First, off let me say that I am a Congressional Candidate running for the NY 21st District, but I am sharing this idea not just to benefit my campaign, but for all the Ron Paul Candidates.
My idea is to create a web page that allows a contributor to donate to some or all of the Ron Paul Congressional Candidates from one place. Ideally, it would have a script that you securely fill out your information once, and it would go to each of your selected candidates donation pages and fill it in for you, or at least automate the process for you. You would be able to pick a total donation amount you want to evenly split among the checked candidates, or individually set amounts for each candidate.
Currently every candidate is fund raising for your precious and devaluing fiat dollars (I will accept donations in Gold and Silver, BTW), and it is creating a sense of competition among the candidates. This is natural and good for our free market mentality, and the strongest candidates should thrive and the weakest candidates fall off. This idea is not a socialist mechanism to divide the money equally among candidates, but a tool to let donaters know who all the Ron Paul Candidates are and easily contribute to Ron Paul candidates they believe in with an automated process.
This can be done this a PAC, but there is a limit of $5K per candidate that a PAC can contribute, so this is better method.
So does anyone have the mad programming skillz to make this? Ideally it would be hosted in a site like PaulCongress.com, where they list the candidates and have links to donation pages, but do not automate the process.
