In an attempt to offer an idea in accordance with Federal Election Commission rules about fundraising, here's a thought for anyone that has a PAC or wants to start a PAC for fundraising.

Go to Kitco.com (https://online.kitco.com/bullion/completelist.html) and buy a few thousand dollars worth of 5 gram Kitco ChipGold bars and have them signed by Ron Paul. Then have someone trustworthy run an online auction on a site like ebay for the autographed memorobilia and be sure to follow all of the http://www.fec.gov rules.

The current price of the 5 gram bars is around $138.50 (about 9% above makret price for gold). These small chips of gold are not wise investments since you need to buy 1oz or more of gold to approach the spot price of gold (http://www.kitco.com/charts/livegold.html) however it is close enough to not be totally just a keepsake, it is somewhat close to market value.

been looking for something just like this - smaller units of gold - the smaller the better.

You can buy the 1 gram bars for about $31, about 20% over the gold market spot value. The shipping is a flat rate of $30 so you'd want to buy several. i think the best is the 5 gram ones though, sort of close to spot price, and big enough that Ron Paul wouldn't have to sign more than a couple from any one individual.
