So, it appears the campaign is trying to get a full 50 state campaign going; and as a result they need money. We can help. Below are some websites that talk about fundraising ideas.
I am unclear as to the laws concerning fundraising....so I hope someone who knows them better will chime in.

Free Publicity Ideas/ Sites:
After reading several pages on free publicity. I had an Idea: A meetup group can create the "Worlds LARGEST Preamble (or Bill of Rights or Declaration of Indipendance...etc) in tribute to Ron Paul." You can use brown butchers paper, tape it on the back to create a big (30ft?) sheet of paper that you can write on. If you really want to get fancy, you can create stenciles out of poster boards and spraypaint the preamble. You can probably get a fari amount of coverage in your local city for somethign like that. Moreover, you could even get some kids involved as a way to pass on the beauty of the Constitution (or some other 'spin')
You could probably sell lemonaide as a fundraiser during the event, if nothing else, it should help offset the already minimal costs.
Create an Award. For example, "A Defender of Liberty" awarded by the San Antonio Ron Paul Supporters Club (or whatever city you're in). Buy a 'cheap' plaque and offer it to a local politician. Make sure to contact the news organization first. Find a place to give him/her the award, contact the media, keep Ron Paul signs near by. And be professional. You can get a good amount of publicity doing this.
