$10,500 to Reach 14.4 million people. And the Fighter wants it too!!

[greeksta59]

We have a RON PAUL SPONSERED fighter Cung Le who wants to help us plug Ron Paul on his shorts, jacket, and at the end of the fight will thank the Ron Paul Revolution!!!!

[Dave Wood]

kinda like it!

[pacelli]

LOL I just heard about this on ron paul revolution radio (rprradio.com)

[greeksta59]

thats where i got it from!

[N13]

In the world of MMA, that is a huge fight. There will be tons of PPVs. Lots of exosure for the money. The Main Event...

[greeksta59]

and its CHEAP!!!!!!

[pacelli]

10k is so cheap compared to the blimp, the former boxing fight deal, the nascar deal. 10,000? We can do that. We can definitely do that.

[ronpaulhawaii]

sounds good to me

Contribution to Ringside Revolution by Anthony Dudick (liquicon1@yahoo.com) $50.00 1 $50.00

[greeksta59]

alright what can we do to start doin somesort of a money bomb thing??? i mean we really should donate

[N13]

Our guy has a good chance of beating an older legendary fighter to take the championship belt.

He is a star in the making. Tough fight, but his chances are good. For 10K, its a bargain.

Do not underestimate the power of the demographics of MMA. Don't fall for the streotype. This audience is full of potential voters.

[greeksta59]

are people going to just post or also contribute? just wondering

[Dave Wood]

alright what can we do to start doin somesort of a money bomb thing??? i mean we really should donate

we need a pick of Cung Lee in fight mode on top of RPF main page with the $ goal.

Anyone who blogs out there......put his image on your page next to RP.

We could leave info for youtube visitors both RP and Cung Le

[LandonCook]

Damn... Cung Le kicks ass.... But can he kick neocon ass?

[RonPaulwillWin]

Cung Lee will probably lose, are you sure this is a good idea? Frank Shamrock is not a good fight for him.

[erin moore]

can someone make a page that links to the donation site? pledges for maybe a march 1st moneybomb. we are martial artists and will back this. we might even be able to get some people in our doajng to kick in too.

[greeksta59]

i agree, MODS put this at the top with some sort of chip in visual....we needa get this thing goin

[humanic]

We have a RON PAUL SPONSERED fighter Cung Le who wants to help us plug Ron Paul on his shorts, jacket, and at the end of the fight will thank the Ron Paul Revolution!!!!

...asuming he isn't completely disoriented or comatose from being repeatedly punched in the face!

[Kotin]

i am in for 100

[greeksta59]

ive already donated

[Dave Wood]

bump for good idea

[killatop]

get the ronpaulracing people to give the money...they got like 30 thousand and haven't shown anything...and I was all for that before they clusterfucked everything.

[Dave Wood]

How many out there just KNEW the Patriots were going to destroy the GIANTS?? What happened? Its the size of the fight in the dog.............

[AJ Antimony]

Talk about a bargain! Keep this bumped!

[jlaker]

My two favorite things the revolution and MMA.

[Ball]

Cung Lee will probably lose, are you sure this is a good idea? Frank Shamrock is not a good fight for him.

You're crazy. What is Ken going to do, mesmerize Cung with his bitch tits?

Ken should have retired years ago. He hasn't learned any new tricks, and MMA has gone through a revolution. Unless Ken can lie down on Cung, he has no chance.

[Ball]

Man, I wish I had some money left for this cause...

[newyearsrevolution08]

$10k is the profit the so called grassroot blimp people profited from our money each month so of course we could swing that when it is actually used for the effort and not to fund PROFITEERS pockets from the wallets of us volunteers.

Sounds cool man.


10k is so cheap compared to the blimp, the former boxing fight deal, the nascar deal. 10,000? We can do that. We can definitely do that.

[erin moore]

I will donate to this as soon as I can see how much has already been donated. the 10K is a total requested right? how much is left to go... I need a little motivation and transparency.

Then Im all in

[RonPaulwillWin]

You're thinking of Ken Shamrock, his washed up brother. Frank Shamrock just destroyed Phil Baroni. Kung is a great kick boxer but is an MMA newcomer who has only been fed cans. Anyway the more I think about it I realize that 10k really is a drop in the bucket so it probably be worth it regardless.

[Enzo]

He will totally lose. Shamrock will easily win... unless he gets DQd

[jlaker]

It's MMA anything can happen!

[jlaker]

If they every figure out a date for the Rally maybe he could plug that in too.

[Ball]

My bad.

Yea, Frank's a beast.

BTW, MMA is how I first learned about John McCain. Why? Because he's a boxing fan who wanted to ban the sport.

Asshole!

[greeksta59]

bump

[Eric21ND]

Frank Shamrock is the favorite in this fight. Look him up on youtube. Anyway where is the fight taking place? Will it be televised? If not, you have to look at the opportunity cost of this. I think it would be great to have a fighter endorse Ron Paul. We should go bigger and better though. We should get a UFC fighter, there is big PPV fight scheduled for March 1st. Perfect timing!

This needs donations desperately.

Give $100. Totally worth it.

[jlaker]

Is their a way to find out how much has been donated?

