Please consider and comment on the following:

Generating Money and Media Attention rapidly through INTRADE.


If you are not familiar, INTRADE is a "Prediction Market" where people buy and sell contracts based on their view as to the outcome of an event, such as who will be the 2008 Republican Presidential Nominee.
It is essentially betting on the future/a guage of what people think wil occur in the future. Because this is a market where thousands of people put their money where their mouth is many important people also watch and comment on this market as an important indicator of what may occur in the future. This means that moves on INTRADE generate media attention. Because of this various POTUS campaigns/supporters BUY their candidate and/or SELL their candidates opponents to create a spin opportunity that their candidate is considered superior among the "smart money/inside knowledge" crowd.

How can this help RP with Money and Publicity?

PUBLICITY-If a large number of RP's supporters purchased a small number of contracts each we could significantly move this market in the direction that the "smart money" believes RP's odds of winning are improving by those with the inside track on how the primaries will ultimately play out-like how the "TRUE" campaign cash situation will be sinking more of the competition, for instance based on our greater knowledge of upcoming MONEY BOMBS, etc. A large contract price move in a short period of time gets a lot of attention-PUBLICITY- and it tends to influence non-partisan speculators to jump on the trend.

MONEY-If we can move the market up we can earn profits that we can then contribute to the RP campaign. The best part about this is the profits will be at the expense of supporters of the other candidates, i.e. we will be using their money to donate to RP, gotta love that. As mentioned above, big market move bring in money from non-partisan folks that are just on INTRADE to try and make a speculative profit, which will further move the RP contracts in the direction we want them to go-UP.

If people think this is a good idea/want to know more about how this can be implemented just ask here. I imagine there are others on the DP that are familiar w/ INTRADE that can assist with implementing this and if there is sufficient interest in such an effort. ALL can help spread the word. The key here is a lot of people investing 10-20 dollars.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For Non-US citizens that cannot contribute to RP's campaign-This is an excellent and easy way for you to assist in promoting RP/FREEDOM that is legal.
