My guess is there are a lot of people who have donated the limit to the campaign. The big question is, is there a loophole to allow for more funds?

Forming a corporation? Some sort of NGO? Non-monetary contributions? Or creating an organization independent from the campaign that can sponsor the campaign. Just trying to throw out some ideas, if you have any of your own I would like to hear them.

We are not getting beat because of inadequate donor contributions, we are being beat because of non-monetary donations made to the other campaigns by big business which aren't limited to the donation cap that we are, acting as private citizens.

Perhaps giving money to Ron Paul donors who haven't maxed out yet so they can donate?

Lets face it, McCain set this up with Campaign Finance Reform. If we want to beat him, we have to beat that.

Donate using $50 1oz Gold American Eagles (it is legal tender by law). You donation will count at face value and the campaign can sell the coin for $1000. That makes a $2300 donation into a $46,000 donation.

At least it is worth a try.

I take it you can't give money to us poorer donators so we can donate more? :p

A rich multi-millionaire doesn't have to give McCain a million dollars to his campaign.

He can give a million dollars to CNN and have them write articles or news pieces favorable to the CFR candidates.
