I make money online selling some stuff on ebay. $9 is all I had in my paypal, and I'm only 13, so I sent it. Used my parent's info. They won't be sending him money because they both dont support him.

Federal law requires all online contributors to confirm that the following statements are true and accurate. If you cannot confirm each statement, you are not eligible to contribute to the Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign Committee.
1. This contribution is made on a personal credit or debit card for which I have the legal obligation to pay, and is made neither on a corporate or business entity card nor on the card of another.

2. I am a United States citizen or a lawfully-admitted permanent resident.

3. I am making this contribution with my own personal funds, and I will not be reimbursed by anyone for this contribution.

4. I am not a federal government contractor.

5. I am at least 18 years of age.

I'd suggest not putting the campaign in danger like this again. or at least don't make a post where you openly admit to breaking federal law.

The underlying intent is that a minor person had to be of 'reasoning age' and intended to make the contribution of their own accord.

No one is going to care because one 13 year old contributed $9.

My son (17) had me send in $10.00 extra of my money. I added this to my donation. He said that he will work at least 2 hours tomorrow hanging literature on doors in our town for Dr. Paul, if I would give an extra $10.00.

He wants to vote in the Texas Primary so bad. He is hoping that he will be able to vote for Dr. Paul in the General Election. He will be 18 before the November Elections.

I used to be always telling him things that had happened each day. Now he meets me at the door with the news of the day.

Many states allow 17 year olds to vote in the primary, as long as they are old enough in November. Is this the case in your state?

Heh, in business law (contracts) they said that the parent has legal authority over the income of their children. As long as his parents knew about this it should be okay for him to use their name.

You're awesome! Your $9 means just as much as anyone's $2300 and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

In Texas, you have to be 17 years and 10 months to register to vote. So my son cannot vote in the primary. We checked this out a few months ago.

Your a good kid. We all in the Ron Paul grassroots appreciate your efforts.

Keep up the good work. Your $9 went toward the Freedom movement.

It is really good to see so many younger people getting involved politically. They may not be able to vote yet but they are doing what they can to make their voices heard.

My grandmother took me along to political rallies and stuff when I was very young so I kind of grew up paying attention. I try to instill that in my nephews by asking them what they think about issues and not acting like their opinions don't matter. If a child feels like their opinion counts at age 8, they are far more likely to be involved at age 18.

So everyone ask the kids in your life what they think is important, it will make a difference.

I was told that if they were going to be 18 yrs of age by November election that they
COULD VOTE in primary. They can also register. If he is not registered - deadline coming up real fast - walk it in.

that's what some of they guys were saying at one of our meet ups

While most of our generation's parents failed at passing on whatever love of freedom might have remained in them, I guess a love of freedom does sometimes sprout straight from the earth.

Let me just say that we in Tulsa are giving you your money's worth with our call center!!

Following in his footsteps, this 15 year old just donated 20 bucks to the RP campaign.

I feel so proud, yet sick that I just blew 20 bucks. But it was worth it.

Good for you. I paid out of my parents' accounts too, with their permission, and paid them back with cash. I plan to do so today, but they'll probably try to talk me out of it. :p


I thought I was young to do that, but you're 13. Good on you, and welcome to the legion of young patriots!

A big Thank You! to all of Dr. Paul's underage donors. You're never too young to learn the value of personal liberty. And I think you taught us all a little about civil disobedience in the name of a just cause. Bravo!

I'm 16, wish I could donate, but I'm flat broke. But I am working to get my parents and brother to vote for Ron Paul. I got my Mom, and possibly my Dad. And my brother doesn't want to be drafted, and Ron Paul is the true anti-war candidate, so I pretty much got him too.

Lol!! Qft!

That would be one of our biggest victories yet, if they went after Ron Paul's campaign for a 13-year-old donating everything he can afford to the cause.

Absolute PR DISASTER for whoever takes that on!

To all underage Ron Paul supporters:

First of all, a sincere thank you for your support.

Second, whether Ron Paul wins or not never forget what he stands for.

Third, thank you for giving some of us "more seasoned" supporters hope that the future and freedoms we are fighting for are as important to the next generation as they are to us.

Enjoy every moment of your lives friends.

Luke 21: 1-4

Just then he looked up and saw the rich people dropping offerings in the collection plate. Then he saw a poor widow put in two pennies. He said, "The plain truth is that this widow has given by far the largest offering today. All these others made offerings that they'll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn't afford—she gave her all!"

because of McConnell vs. FEC it is legal for children of any age to donate as long as it is their own money and they weren't coerced into donating
