This thread is in holding to until some sold proof of the claim "****THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED **** Contractual evidence to follow *****" is made available and publically reviewed.

If it has already been done in the one of the 700 posts then post it here again.

Thanks for your understanding.


UPDATE!!

Here is the plan.

There will be two chip-ins for this:

The first will be as-is, and when complete Heath will send the money to AdamT's The American Liberty Coalition PAC. If the full $50K total (from both chip-ins) is not raised then the money will be refunded. The American Liberty Coalition PAC will source the funding to the boxer.

The second chip-in will go directly to The American Liberty Coalition PAC. If the full $50K total (from both chip-ins) is not raised then the money will be used for other Ron Paul advertising projects as desired by the PAC. For sizable donations you may want to pre-arrange some details.

In all cases, you must supply FEC info for large donations ($100?) which includes name and employer- this is standard for a PAC. The American Liberty Coalition has done some excellent work and was responsible for the winning YouTube debate commercial, "Something Big". See: http://www.alcpac.com. The $5,000 PAC limit applies as normal too.

I wills start a new thread on this ASAP.

I gave a donation last night. I just spoke with the guy this morning and he said Roy Jones Jr. is looking over the contract, but it looks good. If we don't get the contract, we get our donation back.

Do you guys understand that this will be on every sports show?

MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

Took you guys long enough but glad you stepped in, if this claim was legitimate it will be backed by evidence and reappear. If it wasn't a few hundred Ron Paul supporters have just been scammed.. <anxiously awaits ElectricChurch's reply>

I'd suggest you to stop posting links to the website for the time being, if you don't I expect you to be banned immediately. Especially considering the fact that you have got exactly 4 posts behind your name and are most likely trying to lure a few more people in for the last crumbles of the pie.

Seems pretty legit to me.

Who is in charge of it? Maybe he or she can post all the details here. Or ask for a fax/email and post it here in the forums from the Roy Jones, Jr. camp.

FYI, I do watch a lot of HBO boxing- some of the best out there to tell you the truth.

Are you in charge of it? If so, all we need is something to show that it is indeed genuine not just a website.

Do you have anything from RJJ in writing that they received your proposal? If not, perhaps you should ask so that we can see it on these forums- preferably a fax.

Go F' yourself. I have no connection to this other than being a Ron Paul supporter. Some of us actually do productive campaign actions instead of posting on a forum all day.

This campaign is built on trust, if you don't trust something, then don't donate. Otherwise STFU Mr. whole 9 posts.

So there is no guarantee this will happen- it's all up in the air.

I cannot support something that is "questionable" if it will occur. The groundwork needs to be set in stone.

Someone relatively newbie posted something like this a few months ago about having an ad ready in the New York Times- well, he actually did not and was hoping it will go through with enough funding. Everybody abandoned him. So you have to have the ground work before anything else to moves forward or established credibility.


I am not saying you are a newbie but it seems you have not developed enough credibility nor ground work done to support this project.

Let us know what happens soon if whether they will support it or not. If so, show us the proof.

Sir, honest men tend to understand that people expect to see contracts before giving fifty thousand dollars to a total stranger who doesn't have any actual agreement with anyone for anything.

I find it terribly suspicious that you are reacting with indignation when you yourself have stated that you do not have a deal in place.

Assuming that I can take you at your word, what on earth are you having people send money to buy if you don't have a deal in place yet? A hope? A dream? Typically, those come a little cheaper in my experience.

Well, I'd like to believe you. But if this is the case than learn from your mistake in approaching this. You started a chipin before you even had the website up and running, and you know as well as I do that a Chipin is not a pledge but people that Chipin actually send the money and it's gone. And as of yet there is still no real evidence that this ad could be done, or that you have even been in contact with anyone even remotely affiliated with RJjr.

You could discuss your idea here, you could start the website, you could ask people to pledge, you could show some contractual evidence or ask RJjr's management to send a short fax to an admin of this forum and then you could start a Chipin.

If you would have followed that order in approaching this you would have the money within a day. But starting a Chipin at step 1 and then failing to show any evidence to back your claim doesn't make you look very legitimate.

If you are legitimate then please go through with this. But provide some evidence before you accept further Chipins. You have seen how big the support would be for your proposal, and if you can prove that you can pull it off you'll have the money within a day and will even get your 5 minutes of fame in the regular media.

You'll even get 100 USD from myself, and most likely from ElecricChurch as well. If you are legit and if you can prove it.

This was what I was referring to. You are currently working on the deal.

