In doing some research on possible RP supporters for the state delegate process I noticed that my contribution isn't listed. The fact that my name isn't listed is of no real concern to me, what does concern me though is that there may be untold numbers of others who there is now no way of accessing.

Have I missed something? I donated for the tea party, aren't all donations listed from the start of the campaign up until the last day of 07?

There were a few threads on this going around, dunno if anyone ever found an answer. I'm in the same boat as you, none of my Q4 donations showed up.

I believe only those contributing over $200 are listed. I'm not sure of your donation total but I don't think it is required to show those who have donated that 200. I don't have a link to show the rule but I did read that somewhere.

Less than $200 and it's not listed.

If they donate more than $200 overall it is listed. They may have donated $100 2nd quarter, then $75 in 3rd quarter and then $50 in that 4th, meaning they have to report it.

i've read some articles about shenanigans in other campaigns using this fact to hide large contributors' donations.

200 must not be listed, but 201+ is.. I did $100 for Nov 5th and $100 for tea party

Edit: On second thought, I was thinking this when I donated in December.. I may have donated $100 under two different names, kind of. Couldn't remember if I used "William" or "Bill" in November, so mine might not match.

This just doesn't make sense, when you go to the FEC site and you click on your state and then your county and get the list, is that list for the last quarter only? Or is it for the whole duration?

Duration, I think.

They are only supposed to be given the details of donors contributing in excess of $200.

In my zip code, it has people that have donated under 200 total listed. This one guy only donated 146 throughout the entire duration of Paul's campaign thus far, and he is still listed. I think I am going to call the FEC on Monday to get to the bottom of this.. I live in Indiana and donor information would be very helpful for acquiring delegates...
