The links to Amazon and BarnesAndNoble on the ronpaulbookbomb.com/ (http://ronpaulbookbomb.com/) site are "referal links" or "affiliate links" which means someone is making a little side money from this. Please, I beg of you, please donate that money to a good RP related cause when you get the money for 1000's of referals (usually 40-50% of the profit off the sale). Please...

Somebody from that site, please respond, otherwise I will have to set up a similar site with a signed document pledging all referal/affiliate proceeds to Ron Paul related projects.

To be fair the link from Lew Rockwells site is a referral link as well. It may not be intentional.

Why do we care if someone is making a little money off Ron Paul? The site isn't deceitful or dishonest in any way....Sure it'd be great to donate it, but if not, so what?

No worries here. Amazon will pay the referral money, so nothing is being taken away from Ron Paul.

Plus, the money's being donated to Paul & covering server hosting costs.

exactly. if there is a book bomb site that is to keep profits as opposed to donating them, i should freely be able to start a competing site that promises to donate the proceeds to paul causes. however, it seems these people are honest, i would be happier if they promised to donate the money on the site.

Nothing wrong with affiliate links! The more money in the hands of Ron Paul loving, Constitution loving, Freedom loving people -- the better!