Ok, so, when you have the details worked out, such as where the ad will be placed, on a t-shirt as you mentioned in the other thread, or on his back, as you also mentioned, how much it will cost, if it is legal, if the FEC will allow you to accept money for this venture without a PAC, if the boxing commission will allow this without fining Roy Jones, Jr., etc. etc. etc. (all details you mentioned were up in the air), then post the contract where we can all read it and then people will have to decide if 50k is better spent on this or on the TV ads that folks are trying to get funded to spread throughout South Carolina, or on dozens of newspaper ads in small papers (that worked for us in one county in Iowa), or any other project that needs funding.

I gave a donation last night. I just spoke with the guy this morning and he said Roy Jones Jr. is looking over the contract

What guy? Roy Jones or the guy that claimed he knew someone who knew someone who knew him?



Roy Jones is looking over the Contract?! Funny boxers usually have managers to look over there finances.
If it even exists,I would be very shocked and surprised to find out Roy Jones is personally looking over a contract that promises him money which the person admits they don't have.



but it looks good. If we don't get the contract, we get our donation back.

Yes, funny thing is a similar thing happened to me the other day!
I got an email from South Africa from someone who had inherited 50 million dollars and they said they just needed $500 for a transaction fee and they would give me 25 million.


I was of course skeptical but got an email from his orphan son saying he had talked to his father and it was true. His father would send me the money.

Funny, you sound a lot like him. God bless both your hearts.




Wake up people

Cyclone
01-14-2008, 01:46 PM
So, I have a great idea. To prove this guy is legit, all people who have donated should ask for their money back - as a show of goodwill on his part - and then when the thing gets done and a contract is produced all those people can donate again.

Unless of course they decide they would like to help others on this board who are trying to get the TV ads funded for South Carolina.

This could be sorted out quite easily.

Once heath.whiteaker has the signed contract, all he has to do is fax it through to someone at HQ along with the full name and home phone number of his contact, then once an official from the Ron Paul camp has confirmed that the fight is on and notifies Admin here, Admin could then open a thread where we can donate.

If it is not confirmed from HQ my $100 is going into the MLK pot.

If it is confirmed and we fail to raise the needed amount, I think the Ron Paul campaign fund should pay the rest. They would be silly not to. What a great opportunity it would be.

The thing that most labels you as a scammer is the fact that you still don't say something like alright guys.. I approached this the wrong way. Hold your horses and let me prove my legitimacy. I'll ask Roy's management to contact one of the admins so that you can have the solid proof that you desire. Please do stick by me through this project as it WILL happen. Evidence will follow later today

You don't do that.. You choose to say donate anyway

What on earth can he follow up on when even you say that nothing has been decided?


You have no right to jump on people just because they legitimately want to know where their money is going.

And whining that you are not an English Major makes me question you even more.

You are asking for 50k from the folks on this board and you don't even have any kind of deal in place.

Well.. I'd like you to get it together. But even you should understand where the skepticism comes from. If you are legit than just have someone from RJjr's team contact one of the admins on this board.

It is not a strange thing to ask for considering that the claim of this grassroot effort is rather out there. It's not that different from someone claiming that they can get U2 to sing an endorsement if we manage to get 50 k together in 5 days. Whenever people encounter such a claim, caution is advised.

So I'd suggest you to get off this forum and get your proof together! Once you do you'll have me on your side, until you do I'd advise against any donation. If you are legit and have half a brain (and it seems you do, whether you're legit or not) you should understand this point of view.

Hurry up man, there are only 2 days left!

Give me a break. Now you are whining that your whole scheme is falling apart with Roy Jones Jr. because of two members on this board? You are the one that jumped the gun on this one and you still are. Why don't you go away until you have something worked out?

Now you are using the oldest trick in the book, get the kiddies who are behind you to attack Church and Hanoi, the ones who are questioning you so that no further dissent will follow.

Did you honest folks here see those colorful sample tattoo adds?

I've been a rabid boxing fan for more than 30 years.... No way would a famous fighter like RJjr, said to be pound for pound one of the greatest fighters of all time, wear such a colorful tattoo, chosen by Ron Paul supporters like he was some kind of walking mindless billboard, making a political statement for someone he's not gonna vote for, in front of a sold out Madison Square Gardens, http://www.thegarden.com/boxing/ in front of millions of fans around the world for a measly 50,000 rapidly depreciating US dollars. He’s a multi, multi millionaire with an 88-acre ranch in Cantonment, Fla where he raises 1,200 birds, 50 dogs, 60 pigs, 13 horses and 18 cows.

