Q3 Donations

[TheRothbardian]

Any guesses? I think its definitely over last quarter and it gives me more reason to donate!

[Tuck]

I heard we only raised $3,053.44, we better get off our asses and start pushing harder!

[wgadget]

A little over $3,000??? Wow, that's a really bad Q3...

[Abobo]

The Mexican guy on my street corner selling corn on a stick told me we only raised $1,000!
I believe him... I mean he sells corn!!! On a stick!!!

[quickmike]

Well, if it wasnt on a stick, id say you were full of shit, but since it is, id have to believe your source.

Id say about the same as last time, mabye a little more

[Paulitician]

I'd be disappointed if he didn't get at least 4 million :(

That might just be the case. We'll probably get no more than 3 mil.

[LibertyEagle]

Well, 4 million still stinks. He cannot conduct a nationwide campaign with this pittance. No way. Somehow, we're going to have to raise A LOT more money.

[SWATH]

How about auctioning off personally signed Ron Paul books, poster ads, and pocket constitutions, heck he could even sign his signature in section 7?

[brumans]

lol, that was hilarious

[Cowlesy]

Guys I will visit the palm reader on 39th and Lexington Ave in NYC tomorrow to find out. Will update after the visit.

Problem solved.

What would be really cool, is for each meetup to have some kind of sales fundraiser, with a % of sales going to the ron paul campaign.

You know the kind of thing were u go door to door and sell chocolates, you could also promote ron paul while doing it!

Promoting Ron Paul and making campaign money at the same time? Good Idea!

[Delaware]

or like a meetup barbeque on a highway where you could sell sandwiches/chicken/drinks/etc , with the profit going to the meetup's war chest or the RP campaign. promoting RP at the same time!

[Paulitician]

Snyder said it'd take 30 to 40 million for a national campaign. Yeah, I don't see how we can raise that kind of money...

[Slugg]

I have a ton of funny responses to this. But none come close to an informed Corn on a stick salesmen.

Sell a Paris sex tape? Or if someone had their own version of Youtube we could sell that to Google at a bargain for 50 mil.

[disinter]

You people are going to be SO disappointed. Unless he is raising some serious cash in CA, which I doubt is more than a 1 or 2 hundred thousand....

The money isn't there, unfortunately. I hope I am wrong, but my sources are a little better than yours.

[Man from La Mancha]

Snyder said it'd take 30 to 40 million for a national campaign. Yeah, I don't see how we can raise that kind of money...

1 million people x $100= $100 million. No proplem we just have to get more Ron Paul supporters.

Pssh Disinter, we all know you're a Bilderberger NWO/Illuminati/WWE/MIB guy.

But we still have our sources. Very important sources, who wear suits...and carry nice pens.

Well im glad someone is doing something productive to find out the truth. Oh, and by the way, ask her if I should buy gold or stocks while youre at it.

[Delaware]

We do have grass roots, and that is worth alot of money, but we still need the help of the media, which isnt trying to help at all.

[ThePieSwindler]

When exactly does Q3 end? Tommorrow?

[davidhperry]

I saw a thread earlier about the Q3 fundraising status but it requires a password now. Does anyone know about that?

[Ozwest]

We had STRIPPERS for Ron Paul. How PORN STARS for Ron Paul. Seems like a natural progression... Imagine the You Tube videos!

[wgadget]

Quarter 3 ends September 30.

Report is October 15.

[Slugg]

I saw a thread earlier about the Q3 fundraising status but it requires a password now. Does anyone know about that?

I imagine it had really high 'predictions' so it was banned. Last thing we want (even worse than a poor Q3 showing) is someone to start saying, "He's got 10 mil" then only cough up 3.

[0zzy]

Why is he getting significantly less? How is this possible? I remember there was A LOT of money raised throughout the summer and fall.

[Ron Paul Fan]

it might not be. the bottom line is that we don't know. no one posting in this thread works for the campaign so take what they say with a grain of salt. making guesses right now is worthless because all that matters is the actual thing which we'll know 3-4 weeks.

[Cowlesy]

Guys.

No one knows how much he's raised for Q3.

No one knows how much he's raised for Q3.

Nadie sabe cuanto en el Q3 ha levantado.

Personne ne sait combien il s'est élevé.

No one knows how much he's raised for Q3.

