$1 on Jan 1
$2 on Jan 2
$3 on Jan 3
$4 on Jan 4

and so on until Jan. 31. IT EQUALS $496 TOTAL BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!

If everybody did that, we would each be donating a total of $496 in January. That would be WAY more than is needed to make $23 million!!

What is the credit card transaction fee?? Even if there's a fee, it still would be a good scheme because its fun and it wouldn't take long for the amounts to be greater than the fee.

Credit card charges on each transaction make this a bad idea.

no good - fees eat a percentage so low donation amounts = bad

Nah, Transaction fees don't make it cost effective. Try bigger numbers... like 10 dollar on jan 1st, 20 dollars on 2nd, etc.

but its fun enough to override that. It does have a downside, but still.

No! You will be forcing them to pay exorbitant credit card transaction fees. Just sell your 2nd car.

They don't need money. They need to hire a new ad agency or, even better, put some college kids to work. There are a lot of talented media arts and film majors across the country who would be willing to produce decent ads for a very small amount of money just to make a name for themselves. I have personally submitted several ads that are far superior to the garbage HQ is turning out. When we give the campaign money we are basically subsidizing crappy ads. I'm not sending one more penny until I see an ad that is worthy of Ron Paul. He's a terrific candidate with a terrible ad campaign.

Hey I like your Idea but I also agree with the credit card fees so how about a compromise?? How about doing your idea, except instead of starting on Jan.1 for $1.. start it on the 25th with $25.. and just do it for one week up till the 31st with $31 ??

We will be able to hit the $23 million this way by January 31st...

that's true, but do you think that's enough time for them to use the money??

they said they need it within 6 weeks right? this is within 6 weeks.

think about this.. $23 million in the first month??? that is outrageous.. in a good way..

I think it sends a very clear message. With that kind of money Ron Paul can dictate terms to the GOP.. If they wanna play shananigans.. we will be able to comfortably allow him to go another route with this kind of money.. There will be no question about it.

There is no way anybody can compete with us.

we could even go one more route.. make it 8 days instead of 7 and call it Ron Paul's Hanukah in January!

imagine all the people who've called us all antisemites. hah.. they would have egg on their face.
