Ok guys I constantly keep seeing people post about Matching funds and why Ron Paul should accept them.

Now most people brush it off and say Ron won't do it out of principle...


Which is HALF OF THE REASON

The other half is it would CRIPPLE HIS CAMPAIGN!!!

When you accept Fed Matching funds there are HUGE RESTRICTIONS SET on how much you can take in through DOnations, where you can spend it and on what type of resources you can spend it.



This equals the destruction of money bombs.

If MATCHING FUNDS WAS FREE MONEY WITH NO RESTRICTIONS DON'T YOU THINK Hitlery WOULD TAKE THEM CONSIDERING SHE ALREADY RAISED $100 MILLION and it would Bump her to $200 MILLION so she could dominate the market with Crying ads

Matching funds isn't a dollar for dollar match. It's up to $250 per donation.

You're right that taking matching funds imposes certain restrictions, but you're completely wrong about how much she would get. The restrictions aren't anything most campaigns would think about.
