[bobbyw24]

Wow-wish I had that much to donate.

[brandon]

lol nice. Why break it up like that though? That makes them have to pay more in cc processing fees.

[rprprs]

I'm more curious as to why you chose those specific amounts... like 88, 93, 103, etc?

In any event, BRAVO and KUDOS!

[Chester Copperpot]

nice job

[pauladin]

you're awesome!

[erowe1]

He donated $100, and then he donated twelve times in pairs that each add up $200, with each pair being $1 further from $100 than each previous pair.

So the final pair is 112 (=100+12) and 88 (=100-12).

[TXcarlosTX]

thats hard man! viva la revolution!

[jt8025]

I wanted the campaign to still be able to say they received there money from small donations and it wouldn't let me donate $100 twice in a row so I had to improvise.

[jrice]

Awesome.

[trey4sports]

Way to go dude!

+rep!

[Melissa]

Great job!!!

[erowe1]

But when their FEC report comes out, it will only have your name on it once, with $2,500 as the amount donated.

[reduen]

Dude... Far be it for me too rain on your parade...! You are the proverbial MAN!

[Magicman]

We need more people like you to set the example.

[jt8025]

It may but every time I have looked up what I have donated by doing a google search it come ups with the individual donations. Also, the campaign can claim it as 25 donations that average $100 because it was. Just didn't want to skew the average donation amount with a large donation.

[K466]

I don't think some individuals donating $2500 will do much to the average donation statistic, but who cares anyway, $2500 is awesome, thanks! Wish I could do the same!

Hopefully more people are going to be doing that today.

[Brent Pierce]

Wow, excellent! Creative delivery too. Thank you. +rep

[LibertyEagle]

A few large donations aren't going to skew anything. If anyone else donates a large sum, save the campaign money and do it all in one. No need to have more of it going for transaction processing fees than is absolutely necessary.

[Anti Federalist]

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

[Chieppa1]

#winning.

[GunnyFreedom]

Isn't $2,300 the max for a cycle?

[Chieppa1]

Isn't $2,300 the max for a cycle?

not if your a corporation. Or Goldman Sachs.

Yeah, this is true for future reference... we want the campaign to have more money and less lost to fees. :) But thanks for the total amount!


Isn't $2,300 the max for a cycle?

Not sure, but maybe they increased the amount allowed since 2008 due to inflation?

[GunnyFreedom]

They can always hold the excess $200 until after he primary. :) That's what is traditionally done.

[misconstrued]

Awesome!

I maxed out last time around and intend to be a member of the $2500 club this time too. Unfortunately, it won't be today, but it will be :)

[speciallyblend]

puff puff pass , thanks for your donations hopefully it wakes the gop the f up!!

[jt8025]

Isn't $2,300 the max for a cycle?

$2500 is the max for this cycle. It was $2400 for the 2010 cycle so I guess they adjust it every election cycle.

People they limit, but special interests they don't limit. :rolleyes:

I picked a bad line of work, because I really hate stupid.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. These FEC laws are supposed to reduce corruption in campaigning... oh, but the corporations aren't limited. The irony.

[AtomiC]

Thanks for adding reputation to this user. May you be lucky enough to receive the same Reputation back in turn.

[libertarian4321]

I always donate in smaller amounts, too (under $200) because I think that way you can stay off the FEC lists, especially if you make minor changes to your name/address (e.g. donate once as "Bob" and the second time as "Robert"), etc- they are less likely to be able to compile them under one person. Or at least I think this is the case.

[Liberty_Mike]

$2500! Holy crap! Well done man.

[KCIndy]

$2500! Holy crap! Well done man.

lol

Yeah, what he said! :) Great job!

[goRPaul]

I also find it odd, but congrats! And might I ask, what do you do for a living that allows you to be so generous?

[libertybrewcity]

+1 rep! too much rep given out...tmrw though!

[jt8025]

I also find it odd, but congrats! And might I ask, what do you do for a living that allows you to be so generous?

I work full time as an Electrical Engineer and also run a company Southern Steamers (www.southernsteamers.com - shameless plug since I was asked)

Southern Steamers is a company that my father founded about 10 years ago out of our garage. He passed away last year from a year and a half battle with cancer and had signed the company over to me a couple of months before he passed away. I had been working in the company so the transition was mainly learning all of the government regulations that I had to follow. :mad:

So now I have less time to campaign but more money so I figured I'd try to help get the campaign off to a good start.

[Ray]

Applause!

[tropicangela]

repped ya!