If this were true you could raise 5 times that amount in one day to get him to wear RP shorts, shoes. gloves and a nice big Ron Paul boxing robe to match. I’d definitely would chip in to see that

HEY, Buddy, you are WAY out of line here. The man is asking reasonable questions.

What on earth can he follow up on when even you say that nothing has been decided?


You have no right to jump on people just because they legitimately want to know where their money is going.

And whining that you are not an English Major makes me question you even more.

You are asking for 50k from the folks on this board and you don't even have any kind of deal in place.

Don't you dare attack people on this board for questioning you. Don't you dare.

Then call the man. I have. He's easy to reach. His phone number is all over the place. You're the one who is doing nothing but bitching (you and a few others). If you have concerns (and no one says you shouldn't exercise healthy skepticism), then ACT on them. Follow up. Research. Do something more productive than spreading uninformed negativity. He's about to be on Jack Blood's GCN radio show. Tune in. Do something.

I have yet to accuse him of anything, I am just being cautious.

I want my money to go towards helping Ron Paul in the best way possible and to have the opportunity to donate towards an advert that will be (fake) tattooed on the back of RJ would be right up my street and I would consider that to be the best way I could spend my $100 to help Ron Paul.

For now, I am just going to wait for Admin approval.

Thanks for your support but he actually has a lot of support on this forum already and you'll probably get personal attacks yourself for questioning his motives.

I can understand where the support comes from, a story like this is easy to believe. It's the kind of story that you want to believe, and supporters of it tend to get rather fanatic.

I'm not by definition against his idea. If he could pull something like this off than it would be awesome and I'd encourage everyone to stand behind it. I would however advise caution because the claim is rather out there and all evidence supporting it comes from the man itself for the time being. And even if he can be called. Well, there are a lot of scam artists in the world and most of them are rather intelligent and convincing. It would be nice to see some proof from a source that has a relation with Ray Jones junior before too many donations are made. That's all.. If he really has the contacts than that could be verified by one of the admins.

He doesn't have to see that as a personal attack. He just has to get this proof together, it should be easy enough for someone who is in continuous contact with RJjr's management. If he does than we can get this thing going, he'll have my full support.

*****ALERT***** I JUST CALLED ROY JONES JR INC IN FLA.
On January 14th, 2008 Eyes Wide Open says:

THIS IS A SCAM!!!
I just got off the phone with a person named "Linda" who has been with Roy Jones jr for 15 years and she stated that she hasn't heard anything about this and is calling Roy Jones jr right now. She went on to state that she doubts that Roy would ever promote any candidate ever. He does not want to use his popularity to effect public sentiment one way or another for any candidate. As she and I discussed Roy has been an invitee to the white house and supporting one candidate over another is just something that is basically off-limits. She also stated that where they are fighting they do not allow boxers to put an advertising on their bodies and this is sort of beneath Roy Jones at this point in his career. I am still waiting on her call back but I emailed her this

website: http://ronpaulonroyjonesj...

That states the site owner is taking chip in donations for Ron Paul advertising so I strongly suggest you not donate to this and attempt to cancel the charges or get a refund whichever way you need to.

This is how i got in touch with the representative "linda" at this website:

http://www.yellowpages.co...

I am not sure we all want to be bothering her at once especially since she seems a little under the weather with a cold. But the phone number is there if a couple of people want to call in order to corroborate my information that is up to you but she is the only one answering the phone so i would not suggest we all blast her at once.

I don;t know who this person is that is saying he has spoken to Roy Jones jr inc. but I know I just did.

The thing that most labels you as a scammer is the fact that you still don't say something like alright guys.. I approached this the wrong way. Hold your horses and let me prove my legitimacy. I'll ask Roy's management to contact one of the admins so that you can have the solid proof that you desire. Please do stick by me through this project as it WILL happen. Evidence will follow later today

You don't do that.. You choose to say donate anyway

If you are as legit as you say you are, then why don't you change your course of action?I Agree.
Even the "donation return" post could be faked.
And it doesn't matter if it's grassroots, if it's this big the campaign can pay out of their funds directly, so all we have to do is donate there, and we know where that goes.
If this is a PAC, then search http://www.fec.gov/ or http://opensecrets.org/pacs/index.asp

When they hear "$20 Million in one day", they all come out of the woodwork.

01-14-2008, 02:26 PM
Ok, I will be pro-active.

To all those dying to depart with their money:

We have a big donation day called MLK day on January 21. Please save up and donate all you can on that day.

or,

There are other approved chip ins on the front page of this forum.

