I dont think they can. They can't endorse anyone particular candidate

They paid for tickets at CPAC. Why can't they pay for buses?

Yeah, good point! I assume they would be able to provide busses, transportation, tickets, etc, but wouldn't be allowed to "endorse" a candidate. I'm not positive about that, but it seems like they would be allowed to do that since they have performed similar activities in the past (ex. CPAC tickets).

flat out no, i had to be careful how i worded this thread here http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?291933-Colorado-Campaign-For-Liberty-Links&highlight=colorado+links cfl cannot endorse or anyone working for cfl cannot endorse a candidate openly from what i learned from our cfl leader!!

Cool. If there is a way CFL could help out by providing funding for bussing/tickets, that would be awesome!!

Well no reason for Paul campaign to pay for buses if C4L can have a booth there and set up buses as well. Or maybe he would need just less buses.

Ummm...can't C4L just pay to bus C4L members in Iowa to go to the straw poll?

That's what they did for CPAC.

Are there a lot of Romney supporters in C4L?
