Dude has be str8 up neglected, no banners, and he still hasnt reached the $2 million goal and he's been right there on the edge of it for the entire month.
He already had to return over 100k in donations due to some FEC law.
He has been hitting the pavement in CT for months, now running effective commercials and radio ads, and has begun to pick up Republican Town Committee endorsements. The guy is really trying is easily one of the best liberty candidates currently in the running, if we get this guy in the Senate the would send shockwaves around this country and shake the Republican establishment to it's knees.
He has offered to pitch in 500k of his own money for this month, and match whatever we put in for the May first money bomb. I dont know if you guys dont think he has a chance but the only way he has a chance is if we donate. The Convention is in May and he needs to have momentum going into it so he can get the 15% delegates.
Here is all the info you need to get Schiff in the Senate.

Q: What is the maximum amount I am allowed to donate to the Schiff for Senate campaign?
A: All donations are accepted up to $2,400 per individual for the primary election and an additional $2,400 per individual for the general election.

Q: How many delegate votes does Peter Schiff need at the May 21 Connecticut Republican State Convention to get on the August 10 primary?
A: Candidates need 15% of the delegates' votes to automatically be on the primary ballot. If a candidate does not secure 15% of the votes at the convention, they can petition to be on the primary ballot by collecting 8,500 signatures from registered Republicans in Connecticut. If a candidate gets 50% of the delegates' votes they win the party's official endorsement. However, it is possible for another candidate to also get 15% of the vote, resulting in a primary. If any candidate gets 85% of the delegates' votes there is no primary unless 8,500 petition signatures are collected for another candidate.
Q: Who are convention delegates?
A: Delegates vote in the state convention nomination process to decide who qualifies for the party primary ballot and general election party endorsement. To become a delegate you must be selected by your Republican Town Committee, which you can join as a registered Republican. Each town committee is allocated a number of delegates depending on the number of registered Republicans in that town. Usually Republican Town Committees select members of their own committees to serve as delegates and alternates to the convention. Elected Republican officials such as the governor, mayors, members of the Connecticut House and Senate as well as the US House and Senate automatically are qualified as delegates. The state Republican Central Committee chairperson and members are also automatically qualified as delegates, but the vast majority of the approximately 1,600 delegates are selected by each individual Republican Town Committee.

A: No, you must be a registered Republican in the state of Connecticut to vote in the Primary and over the age of 18 at the time of the general election on November 2 (so you must be born before November 3, 1992).