[Andrew76]

I'm sorry to be a party pooper but, I think all this stuff is b.s. The race car was the same.
Like, "Hey! This guy is a Ron Paul supporter, and he wants to help us out by charging us tens of thousands of dollars to support him!! He knows we have the money, and is willing to take it from us! Isn't that great!"
If you're a Ron Paul supporter, then you stick Ron Paul's name on your shorts for FREE or it means NOTHING. Hello?
So this dude's fighting buddies, or the race driver's racing buddies or pit crew all ask, "So, you're a Ron Paul supporter?" They respond, "For 10,000.oo bucks I am!! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!" I mean, c'mon people. Of COURSE this fighter, "wants it too!" He's gonna make a stack of cash for doing nothing. Either you're a supporter, or you're making money. Don't pretend like you're a big Ron Paul supporter, and then charge ten grand. There's nothing wrong with making money, just be honest about it. Advertising on some wrestler's ass? - bad idea.

Huge. Huge. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge waste of money.

I'm waiting for someone to post, "Hey guys, I know a guy who owns billboard/advertising space all over town. He's a massive Ron Paul supporter. We can put Ron Paul's name and face on all the billboards. We just need to raise $15,000.00 first. Who's with me!!"

[Lmata]

I agree Andrew. The money would be much better spent on something else such as the Ron Paul Newspaper that is still needing funding.

[Phantom]

I'm with Andrew. If any of these sports personalities were indeed Ron Paul supporters they wouldn't be asking for a dime.

Below is the official Cung Le web site. I will be sending him an e-mail regarding this matter. Maybe others here will do the same to see if we can get this done for free.

Just a thought!

[jmdrake]

This is cool. Cung Le rocks! I used to spend a lot of time on martial arts forums before the campaign. If we pull this off it will be HUGE! It will be a great point of conversation.

[jmdrake]

Hey, I feel the folks that say "Cung should do it for free if he's a real supporter". My guess is...he ain't a real supporter. But so? The question is of exposure, reach and face time. Someone mentioned a billboard? Well I chipped in for a billboard. Not because I thought the owner was a "supporter" but because I knew thousands of people per day would see the billboard. Ultimately it all comes down to the free market. If you don't think it's a good idea put your money somewhere else. Use the "Ron Paul Toolbar" so that you can donate for free to these various grassroots projects. Come up with your own ideas.

John M. Drake

Clicking on the chip-in link on the site reveals that so far $95 has been contributed. $50 of that came from me.

[greeksta59]

way to go!

[Lord Xar]

Cung Lee will be fighting Frank Shamrock right? This is a big fight. I'll be watching it.

I'd say it was worth it. BUT you must have a contract that stipulates if he DOES NOT say it - you get your money back AND we need to decide how best to use that money.

[alionbe]

Check this out....

a guy is selling advertising on his neck as a permanent tattoo. it says it must not be anything pertaining to the Republican party. ha, i wonder if he knew ron paul people would try to pull a stunt like that

[pacelli]

bump, again advertised on rprradio.com .

[belian78]

where's a link that shows Cung Le supports Ron? that link just says we can buy the ads on his shorts and whatnot. i would like to post a link in a couple MMA forums i frequent.

[Shink]

For people who don't know: Cung Le is a seemingly unstoppable kickboxer champion. He has owned people for a long time. Having him sport RP gear while mauling guys 'til he retires would be a smart move.:D

[isufferfromronpaulfever]

Cung Le is ridiculously good. He isn't the ordinary fighter, he does a lot of exciting stuff.

[sgrooms]

[Bruno]

Sounds like a great opportunity.

How is the fundraising doing on this? Is it a done deal yet?

[sgrooms]

looking at the site, not even close. we need to get the word out.

[Andrew76]

Yeah, this could be really cool! I know some people who are huge Ron Paul supporters who own radio stations and would love to help out! For 20,000.oo dollars... they'll play a few radio spots! AWESOME DEAL!!! C'mon guys! Hooray!

..... again: supporters of Ron Paul do it for free. Anything else is just paid advertising. I can't believe you guys fell for this.

So, ... we're trying to reach mainstream Americans who still have yet to hear about Ron Paul or really understand what he's about, by paying to advertise Ron Paul's NAME on some Extreme Fighting dude's shorts. For 10 grand. I can hear it now:

Interviewer: "Hey, Cung Le, so you're a big Ron Paul fan, huh?"
Cung Le: "Yeah, I think he's great!"
Interviewer: "Wow, and so you just decided to stick Ron Paul's name on your shorts?"
Cung Le: "... Well, uh, yeah."
Interviewer: "So this wasn't a sponsorship kind of thing?"
Cung Le: "Well, there was a fee involved, but uh.. yeah, I'm a fan. ... A FAN OF TEN GRAND. HAHAHHA!!!"
Interviewer: "YEAaaahah boyeeee!!! HHAHAHAH!"

worst idea ever.

[DealzOnWheelz]

this fight is on showtime tonight... did he ever get the deal or what?

[ForLibertyFight]

[tajitj]

NO. He got another one for April 4th. That one should be on FoxSports Net. It does seem kind of fishy or the guy doesnot know how to build a web site. I would be awesome if it happens.

[soapmistress]

The April 4th isn't UFC :( It's IFL

[Knightskye]
