating in the news?
Speaking of ideas, here're some I came across a few minutes ago: http://www.dailypaul.com/174142/what-will-our-2012-blimp-be.
The poster makes good points. As he said, hopefully someone can act on it. Most comments and posts on the DP are excellent leads, a purpose that's of great benefit for RPers especially because there maaaany people who read the DP but don't have a DP account.
And, you're right, RP or no one!

why would you ask someone else to do it?
find the data

find what you're looking for. Occupational info is there.

Info Unavailable or Reqs. Mod-Hvy "Lifting"; Journalism; Adam K
Didn't find the information on your site, Jon. And I'm uninterested researching for people whose jobs it is to research.
As is the case with most posts and comments, they're compositions made to pass information along to someone who can research their subjects. As important as it is to have a giver of information, it's that important to have a receiver of information, hence my mentioning Adam K, the Judge, Stossel or anyone who acts journalistically fulltime daily.
If someone's got time to research, good for that person, and there's no better person to do that job than someone who spends fulltime hours interacting with data and reports it. The Judge, Stossel and Adam do just that. They and their staff members pour over information and perpare it for their shows. Otherwise, all other informative compositions should be taken for what they are: leads.
Jon, if you spend fulltime hours on the Daily Paul and can seek out information, comb through and transcribe reports and statistics, verify information, and write or rewrite articles to appeal to an audience seeking articles on freedom -- a fulltime job -- I urge you to do it. The Daily Paul can use a journalist. But doing all that of course requires time, fulltime time, meaning money is involved, making a living is involved.
As I said in my post, maybe someone's got an inroad to Adam K. If I recall, he's got an account on the DP. I don't know if the Judge or Stossel read the DP, let alone have an account here. Because I don't know the Judge's and Stoss' status here and that Adam appears to have a DP account, I recommended someone who communicates with Adam talk with him about this issue.
Jon, if you communicate with Adam, inform him of this issue. Spreading and repeating this message often, far and wide should very favorably impact Ron and freedom. Given Adam's background and those of some of his guests, I think the format of Adam vs. the Man would be most advantageous for this issue.

And...

after a while, don't you feel...a little rude, though?
no matter how many words you use to justify it, you're still saying "I think others should spend their time doing something I want done, though I have no real understanding of its difficulty."
And of all people, why recommend famous ones do it?! The have their own lives, schedules to keep, (just like you!) and if they've any co-workers or employees, why in the world would you presume to suggest what they do? This completely baffles me.
There's no lack of ideas in this movement, only of follow-through.

Napolitano, or Stossel, or
Napolitano, or Stossel, or even Kokesh would not research it themselves--they have producers and interns to do that . They would be the people to put the spotlight on the issue though.
Good Souces to Report the Issue
Yeah, likely their staffers would research. I'm not sure why Jon replied how he did.
Brad, you wouldn't happen to know who other moderators are in addition to Jon, would you? Speaking of moderators, why aren't the moderators names attached to an M, m, -m, or (m) to denote their being moderators? (I have a few reasons I ask that but I asked you that question rhetorically. If you want to answer it, go ahead.)

Your request is unrealistic.
Following through with your own good idea is realistic.
Jon, already does too much here, IMO.
I would if I could, Steve.
I would if I could, Steve.
If you can or know someone who can follow through here ORRR can make sure this post stays in Active Forum Topics -- so that people see it -- the prospects of someone who has communications with a media person reacting to this post favorably will be high compared to this post settling into the dust bin of posts gone by.
By the way, Steve, are you a moderator?

If You Have Access to Media Personalities, Get Them This Info
Good find. Getting media heads talking about this breakdown would be helpful for Ron and freedom. Adam K, the Judge, Stoss, any others. The more exposure of this information, the better.

I suspect ...
... it's low-ranking individuals that contribute to Dr. Paul. The ones that are in actual danger and want to get the Hell outta there.
Let's Get Confirmation
I think you're right. If we can confirm that suspicion, just stand back. Make room for the flood of military family members and friends who'll migrate in droves to the good doctor.