Please correct my 8th grade level Spanish and French.

[C4de]

No one, I repeat NO ONE, on this board has any legitimate evidence as to how much Ron Paul has raised in Q3 thus far. All of this is PURE speculation.

[Slugg]

With no disrespect intended for anyone who's posted already. This thread is a joke. While the Q3 numbers may not be what we want, they are not going to be near as bleak as this thread makes it sound.


The last quarter we were all way off. Some said 5 mil, some said 1mil....we ended up making a bit over 2. So, go figure. If there was any 'big timers' waiting in the woodwork, now would be the time for them to show their head and give some big cash.

I think us trying to predict his third quarter is as pointless as trying to predict who's going to win the lottery. There's just too many unknowns and too many variables.

But, since it's a random guess. I'll say $200,000,000,000,000. I can see the headlines (on page 4).
"Long Shot gathers all the money in the world. Polls at 3%."

[Paulitician]

Actually it's called spookulation.

But, does anyone know how much the top 25 meetups raised in those two weeks? Was it ever disclosed?

[Slugg]

Nope.

And I'm glad.

The suspense this quarter is more intense than all six seasons of Sopranos combined.:D

I don't care if he made 1 mil or 100 mil, I'm proud of the movement and proud I'm a part of it.

except maybe the corn on a stick guy............... he knows, but hes also a liar, so you cant know when hes lying or telling the truth, or just mixing a little of both.

Oh, wonderful. I can't wait to be "SO disappointed."

[Jon S]

im gonna go ahead and say that he makes 40 billion dollars. my sources are VERY close to the campaign and i can ASSURE you hes made at LEAST 36 billion, if not more.

[quickmike]

donor burnout, maxed out supporters, people struggling with their own finances, etc would be reasons it would be low. on the other hand, spreading message, more support base and hints from Snyder saying things are going "very well" would be reason to think the opposite. So what im saying is that its like trying to pick whos going to win the superbowl in the year 2030 with todays information.



Of course when Cowlesy gets back from the palm reader, well all know the exact number down to the penny im sure.

[Delaware]

After the RP campaign, we need to continue to fund constitutional government, and if anyone wants to run for their state congress or senate, or the U.S congress or senate, we should fund them.

[0zzy]

This is a tactic to raise a lot more money. A scare tactic, if you will.

"TERRORIST! OMG TERRORIST! WE MUST STAY IN WAR!"
"OMG WE HAVE LESS MONEY THAN LAST QUARTER! LESS! WE MUST DONATE ALL OUR MONEY!"

Are you implying that some individuals on this thread are taking their marching orders from al Qaeda?

LOL...

No, worse, MSM.

[AlexAmore]

I'm gonna geuss Ron Paul has tree fitty.

haha... 39th and Lex... I think she got blowed up when the steam pipe burst!

[Slugg]

Billion or trillion? It's important.

[disinter]

But we still have our sources. Very important sources, who wear suits...and carry nice pens.

Yes, they are Ron Paul's fundraising director, and his campaign chair. Both wear suits, not sure about nice pens.

[american.swan]

on the other hand, spreading message, more support base and hints from Snyder saying things are going "very well" would be reason to think the opposite.

"very well" according to what? I mean "very well" depends on Snyder's expectations, which we don't know.

[disinter]

I imagine it had really high 'predictions' so it was banned. Last thing we want (even worse than a poor Q3 showing) is someone to start saying, "He's got 10 mil" then only cough up 3.

3 is a little more accurate... and a little high last I heard.

[Slugg]

A very strong argument can be made to the effect that Ron is going to do very well this quarter. Again, it's all speculation. But fair speculation none-the-less. We also have to include how much more money the campaign is spending compared to last quarter. So, while donations will be strong. Cash on hand may be lower than expected. At the same time, the flying fish could provide a bump to the housing market in a much needed slump. So, who knows.

[disinter]

This is a tactic to raise a lot more money. A scare tactic, if you will.

The truth does scare some...

[Slugg]

3 is a little more accurate... and a little high last I heard.

We need to be clear. Are we talking Billions? or Trillions?

I'm kidding.

Sorry, I've been up a long time.

I don't know who to believe, I don't know what the donations look like, I'm just pressing everyone I know to drop 20 bucks and my wife and I are giving every penny we can spare.
