I've donated 200 so far, and hae another 200 set aside for the next two bombs, and my cash flow kinda ends since I'll be in college/real world transition for the bulk of december/january/februarywhich by then might be too late to donate more.

So if anyone WHO'S MAXED OUT want to donate more to the campaign [Admin- removed fund raising idea not allowed by FEC]

I'm hoping to give 1000 on both dates if possible, just thought I'd reach out.

I was gonna try to make this like a radiohead thing promoting my new album @ alexmerced.com but then I thought that might seem like a conflict of interest

So I thought it'd be less weird for me to just ask outright.

If your not maxed, then well... this won't really matter, lol

what's the legality of this?

Not sure, does somebody got an answer, it's a good question, would it be more legal if I went the radiohead route and said it's donations for my album and that the proceeds are going to RP?

its not legal. Work harder to max out. I am sure people need some marketing done for them :)

ok, I guess a mod should lock this thread then, oh well, as ItsTime said if anyone want to hire me as a marketing consultant...

Ive got the background and skills to be hired as a marketing and/or website usability and design expert too. :)

Ive only been able to contribute $358 so far, will probably do another $150 on 11/30 and 12/16 to bring myself to $658.

Alex, why are you running for office (without more experience)? No offense, but a lot of the ideas you have proposed (getting support of scientologists, this, etc.) are either very illegal or very unwise. :p

It is a felony -- and it definitely gets prosecuted. Here's one example:

Maxed out people can contribute to charitable organizations in the name of Ron Paul - as in homeless shelters in Florida, right? ;) :)

This makes it sound like throw out a lot of bad info, I can only think of 1 0r 2 including this, in my defence. Plus, for how much I've posted in the last three days, I allowed a few lapses in thinking.

Like Winning the New Hampshire Primary.... Operation LIve Free or Die is bringing volunteers from all over the country to canvass New Hampshire, most of them don't have much money, or don't have any like us and are digging into their home equity to do so.


You can contribute here directly to our family:

Or contribute here to the general fund:
