For your kind consideration: (gas money for campaigning in Vegas)

[Ball]

I drove to Vegas (from Oregon), and I could REALLY use some gas money!
http://ball.chipin.com/gas-money-for-vegas

I've never solicited funds in my life, but gas is really spendy here (spent an avg. of $3.25+ getting here, in-town prices are a bit lower, maybe $3.10), and I'm nearly broke. Just driving here cost over $200, and it'll cost that much to drive back (I'm hoping to get $400, but anything would help). If I have to do much driving around town that could easily add another Bengamin to my total.

I've easily spent $2k and who knows how many hours trying to get Ron elected. I campaigned in NH for nearly a month when I could have been working. I have no regrets, but I'm feeling the pinch and a week here could have me waiting tables or stocking isles to make up the difference.

I think you can also contribute to OLFD and just leave a memo like "Ball's gas money"

Any contribution would be most appreciated! THANK YOU

PS:

I mean c'mon man, this is the sock I'm currently wearing :D :

I think that's a better option since we don't know who you are.

I don't have a cell and I haven't had time for lunch due to canvassing. I could try meeting people after the caucus, or you could just contact me via any OLFD member (there aren't many of us here).

You can contribute to OLFD and attach a memo like I suggested, or PM me, or whatever. I don't understand your FUD, it's like you're suggesting I hacked OLFD's account or something.

If you want to know why I am concerned about a personal "chipin" account see this thread:
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=88830

"Forum Users Roxic27 and NayJevin AKA Roxie and Jay", which also used a personal "chipin" account and as I understand it, are no longer welcomed by OLFD but the link still remains.

You and others can get mad at me if you want, but you have to understand it from this point of view. I simply want to make sure my funds go to what they should go to.

The OLFD group does do some good work so a donation is worth it in my opinion, and I hope this info makes people feel better about donating:

Vijay will vouch for me. He's the one who suggested I solicit funds in the first place.
