Ron Paul announces a new website for his Liberty PAC!

From his FB page:

"Today, I launched a new website for my Liberty PAC. I have some big decisions to make about the future, and Liberty PAC will play a critical role in my upcoming political activity."

The time is near...

[Matt Collins]

Gary Johnson is using his 'Our America Initiative' PAC to springboard into the 2012 Presidential Race. He has not formed an exploratory committee but yet he is traveling the country and talking like a candidate, even though he isn't a candidate...yet. Why is he doing this? Because the draconian FEC rules put significant restraints on any candidate or individual who has formed an Exploratory Committee. He understands that his best way to raise support this early in the game is via his PAC. Other likely candidates are doing very similar things (Newt, Romney, Huck, etc).


Ron Paul has a little known Political Action Committee as well. It's called Liberty PAC. http://www.libertypac.com

Do the research and you'll discover that LibertyPAC is funding the hotel for the RP Supporters this upcoming weekend at CPAC. LibertyPAC helped fund Adam Kokesh, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul as well as Justin Amash and John Dennis. You can find more here: http://www.opensecrets.org

As you've seen in the news, Ron is already speaking in Iowa very soon (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?278233-Proof-that-Ron-Paul-WILL-RUN-in-2012-Check-this-out&highlight=iowa). His grandson-in-law and right-hand-man Jesse Benton has indicated that he'll probably run:

and
- http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?278342-Fox-News-quot-Ron-Paul-Strongly-Considering-2012-WH-Bid-Accepts-Invitation-to-Speak-in-IA-quot&highlight=iowa


Ron has also publicly mentioned that he most likely will not form an exploratory committee this time around but instead jump straight into the campaign (I can't find the link but I remember his quote on it being posted around here somewhere).


What does all of this mean?


Just like Gary Johnson, Ron is already running for President in 2012, just not "officially"... yet. LibertyPAC will be used to support Ron's outreach activities until such time that he announces his candidacy.


Within the next few days, mark my words, the LibertyPAC website will get a facelift. When it does that will be the signal to donate heavily to LibertyPAC so that Ron will be assured of his decision to run for President. If LibertyPAC does not see a massive increase in funds over the next few weeks, it may change Ron's mind away from running a 2012 campaign.



If you give to LibertyPAC what will your money be used for?

LibertyPAC can fund 'issue-specific' mailings, advertising, consultants, polling, administrative expenses, as well as Ron's travel expenses, events, and rallies prior to him starting the 2012 campaign. Again, LibertyPAC will be used as the test buoy for the real campaign. It's kind of like an exploratory committee without all the red tape.

Wow, I didn't know Ron had an 800 number, 1-800-RON-PAUL. LOL How cool is that. Perfect amount of letters.

[college4life]

[Deinonychus]

Just donated $250.

[anaconda]

How is this different from the Campaign For Liberty site? Does this have different tax implications? Sounds like this is the springboard for the POTUS run..

[Inkblots]

Oh my gosh - I'm starting to get excited!

[Matt Collins]

Ok I just donated too. So I can donate a maximum of $2400 to this and a maximum of $2400 when he says he runs and has his official Ron for POTUS site?I do not believe there is a limit of how much you can donate to the PAC. There will however be a limit that you can donate to the campaign.

[Matt Collins]

How is this different from the Campaign For Liberty site? Does this have different tax implications? Sounds like this is the springboard for the POTUS run..Yes exactly. CFL is not a PAC, it's a different type of organization with different structure and different restrictions, tax classifications, etc.

If this is indeed a pre-presidential run program should we not be doing some type of money bomb or something to drop some real cash into this thing to show that we are willing to support him? Does anyone think that it is in the realm of reasonablitily to assume that he may still say no if the pac does not draw much support? I know that many are already donating, but money bombs generally generate more money.

Any links?

Yes, so everyone donate there millions of dollars now before it's too late..

Also, someone on the DP was saying that you can donate tens of thousands of dollars legally by giving gold and silver dollars to a campaign. Anyone know if this is true?