Nevada's caucus is coming up. I just read where someone paid for a whole billboard that says Ron Paul - No taxes on tips.

As a follow up to that, there is a chip in for ads in Nevada on the front page of this forum. That would help out a lot!

From what I have learned living in the center of the most Ron Paul signs per square feet in the country, they are not getting his message out. I made calls to everyone in my subdivision who also lives in the middle of more Ron Paul signs per square foot in the country and 90% of them had heard his name but did not know who he was, that he was running for president, or what his platform is. (All the signs around here say Ron Paul Revolution and Who Is Ron Paul or Ron Paul pro gun or Ron Paul pro life or Ron Paul pro firefighters, the list goes on and on. No one thought to put up one that said Ron Paul for President and my owners association doesn't allow yard signs).

So you all might want to think about that.

Another piece of info: in Iowa, we did very well in one county where some folks blanketed the area with Ron Paul ads in newspapers. They were able to put a lot of ads in a lot of papers because they put them into small papers.

You decide which is more effective, because at this point we are trying to win votes.

If he is indeed a scam artist than that is pretty sad actually. He'll rake in the most money after being exposed..

Anyway, expect him to be convincing. And somehow i feel less responsibility for the listeners to Jack Bloods radioshow than to the viewers of this forum anyway. have been reading here for quite a while but didn't post until yesterday when I saw how everyone was supporting this idea without having any facts)

Most of these donation drives that are exclusive to this forum and have chip in or paypal accounts that do not go directly to the campaign have no solid evidence

A website is not evidence

a proposal is not evidence (such as in this case a few designs of printed adds whether proposed on someone’s back or in some local newspaper)

Thank you llepard From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for what you have done for Ron Paul and for all of us here. That was truly inspiring. I ran out this morning at 6 am to get a copy of the paper.

I get a lump in my throat when I think of all the things people do for Ron Paul and for the cause. This is a day early, but I want to thank everyone and let them know how grateful I am to all for supporting this cause.

We will truly have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I apologize for any confusion.

Just repeating what the announcer said. Didn't mean to spread disinformation. He just mentioned, again, that Heath Whiteaker is coming up in 30 minutes.

Thank you Llepard!!!! and everyone else


Thank you llepard From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for what you have done for Ron Paul and for all of us here. That was truly inspiring. I ran out this morning at 6 am to get a copy of the paper.

I get a lump in my throat when I think of all the things people do for Ron Paul and for the cause. This is a day early, but I want to thank everyone and let them know how grateful I am to all for supporting this cause.

We will truly have a wonderful Thanksgiving!



Wow, that was harsh. I wonder how he stood that? Kewl, go back into your little hole. I would say that anyone that is trying to scam the grassroots is trying to hurt it, or are you talking about the grassroots for another campaign?

Correction, my bad. It was not for his ads. Sorry about that part only. (I'lld edit my post) It was about Lew Rockwell. You did say some harsh things but you already edited them out.

Nevertheless, my point remains the same- you stir up a lot of controversy. I've already seen it a few times already.

Just repeating what the announcer said. Didn't mean to spread disinformation. He just mentioned, again, that Heath Whiteaker is coming up in 30 minutes.

He also mentioned that heath and his people have been in touch with both Don King and RJjr himself. And he mentioned they have gotten about 3 k out of the 100 k that they think they need. Not exactly what he has been saying here but lets wait what he has to say for himself. Listen here:

http://jackblood.netfirms.com/home/listen.html

But be noted:
If he is a scamartist he will sound convincing as hell. This forum has been peanuts, he couldn't reach more than a few thousand people here. This radio show has a few hundred thousand listeners I believe and most support Ron Paul so he will sound convincing, ask for money, and refer people to his website This will not necessarily mean that he is legit, it might as well mean that he is trying to make some real money right now.

Anyway, anxious to hear from him.

01-14-2008, 03:18 PM
Sorry, have to keep this going.

I donated $50 to this last night. After reading the skepticism, I just emailed Heath to ask if I could be refunded until this is proven to be legit. I wrote that if this does pan out, I'd double my contribution, but I'd like to see something concrete. FWIW, he did refund immediately. I personally don't have a reason not to trust him, but I did get ahead of myself without research and thought I'd be safe. Let's just play the waiting game I guess.

This was posted over at DP. Any response?

*****ALERT***** I JUST CALLED ROY JONES JR INC IN FLA.
On January 14th, 2008 Eyes Wide Open says:

THIS IS A SCAM!!!
I just got off the phone with a person named "Linda" who has been with Roy Jones jr for 15 years and she stated that she hasn't heard anything about this and is calling Roy Jones jr right now. She went on to state that she doubts that Roy would ever promote any candidate ever. He does not want to use his popularity to effect public sentiment one way or another for any candidate. As she and I discussed Roy has been an invitee to the white house and supporting one candidate over another is just something that is basically off-limits. She also stated that where they are fighting they do not allow boxers to put an advertising on their bodies and this is sort of beneath Roy Jones at this point in his career. I am still waiting on her call back but I emailed her this

website: http://ronpaulonroyjonesj...

That states the site owner is taking chip in donations for Ron Paul advertising so I strongly suggest you not donate to this and attempt to cancel the charges or get a refund whichever way you need to.

This is how i got in touch with the representative "linda" at this website:

http://www.yellowpages.co...

I am not sure we all want to be bothering her at once especially since she seems a little under the weather with a cold. But the phone number is there if a couple of people want to call in order to corroborate my information that is up to you but she is the only one answering the phone so i would not suggest we all blast her at once.

I don;t know who this person is that is saying he has spoken to Roy Jones jr inc. but I know I just did.
More details as I get it.



Well, I don't see any response to this.

Am curious to hear the guy speak on Jack Blood though. He'll be on.. scamartist or not. It'll give him a chance to name his website live on Jack Blood, that'd reach a much much bigger audience than this forum did and will give him a few thousand pageviews and probably at least 100 donations.

If he is indeed a scam artist than that is pretty sad actually. He'll rake in the most money after being exposed..

Anyway, expect him to be convincing. And somehow i feel less responsibility for the listeners to Jack Bloods radioshow than to the viewers of this forum anyway. have been reading here for quite a while but didn't post until yesterday when I saw how everyone was supporting this idea without having any facts)

The more appropriate course would have been, for future reference, for everyone's benefit, to strongly advise caution, and to withhold donations, UNTIL evidence is forthcoming, instead of dismissing a project, out of hand, and residually discouraging future contributions to all campaign projects. Why damage all other projects through extreme negativity? What's the upside of that? Just wait for evidence. If the evidence never comes, you haven't lost a dime, and you haven't sunk a hundred other, legitimate, projects, by spreading hysteria. No hazard in remaining calm.

Here is the plan.

There will be two chip-ins for this:

The first will be as-is, and when complete Heath will send the money to AdamT's The American Liberty Coalition PAC. If the full $50K total (from both chip-ins) is not raised then the money will be refunded. The American Liberty Coalition PAC will source the funding to the boxer.

The second chip-in will go directly to The American Liberty Coalition PAC. If the full $50K total (from both chip-ins) is not raised then the money will be used for other Ron Paul advertising projects as desired by the PAC. For sizable donations you may want to pre-arrange some details.

In all cases, you must supply FEC info for large donations ($100?) which includes name and employer- this is standard for a PAC. The American Liberty Coalition has done some excellent work and was responsible for the winning YouTube debate commercial, "Something Big". See: http://www.alcpac.com. The $5,000 PAC limit applies as normal too.

I wills start a new thread on this ASAP.

Which is exactly what I did. I stated before that I'd like to back it if there was any evidence but there was none whatsoever. I called upon Heath to provide some before starting a Chipin but he just reacted in an offended fashion. Bryan seems to be backing it now though and I'll take it that he has gone into it. I'll rest assured and support the effort, let's get positive.

I'm trying to be quick on this, but it is up to the individual to determine the legitimacy. The best that I can do is verify there are no obvious false claims.

Cyclone,

Pay attention. This is how you do constructive criticism:


So there is no guarantee this will happen- it's all up in the air.

I cannot support something that is "questionable" if it will occur. The groundwork needs to be set in stone.

Someone relatively newbie posted something like this a few months ago about having an ad ready in the New York Times- well, he actually did not and was hoping it will go through with enough funding. Everybody abandoned him. So you have to have the ground work before anything else to moves forward or established credibility.


I am not saying you are a newbie but it seems you have not developed enough credibility nor ground work done to support this project.

Let us know what happens soon if whether they will support it or not. If so, show us the proof.

Thanks.

I also still have strong doubts. But seeing how there will be a secure way to support this (through PAC) I'll encourage people to start supporting it already. I'd advise to donate through the more secure Chipin just to be sure. You can so why not?

I'll donate some through the PAC chipin later, if this project doesn't pull through the money will be spend on other useful efforts anyway so I wouldn't be throwing it away.

