WOW! I can't believe people in my area have actually donated to John McCain :eek:

Check out your area???

Not many people donating to Ron Paul I see here in my area. :(

Majority in my area seem to be falling for Romney :eek:

One lady can't make up her mind, Q1 donated to Romney, Q2 donated to Tancredo and Q3 donated to Brownback!

I am the only one shown in my neighborhood for Ron Paul :(

McCain here in my town. But overall it is all about Huckabee and Clinton in Central Arkansas. Huckabee has got Alltel, Wal-Mart and Tyson Foods behind him here.

I only see one person that donated to Sam Brownback..

My name isn't on there and I donated to Ron Paul.. so I don't think this is reliable.

Pretty wide variety for my area, only a few RP supporters. One thing of note Ed Rust the CEO of State farm Insurance who lives about 3 blocks from here gave 2300 to Chris Dodd of all people.

Good. God. .... everyone around me is donating to Clinton or Obama. Out in the counties looks like there's some Romney and Giuliani, lots more Clinton and wait... there's two for Ron Paul. Wtf? Mine aren't listed? Is there a donation threshold for this thing? And what the hell St. Louis, start donating!

my town donation list reads like a list of nothing but Wallstreet and Law firms.

Yeah I am not sure HOW reliable this is....but it is neat to see just who people are sending money too.

Though it is sad to see all that money going to the "others" :rolleyes:

In my dinky town, Fred Thompson got 2000.00 for a couple.

In the area with surrounding towns included, it's weird, but there's a big mix of candidates who got donors overall. Unfortunately, our big "frontrunners" got the big bucks.:mad:

If you're a web developer, you know who 37signals is. Well, their CEO gave $1k to RP, $500 to Giuliani, and $250 to Obama.

he is the CEO of an internet company...he gave 1K to RP because he is against regulation of the internet. And the rest is hedging his best because he sees those guys as the people going into the General Election.

wow - Jim Von Maur - president and CEO of Von Maur retail stores. Why isn't that guy in my meetup group? :D

And why did he only give $500. He is worth at least 10 million dollars to day.

I think it only shows donations of $200 or more and perhaps only if given at one time.

I just had to see this on my local news I get in my email ....


It appears Barack Obama will be the first candidate in Vermont's presidential primary.

Supporters plan to deliver a petition to the Secretary of State's office Wednesday afternoon. Channel 3 has been told it has enough signatures to get Senator Obama on the ballot.

And the democrat from Illinois has collected more than signatures. As of this summer, Obama received more donations from Vermonters than the other presidential candidates combined.

:( :mad:

Pretty funny how George Soros only gave $2100 to Obama. Guess he couldn't swing that extra $200. http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/neighbors.php?type=name&lname=soros&fname=george&search=Search

This is not reliable at all. I thought maybe there was a minimum donation to show up on this list, but I just saw someone who donated $75. I donated $150 at least. I do not show up anywhere.

Also, in my entire city of Dover NH, the total donations listed for all candidates is tiny, about 10-15. We have a population of about 20,000.

Something's not right.

Then again, I do not even show up on Dr Paul's list of donors, even last quarter I didn't! Frustrating.

10-17-2007, 11:40 AM
the threshold is $200 bucks

that means you didn't donate enough
:) j/k

i didn't see mind either because I donate in smaller incerments...

All I know is that there are MORE people that donated to Ron Paul in my zip than any other candidate. Nice. And that is leaving out a few <$200 donators to ron paul that I know about, although to be fair, there could be some <$200 donators for the other candidates.

We are gonna deliver NJ to Ron Paul, just you watch.

I'd also like to suggest to those active in their local meetup groups.

Search for other Ron Paul donators in your area that you DO NOT KNOW and aren't in your meetup group. Seek out there phone number/address and contact them and try to get them involved. (But don't too pushy :) )

Chances are that if they donated, they may be willing to get involved and just don't know how.

McDermit
10-17-2007, 11:53 AM
1 obama, over a dozen Edwards, and just my family for Rp. No others. Which is nice, because Hazleton was home to Giuliani's new wife. No support here!

McDermit
10-17-2007, 11:55 AM
Donations for RP under 200 don't seem to show up, even if your total was over 200. My big donations are listed, but not the 50 and 100's

There are sooo many people in my area who have maxed out giving to Fred Thompson....:( I can't stand to keep searching. I mean, I am in Tennessee and all, but still...Fred Thompson?!?! Why have so many people given him $2300?!?! :eek: I just don't understand the reasoning behind such an investment at all! :confused:
The only good thing is that those fools can't donate any more to Freddy :D , and I really don't see him picking up any more steam! :rolleyes:

Its disturbing that the top guys at Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo are giving to Hillary and her clones in the Democratic Party.

The engineers have stepped up and canceled out their bosses' donations. :D

If you donated in increments smaller than $200, you likely won't show up.

I know my family's smaller donations are nowhere to be found, yet the $200+ lumps are all there.

wow a lot of Thompson in my area, any ideas what mail i should send these people?

someone right down my street donated 300 to Hillary... any good anti hillary or pro Ron Paul stuff i should put in thier mailbox? or just some slimjims send out to the people, i feel anti hillary anti thompson stuff would work better....

McCain is strong in my area.

Are any you guys planning on sending the republican donors stuff on Ron Paul? I'm thinking about sending them some flyers and a DVD. You never know maybe they just haven't heard of him yet.

zahirakids
10-17-2007, 03:16 PM
I think it might be a good idea to put something in there mailbox then again it might not help at all.

But if they donated a big sum of money they are probably going to talk about how good there candidate is to everyone they know on that street or in the area. So it be a good thing to do some canvassing in the area?

:rolleyes:

Pretty sure it's illegal to use donor lists to target people. Also, putting anything in mailboxes (unless mailed through the USPS) is also illegal.

Maybe he just wanted an anti-war republican... and doesn't know enough about hillary and assumed she was pro-war?

Or if the RP donation came later, maybe he woke up?

OMG, this is so fun! There are quite a few Ron Paul donors in my area. I wish I could get these people in our meetup group, lol. I just know there are so many more who did not donate over $200 each time that aren't showing up.

I am having so much fun reading all the donations though. I found Bruce Hornsby (lives in my area). He gave $2,300 to Obama though :mad: .

SlapItHigh
10-17-2007, 04:05 PM
Oh geez, there is one address where the total donations add up to $18,400 for Obama. A "homemaker" and several "students" all donating $4,600 from one home. Blech! That is an Obama loving family if I've ever seen one!

I went through all the zipcodes in my area - around 50 zipcodes. But I just pulled up my zipcode alone and counted 19 donors - 6 of which were obviously women. My husband has no interest in politics but we choose to put the donations in his name since it would show as being a military donation and we share our money anyhow.
