From 1,763 dollars cash on hand to over a quarter million in three months. Not bad. They've never had anywhere near this kind of dough, wonder what they will do with it.

Hmm.... the problem is that's really not a lot of money. If you have 5 staff members making $40k a piece, plus office space, office expenses, web server space, travel expenses, etc....

A few million $ is really what they need.

A few million $ is really what they need.

A few million grass roots supporters out of which more than 5 should be wealthy enough to volunteer their time.

For what...?

That is a miniscule amount compared to what the other special interests groups are getting from the government AND business. Council of La Raza gets tens of millions of donations a year in such a way - and they use your tax dollars to advocate and lobby for open borders and socialist agenda etc..

Though 200K is alot, its rather shitty for a liberty vehicle and what it intends to teach/do. Its dismaying.

For what...?A staff, the ability to hire competent and well connected people, decent office, travel expenses, etc. Money is a good tool and not having enough of it is detrimental to one's effort. In other words being broke will hamper the ability for the CFL to do much other than just post blogs.

It's almost as if they were printing the money!

But Ron Paul is also working outside of this format. Apparently, the Ron Paul for President Committee is still alive. It just donated $2300 to a candidate in Texas.

I guess he is taking his time with dispensing the campaign money...

He shifted most of that to Campaign for Liberty.

source? I've never seen any. In fact, I've heard alternate rumors with some sourcing much of it was transferred to his congressional campaign. Although we do know the fact if was the CFL that shouldered the pay for the $2 million dollar rally for the republic.
