Question about postcards .... Help!

[Heather in WI]

Hello!

I am in the process of printing out 1,000 postcards to mail.
(http://ronpaulwinswisconsin.chipin.com/ron-paul-postcards)


I need to know if I should change this text on the back:


"Authorized and paid for by Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign Committee"

to something else?

If so, to what?

Also, do I need to register this with any organization? I don't want to besmirch Ron Paul's campaign by not complying with any laws that may apply.

Thanks for your help and expertise!

I'm not a lawyer, but I play one on the internet. :)

I'd say that if you are paying for them, it's an independent expenditure. I would change the "Paid for by..." to your name or organization. Authorized probably doesn't matter because the campaign is not paying for them - but leave it on if you like to establish who is resposible for the deisng (I'm assuming you downloaded cards from the official site).

Hope that helps!

I put on mine, "Paid for by friends of Ron Paul"

Still, can anyone tell me if I need to register this with the FEC?

If it is a personal expenditure over $250, it may need to be registered with the FEC. That's one of the great questions we are waiting to be answered about people buying ad time on the blimp. I am 99.99999997% sure that is an issue that if it has to be addressed at all, it is only at tax time. :)

No, it's through a chip-in. The most anyone gave was $100.00.