People, this man has also made it very clear that nothing has been settled yet with the Roy Jones camp. He admitted it online.

So, if you want to fund this, go for it. I like to know what I am getting before I buy.

For example, if they decide, as Heath says in this post:

Ok. here is what is happening. We are close to having a contract however. They are checking to make sure he will not get fined for having this on his back. After the Golden Palace incident they were talking about fines..... His manager is checking to see if those fines are in place now. If so I will ask about maybe a T Shirt or some thing on the back of the shorts

Just sitting idle right now

If they decide to put Ron's name on a t shirt that the fighter might wave in the air at the end of the fight, or not get to wear at all if he is out cold, then none of you would be entitled to your money back.

With that in mind, you are grown ups.

Do what you want.

Well, that assumes they will show you the contract between now and the fight. Where do you see that promise in writing? Did I miss it?

Up to you, I usually look at contract then give money, but that is me.



By the way, I am just curious, for all those that are donating right now...

What are you donating to? What deal are you imagining is in place, because whatever you say, I find it hard to believe that is true when the man asking for the money hasn't told anyone yet what is in place.

Everything is at point A

All donations are going into private hands before Roy Jones knows anything about it. It's an idea Jones has not even seen.

UPDATE!!

Here is the plan.

There will be two chip-ins for this:

The first will be as-is, and when complete Heath will send the money to AdamT's The American Liberty Coalition PAC. If the full $50K total (from both chip-ins) is not raised then the money will be refunded. The American Liberty Coalition PAC will source the funding to the boxer.

The second chip-in will go directly to The American Liberty Coalition PAC. If the full $50K total (from both chip-ins) is not raised then the money will be used for other Ron Paul advertising projects as desired by the PAC. For sizable donations you may want to pre-arrange some details.

In all cases, you must supply FEC info for large donations ($100?) which includes name and employer- this is standard for a PAC. The American Liberty Coalition has done some excellent work and was responsible for the winning YouTube debate commercial, "Something Big". See: http://www.alcpac.com. The $5,000 PAC limit applies as normal too.

I wills start a new thread on this ASAP.

Please start at the beginning and read the thread before you jump on someone for venting just a BIT of their frustration with this. Obviously it was basically set up--then the guy hears RP is a racist..so now..who knows. Heath said since the beginning he would refund money if it didn't work out..give the man a break..

Just spoke with Heath. The ChipIn office opens at 9am PST and they've asked Heath to call them then. Should be straightened out in a few hours. I also just talked to the FEC about "advertising on a person". They laughed and said we'd be exempt from the typical disclaimers because it's impractical. So the FEC has cleared this. All we need is for the ChipIn to get turned back on and funded.

If the forum wants to ban me for being a jackass because I debated your proposal they can ban me.

But if the forum wants to modify or ignore its policy and ban me for debating that's fine with me.

For what length of time does a fighter usually wear a t-shirt that would be in plain sight of the TV media?

Dutch_in_Hanoi
01-15-2008, 02:10 PM
Heath,

No offense but I think that you shouldn't try to get a Chipin back up for the time being.

My reasoning is not that complicated: Look.. I hope you can pull something of but as of yet you yourself have admitted multiple times that in fact there is no deal. You don't know if you are even allowed to have a temporary tattoo, you are thinking about a T shirt but don't know how long he could wear it, you are thinking about the elastic band, the score cards from the girls between each round, etc.

And to top it of you don't even know right now if they would accept any Ron Paul ad in any form since the people over at RJjr's camp seem to believe that Ron Paul is a racist.

I would advise you to first sort things out. Talk with them and establish:
A) Will they accept any form of advertisement for Ron Paul?
B) And if yes, then what kind of advertisement. Is the tattoo possible, a shirt, the elastic band? And how much do they want?

You don't have the answer to either of these questions at the moment and I seriously believe that you should have these questions answered before you ask for money. In any case question A for starters!

If you get confirmation on question A (above) and they proceed to say something like: alright, a shirt will be worn for 1 minute minimum = 25 k, elastic band = whole match = 50 k. Tattoo = 100 k.

Then you know something and then you can ask for money. I really think you are approaching this the wrong way at the moment, you are only making things overly complicated for yourself and you force yourself to spend to much time on this forum. This forum can't do much for you right now you know? And you're defending yourself here for what? Fighting windmills my friend, get the RJjr camp around and then repost on this forum and you have everyone on your side. Instantly..

So focus on that part!

try to take this as being constructive
