Since people can only contribute a limited amount of money, how much can a private charity contribute? To Ron Paul, of course. How about something like:

Contributors contribute $$$ to a non-profit organization that supports Ron Paul, would there still be restrictions?

If so, how about a non-profit that takes in donations, then distributes it to Ron Paul with the consent of its members? So each member would be "sponsored" for their individual maximum even if they really donated nothing themselves.

Why not contribute according to the rules? Wouldn't it be nice to win a game playing by the rules? Not some political shortcut.

The political system is rigged against "minor candidates" and third party candidates, and I'm not proposing breaking the rules.

$2300 per person. If this is too low, is there any reason you can't make up indefinite number of names and addresses?

Not like I am advocating it

ha yeah. I'm just proposing a creative route for the "fat cats" that support Ron Paul but can only donate the maximum. That's why the Libertarian Party has alot of trouble winning elections: The Democrats / Republicans have a larger base and the Libertarian Party may have less supporters but they're willing to spend more.

I didn't read anything against signature links in the ToS, and it's not "spam." Let me guess, not a Libertarian? And how do you speak for everyone, noob?

Libertarian party has problem winning because sheeple will only vote Reps or Dems. Whenever Libertarian candidate also runs on Republican ticket, he gets 200-1000% more votes

I know. I was going to run as a Libertarian in the Democratic Party (LOL) WHY? Because:

1. We live in a Democratic stronghold here in NJ.
2. The Libertarian Party never wins and doesn't have a big base here.

But, I'm no Democrat, I'm as much as a Libertarian as Rob Paul is. Anyway.. that was for legislator, I'm very young, and I wasn't sure how to sign up for the Democratic Party ha The Libertarian Party never organized itself I guess so they never called me back so that we could go out and get the signatures. ah well

I hope that Ron Paul wins. I checked out Youtube videos of every candidate and none of them has as much support on the boards as Ron Paul does. Now THATS a grass roots campaign!

If socialists like Bush and McCain can run as Republicans, why can't libertarians. I don't know why they can't understand it. Seems like they are more concerned about what they would do if they could win rather than how to win

heh they're definately not Socialists. I don't like them anymore than you do, but I think the correct difference between Ron Paul and the rest is:

Ron Paul is a Libertarian - Conservative

The rest (Bush / Mccain) are Neo-Cons that have completely hijacked the party.

Although I could be wrong, it seems to me that Ron Paul has imposed “campaign finance reform” upon himself.

I don’t believe he accepts corporate donations or PAC money.

He is not looking to compete dollar for dollar with the corporate whores. He is interested in the support of the citizenry and operating within the law.

Would any corporation even support him? The ideal Libertarian society would liquidate corporate entities as they're not natural elements of the free market. hmmm maybe uhh NRA would support him.

Well I was raised in USSR and I don't see any difference between socialism and what Bush and the puppeteers are building. They didn't fully implement all 10 planks to Communist manifesto yet, but the work is well underway
BTW welcome to the forum and I hope you are or soon will be out of dollar
Starve Federal Reserve shareholders, make them get a normal job

Thanks. Does my signature bother you? It's just a cool site that I use, I wasn't trying to spam, that's why I'm now using a smaller one than I was using before.

I'm trying to get into "hard currency" investing. Anyway, the Neo-Cons are basically: A bunch of Fascist YES Fascist, why I use that terminology? I'm not politically correct, their agenda is clear, a corporate police state, that IS Fascism. But yes, not much different from Communism, this is like Communism without the luxury of its poor quality services. They're Neo-Cons:

They want:

Protect Israel
send Israel money / weapons
Listen to AIPAC lobbysts
Go to needless wars
Give corporations more power
Use "War on Terror" as a means of violating our rights

The corporations that are paid to manufacture the vehicles that go to Iraq MAKE MONEY everytime one is blown up! They have a dozen more coming out of the assembly area, this is their dough, and they are loving this war.

"War on Drugs" is also extremely ignorant * Why can't the people make their own decisions to do drugs or not? I think that Libertarians support the rights to make the decisions to do drugs, or not, they don't support people doing drugs, just their inherent right to do so.

It doesn't bother me personally, but it's against forum rules, you can only link to a website if you own it. When mods see it they'll delete it

I don't know the difference between socialism and fascism or what AIPAC is, politics is not my thing. I just know that if I invest in mutual funds instead of gold and grains, I'll end up starving, and that a group of people known as gobermint would like me dead because of that harmful knowledge

What are "grains"? I heard that silver is good as well.

Fascism: "A philosophy or system of government that is marked by stringent social and economic control, a strong, centralized government usually headed by a dictator, and often a policy of belligerent nationalism."

Communism: An economic theory which stresses that the control of the means of producing economic goods in a society should reside in the hands of those who invest their labor for production. In its ideal form, social classes cease to exist, there is no coercive governmental structures, and everyone lives in abundance without supervision from a ruling class. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels popularized this theory in their 1848 Communist Manifesto.

Grains - rice, barley, etc. My favorites are buckwheat and quinoa. Will become very valuable when hyperinflation is here. Even more valuable than silver. Goberments love starving their people, it works wonders on improving obedience. They tested it in Ukraine back in 1930's
