I am completely embarrassed on so many levels, one being the ad, two the way some are acting about the ad and attacking the C4L.

Big bucks – and lots of praise – for Senate candidate Ken Buck
By Lynn Bartels Denver Post Staff Writer

Ken Buck, U.S. Senate candidate
A group called Campaign for Liberty is spending almost $350,000 on ads touting Ken Buck’s GOP Senate campaign.



If it's not true, it just takes two minutes to deny it.

---------------------
John,

Apparently you are not answering your phone or emailing an explanation about why C4L decided to spend $350K advertising pro-war candidate Ken Buck. This is a major concern within the Liberty Movement at this moment. It would be wise if you would respond in some way asap; answer your phone, post an announcement on Liberty Forest, or send out a mass email.

Thank-you

So you know exactly whose $5million went into starting up C4L and whose was spent on the campaign? If you can get me the tax forms to prove it, I'd appreciate that. It might help me figure out where C4L's 990's are.

And you know when she donated $1,200 to the CFL (not the Ron Paul campaign) and when that was spent? Maybe everyone should just contact you for the answers. :p

Seriously though, while I'm not ready to through the CFL under the bus (yet), folks have a right to be mad and to vent. The ball's in the CFL's court now. And if the end result is that people end up donating more to specific candidates they trust and less to a centralized organization that's not the end of the world.

This was a mistake I am not going to make again although I only spent $100+ donating directly to Ron Paul in 2008. Look, if you guys want to help CFL, Rand Paul and Ron Paul you guys are doing it the wrong way...give money to them directly and stuff like this happens...I don't trust the Paul family with my money after they blew $34 million in the 2008 presidential race and did not win a single state. I don't ever recall RP saying that he would be careful with campaign contributions and spend the money wisely like Peter Schiff has. What you should all do instead is buy bumper stickers, T-shirts, etc at the Campaign for Liberty Store, the RonPaulforCongress.com store, etc and pass this them out or sell them on Ebay...that way you accomplish two goals...helping spread the liberty message and donating to their campaigns. Store purchases are considered as campaign contributions....at least if you make a purchase at their stores, you get something in return and you may even get back your money by selling the merchandise.

Yeah, this is exactly the problem with political orgs.. they take your money, but not your philosophy. Instead you give THEM money, and they promote their own philosophy.

Well, that and I hardly have ANY money AT ALL so.. donating to political orgs is not likely to happen from me. I can make a bigger difference with my technical expertise, setting up networks or something. Sending them my money is just taking food out of my kitchen, and sometimes is the difference between eating and not eating for a day.

Exactly. People who gave money have no one to blame but themselves. I know when I give thousands of dollars to people I ask where it is going to go first.


When I gave to Ron Paul I KNEW he wasn't going to spend all his money and entrusted him to do what he wanted with it. AT THAT POINT IT WAS NO LONGER MY MONEY.


Some people here have a hard time understanding that.

So far I haven't heard anybody suggesting a lawsuit to get the money back. Yes the CFL has the right to do with the money what they will and people have a right to publicly complain about it. Everything that's transpired fits within everybody's "rights". I get junk mail and telemarketting calls from John Cornyne's racket asking for contributions all the time. When I found out that he donated money to Rand's opponent, even though his marketer claimed this was just about helping republicans win in the general election, I complained and I had a right to.

No, the C4L started out as one thing and morphed into something else. That said they did keep people from the campaign which should have been a huge red flag. The difference was that THIS was supposed to be all about the grassroots. And they still say that. Even though instead of sending the damned survey to state coordinators to utilize on the ground they have a full time staffer to handle the logistics of sending it out on a state by state level. Apparently Vermont candidates won't get the survey until July.

Please, ItsTime, just stop defending them already. When it's over, if you're right you can post 6 million times about how you were right. Until tehn, the burden of proof is on C4L and you driving a wedge between yourself and other posters here is doing a lot more damage than good. However, you do have aright to your opinion.

Well I think most people research candidates positions rather than their campaign spending habits. That said this is apples an oranges. Saving money from a congressional campaign when you're ahead anyway and you're going to run again in a couple of years is one thing. Saving money is a presidential campaign, when you're behind and when spending that money might actually do some good is quite another. Still I didn't complain when he ended the campaign with a lot of money left over. Spending the money on a candidate that goes against a major reason why a lot of people supported you in the first place.....?

That said, I'm pretty sure this was not a direct decision by Paul. If so I just don't get it. And while the C4L has a right to spend it however they wish, there is also consequences to how you exercise your rights. One may be not getting as much money next go round.

In my personal experience when you start questioning C4L on this forum phone calls are made and the big guns move in to try to take you out.

They called me from this number: 202 730 9944

In my opinion, they should have stopped the robo-calls, in light of what is going on right now. But, I'm pretty sure that C4L hires another organization to make those calls. They're not doing them themselves. They probably made the arrangement for the calls to start, some days ago.

Maybe, LE, if you hadn't been the only person here SQUELCHING any kind of criticism of C4L we may have had a better idea of what was going on by now and would have had more leverage to actually make it a bottom up organization.

You can pretend all you want that you don't know what I'm talking about or that you played no such role but you absolutely did. You did it EVERY time. And when you didn't want to do it on the open board you took it to a private conversation with me. So please, shut up and stop acting like Matt Collins minus the rolly-eyed emoticon with your "who me??" "I don't know what you're talking about" crap.

I will say it AGAIN. I posted criticisms. You got ticked off, pointed Debbie Hopper to the thread I was active in and she asked my state coordinator to let me go. You can play little miss innocent all you want but you and I both know YOU put her on that thread. You and I both know YOU had a problem with what I was saying and you damn well wanted to make sure she saw it. You can come up with all the bullshit excuses you want about how you had nothing to do with it but the facts remain. And after I listened to you try to weasel yourself out of responsibility and you KNEW I KNEW the truth you started harassing me even further.

So can it already.

Exactly. People who gave money have no one to blame but themselves. I know when I give thousands of dollars to people I ask where it is going to go first.


When I gave to Ron Paul I KNEW he wasn't going to spend all his money and entrusted him to do what he wanted with it. AT THAT POINT IT WAS NO LONGER MY MONEY.


Some people here have a hard time understanding that.


I dont give money so I can tell them what to do. I guess some people give money to orgs so they can claim ownership of that org and boss it around.

Regarding who has the worst misunderstanding, it appears you don’t even comprehend such basic concepts as:

1) ANYONE can complain - no matter if they gave money or not;
2) Contributors are NOT “to blame” more than the misappropriators.

idirtify
01-28-2010, 02:46 PM
And I have good reason to be pissed about people attacking them.

No. If you are comparing your reason to the reason for the complaints against C4L, yours is not a “good reason”. Surely you understand the principle of relative merit.
