Don't Just Donate: Make a Matching Challenge!
Submitted by Patrick Henry Lives on Fri, 02/01/2008 - 14:53The challenge below produced 23 times the donations then if I had just quitely donated alone! If you are prepared to donate, please make a challege for matching funds. It's fun, inspiring, and brings HUGE RETURNS for the cause!
...............
I've have already given more to Ron Paul than I can afford, but less than the law allows. Really, if my wife knew how much I have given, I would be in deep doo-doo! But, I believe in America of the U.S. Constitution and want my five kids to live and die free (which probably won't happen if anyone else wins this election). So, here is what I am willing to do.
I will give another $100 (I already gave $100 today) if 20 more people who cannot afford it, and did not plan on giving again today, will match my donation. Any takers? Together, we can give $2,000 more advertisements and toward freedom.
Are we on?
Over the TOP! YES! We beat the challenge. Everything after this is gravy! Keep it up. You guys are great. I love our Revolution!
Great Post and Challenge
This is the sort of post I like...It has energy, it has enthusiasm, it has competition, It's Positive, it's moving, and above all It's a Revolution

HUGE RETURN
This challenge ought to be repeated by others. I cannot afford float it again, but some else has $100 bucks to donate, I would recommend making a challege. This challenge brought in 23x the amount if it had not been made! HUGE RETURN!
Just donated.

$301 equals three donors
Only Four to Go! Yes!
well,
I pre-ordered and pd for his new book last night and then today have already donated $51 dollars to the campaign. I can't afford a hundred dollars due to the fact my check book says I only have 72 dollars. Would you accept another 51 from me that would leave me with 20.95 in my check book which I'd have to use for gas and food for the rest of the week.

Maybe How To Do It?
1. Create a website named- RonPaulPayPal.com
The purpose of the site would be to match foreign supporters that CAN NOT give money to RP with U.S. supporters who can and will. The foreign supporters will PayPal money to U.S. RP supporters. The U.S. RP supporters will then take that money and PayPal it to RP Campaign
Do you think it's legal? I don't know.
suggestion.....
saw someone calling it PayPaul :-)

If you're donating $100 or more, why not get something in return?
your wife to?
I did it, $100 dollars. Good luck with the wife, mine can't wait for the election to end.
P.S. re Intl Paulers
I'm already pledging 201 - what about posting for international paulers to pay pal or whatever to American Paulers that have either run out of money or don't have money to bump donations. This could be huge.
Please comment.
Yes!
I am already being gifted $100 from Canada and will increase my gift accordingly. I say do it! If you know how. Go for it. We should have been adopting patriots and making challenges long ago. They can Paypal to me (see below, or to you). Just make sure to let us all know when we reach 20 (I think we have 13 or 14).
Help
We need to post some simple clear instructions on this post on how to paypal donations to American Paulers because I'm not sure how to do this - but also - if we had clear instructions we (you) could repost this as "Intl Paulers Adopt a Patiot Donation Bomb." I think the Intl community would go crazy. It sounds like you know how to do this. I don't know how pay pal works. Please comment.
Legal questions
The only real issue is the legality, which I think is easily avoided. If we offered for sale on Ebay some Ron Paul collector's buttons at $100/200/500 a pop, with the understanding that monies raised would be used to advance the RP campaign, I can see no legal snaffu. This is what Trevor Lyman did and got the OK from the lead attrorney for the FEC. The whole thing depends upon the willingness of purchasers (domestic or foreign) to trust that the money will actually go to the cause, directly by donating to HQ all profits (99.99%) or indirectly, by purchasing advertising, etc.
Ebay is already set up to recieve international bids, so it is really just a question of offering for sale RP buttons and finding willing buyers. Its the latter part that is going to be tough. One thing is for sure, the campaign is going to come to a grinding halt unless we find a way to broaden our support base!
