Live the dream..The end of Ron Paul Racing

Hey Rcon1,

Thanks so much for your efforts. I am sure you are aware that people either sit there and run their keyboards and nothing else, some may be doing something proactive yet still crap on other people's efforts, and then there are the people who are doing something proactive and applaud other people's efforts.

Just as in the time before the blimp's launch, I do not understand why anyone would say anything that would derail an effort to further Ron Paul if in fact they are true RP supporters.

Your efforts are still getting dumped on and you clearly stated what the plan is now and it is a fine way to settle the endevour.

Thank you once again.

PACs SUCK!

There are sooooooo many regulations. The treasurer is the fall guy or girl so they are really screwed when it collapses or reports incorrectly. I believe that the formation of the PAC was the real reason for its collapse.

As far as I know... the BLIMP and The Ron Paul Air Corps were and are not a PACs.

It may have been easier doin it that way.

Since you two "warring factions" feel the need to keep reposting on this topic, I will reiterate something I posted in one of the prior threads on this topic. Get over yourselves! Ms. Hanover and Mr. Conrad should both be ashamed of themselves for allowing this debacle to unfold in this manner. Seriously, who in their right mind would consider donating to this cause now? You've ruined it for yourselves -- and for those of us who believed in this project. I wouldn't trust shiesters like you with one dime of my money. I can't believe you would even take donations from Ron Paul supporters without having your ducks in a row FIRST. For shame. You owe everyone who donated to this farce a public apology.

This summer.

When I first heard about the Ron Paul Racing idea, I thought great. I would support such an endeavor. But it quickly appeared that it was put together by a few nascar fans who really were out of their league and over their heads. The original ron paul racing website was a very simple creation in wordpress that could of been done in an hour, it also had a forum as I recall and there was some very unprofessional comments made by those who were no longer supporting the project after apparently becoming offended. Sounded like someone internally lost control and decided to attempt to ruin the project. Then I read where the original money was refunded and the organization was re-formed as a non-profit political organization, I thought ok that made sense. Then, l found that the project was not going to sponsor a whole car in the Nextel series, but a 16" x 20" sticker on a couple of Busch series cars, one driven by Kenny Wallace. Again, I thought well that made sense too because it is very expensive to support a whole car. Then, last week I found the domain ronpaulracing.com is no longer found and the owner of the domain is unwilling to continue until he is paid, then he says he is against the project. I searched for the domain owner and find it is listed as private on godaddy, apparently it is Mr. Ron Conrad, who has decided to take his ball and go home, like a little kid that isn't the quarterback but owns the ball and decides he doesn't like what is going on. I see the new organization has a new domain as ronpaulracing.org it appears to be legit but there is very little content. With all of this drama going on who would want to donate to Ron Paul Racing now ? I still think it is a worthy endeavor, but it was very late in creation, shortsighted and ill equipped. It there was enough interest from the beginning, I say a year ago and they approached Joe Gibbs Racing or someone with some integrity, and had the sponsorship of the whole car, it would have some good advertising of Ron Paul. But a tiny little sticker on a second league race car, which will probably run in the back or the field, will provide negligible promotion at best. I have been to a number of Nascar races and the cars in the back of the pack get very little TV time, except when they cause a crash of Jeff Gordon, Jimmy Johnson or Tony Stewart. Ron Paul Racing has provided negative promotion for Ron Paul, nothing positive so far.

A microcosm of the whole Ron Paul movement.
It's too bad. But we pull each other in multiple directions over and over again.

I believe that unless Ron Paul speaks up soon. The March, or rally on Washington will be the same. We've already got Granny Warriors, diluting the participation of the Main march, Everyone is looking for personal glory.

Thats the nature of Man, and the nature of grassroots, eventually.

And that, is why we lose.

"Ron Paul Racing" is an advertising project, not a legal entity.

Donations collected under the name "Ron Paul Racing" prior to February 11, 2008 via PayPal were collected by and are in the custody of a private individual, Ron Conrad. Ron Conrad is the owner of the domain name "www.ronpaulracing.com."

Donations collected to fund the Ron Paul Racing project via Google Checkout at www.ronpaulracing.com after February 11, 2008 were collected by and are in the custody of Liberty Racing PAC, a non-profit corporation.

Liberty Racing PAC has never received any funds from Ron Conrad.

Ron Conrad resigned from his position as Chair of the Executive Committee of Liberty Racing PAC on February 20, 2008. Ron Conrad is no longer associated in any way with Liberty Racing PAC and cannot speak on our behalf. In his first resignation letter, he offered to sell the domain name www.ronpaulracing.com to Liberty Racing PAC, presumably with the understanding that we would continue our efforts to fund a Ron Paul NASCAR sponsorship. However, he ultimately chose not to sell the domain name. At that point, we took down the website that the domain pointed to.

When it became apparent that Mr. Conrad was not going to sell the domain name, I registered the domain www.ronpaulracing.org for the use of Liberty Racing PAC. The Ron Paul Racing website will soon be transferred to www.RonPaulRacing.org. Ron Conrad is in no way affiliated with www.RonPaulRacing.org.

The RonPaulRacing.org advertising project that is funded by Liberty Racing PAC is continuing to move forward without Mr. Conrad's involvement. It is our moral and ethical obligation to do so, as that was our reason for collecting funds: for a Ron Paul NASCAR sponsorship.

Stay tuned to www.RonPaulRacing.org ...some amazing new content is going up in the next few days!

I remember reading a post that RPR was no longer going to allow them to operate...so they opened up a new site called RonPaulracing.org instead of dot com...maybe not the end...but I kinda feel for these guys...trying so hard and never being able to get any attention but negative.
