Paul Again Set to Return Thousands to Treasury
Submitted by Michael Nystrom on Sat, 01/12/2008 - 11:56January 11, 2008 | For immediate release
Washington, DC - The U.S. House of Representatives reports that Congressman Ron Paul has once again run his Congressional office in a frugal manner, and he will likely return tens of thousands of dollars to the Treasury once again this year. Preliminary estimates forwarded to Paul’s office indicate he has about $75,000 left in his account.
“Since my first year in Congress representing the 14th district I have managed my office in a frugal manner, instructing staff to provide the greatest possible service to the people of the 14th district at the least possible cost to taxpayers,” said Paul.
Paul’s Chief of Staff, Tom Lizardo, said “It is customary that several thousand dollars of expenditures are not calculated until after this year ends, but I am confident that tens of thousands will remain to be given back once the books finally close on 2007, just as Congressman Paul always instructs us to do.”
Lizardo said that the purchase of new equipment, staff changes and postal rate increases made it especially difficult to restrain spending this year. “Considering Congressman Paul’s efforts helped to land nearly $50,000,000 in appropriations for crucial projects in this part of Texas last year, we are most pleased that we were able to once again get the job done under budget.”
THAT is our man!

Now...
...stop complaining about how RP is spending the donations please.
I agree
Sometimes when he is on the road and not having an inside appearance, RP and his people stay in budget rooms. Ya gotta love that!
Congress it seems does the same as Haliburton ... New Orleans???
This is too true to be very funny The next time you
hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual
manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians'
spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult
number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a
good job of putting that figure into some perspective
in one of its releases.
A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in
the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on
two feet.
E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20
minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's
take a look at New Orleans It's amazing what you can
learn with some simple division Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress
for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting
number, what does it mean?
A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New
Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get
$516,528.
B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New
Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.
C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets
$2,066,012.
Washington , D.C . HELLO!!! ... Are all your
calculators broken??
I hope this goes around THE USA (and the world) at
least 100 times
What the heck happened?????
yes indeed
another scary thing (in a different vein) is that of $250 billion...how much would ever get into anything benefitting actual residents of New Orleans? One percent?
Speaking of New Orleans and money
Look at these wonderful coins everyone should own. s/

Witness the POWER of an IDEA - the MASSIVE Ron Paul Rallies! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgsg7a-Ok8Q
Good Press
This is the kind of thing we need to push with the Press. The other candidates talk about being fiscal conservatives when Dr Paul does this kind of thing, especially year after year he PROVES IT.
Can any of the others show they have given the people there money back year after year?
The media needs to hear about this from the grassroots.
The best thing we can do to help Dr Paul is to get the media comparing him to the other candidates on there past records. Dr Paul has the best record or anyone running, bar none!
He needs to run on his record, his voting record is what first sold me and it will sell a lot of people if they could just see it! And when you place his record next to the others it looks even better!
Return money to Grassroots?
Richardson just dropped out of the race. I understand he had lots of money still, do you think he will or must return the money or portions of, to his grassroots donors?
I wonder if Ron would do this...mmm
I hope Ron Paul spends all his $ on or before super tuesday. Then we in the grassroots can money bomb him back to life after a great showing.
Treg
Invest in Liberty, one Apartment deal at a time with me. Get a check each month as a passive investor, just ask me how.
Need the money bomb sooner than that
The next money bomb day is January 21. A great money bomb day, just days before the primaries will give his campaign a lot of POSITIVE and FREE news coverage just days before Super Tuesday.
Positive coverage? LOL You,
Positive coverage? LOL You, too have a dream...
I pledged in the first week. I just know what I have to do..
