    So we found the secret billionaire?
    We have allies many of you are not aware of. Watch the tube. Show this to your 30 and under friends. Listen to it. Even if you don't like rap, it has 2.7 million views.

    The article says this money was donated in the beginning of January, so it has probably already been spent.

    I wish he would donate to the Free State Project as well. They have done remarkably well with extremely limited resources; if I'm reading these figures correctly a single million dollar donation would be equal to roughly 20 times their annual budget. Look at all they've done so far and think of the progress that could be made if they actually had some real money behind them.

    Compare that to giving the money to a PAC which gives it to some huge media corporation in order to run some television ads that will be largely ignored and almost certainly won't affect the outcome of this race one iota.

    Oh well, it is his money of course, I would just hope that someone with his track record of picking winners would focus his philanthropy where it is most likely to bring about real results.

    There should be notices of media buys filed. (Not saying there aren't - haven't looked.)

    I wish he'd launch a nationwide 12-month billboard and print ad campaign; if I had billions, I'd be my own Super PAC

    Let's hope Endorse Liberty gets their act together...
    ☑ First they ignore you (Pre-2007)
    ☑ Then they laugh at you (2007-2008)
    ☑ Then they fight you (2008-2011)
    ☐ Then you win

    I hope they use this money wisely instead of blowing it on unwinnable races like Florida.

    Imagine how far the $3.5 million the PAC spent in Florida would have gone in Colorado, Minnesota and Maine!!

    They need to spend it on ND, Washington and whatever other caucus is on Super Tuesday and the following days.

    Right there. Support this idea. Perhaps it can be "tweaked" a little. But you have accomplished! When grassroots accomplishes, like you have, it just has to be noted.

    On another thread, I have as idea "get rockstars to promise to play a free show in Castine if Ron Paul wins Maine." The idea is the same. Incentivize.

    My idea is actually less manipulative than Bachmann's, which was essentially to bribe people to vote for her who had already turned out: First identify the Ron Paul supporters, then give them an incentive to show up.
    agree. incentive.

    also, agree with your success in the past.

    Someone email them and ask what they are using the money for.

    With the great ads revpac have put out, not sure why they cant get a piece of thiel.

  21. #78
    .... maybe they are spending all that money in mass.

    I joke.

    Yep. I admit I'm not aware of what all Endorse Liberty PAC does, but the fact that they spent a large amount of money in Florida really is hard to get past.

    Actually this has already happened. Endorse Liberty paid Revolution PAC $10,000 for the rights to some video (don't know what specifically).

    No one tell RevPac...

    Yes, please, for the love of all higher deities do not burn this cash in a primary state that we're gonna get creamed in. We need to get our high 20s and 30s in the caucus states up to 40s and 50s.
    In the 2008 primary, Ron Paul received over 1.2 million votes. If each of those people convert only 5 others to vote for Ron, we can win the nomination.

    The DHS now all of the sudden has access and can spy on everything you're during on Facebook & Twitter? No way!

    It was already spent, as I posted earlier. they had $60,000 or so on hand.

    I appreciate what EndorseLiberty has done. I just think they targeted a mostly already onboard demographic.

    I'd really like to see what RevPac can do with 2million dollars.

    I don't see why a best-seller writer, Woods, can't get an audience with Thiel.

    I will say, those "broadcasts", and "other" things to further the exposure of certain people IN revpac have been somewhat irritating. This is about Ron Paul, not some dude trying to get speaking time in a broadcast to a few thousand already supporters.

    I think, personally, that RevPac - with that money, could give us some needed wins. Their commercials are poignant and very "to the heart".

    I think this the pac that spent millions in FL even though it was a closed primary and the very best paul could do was an extremely distant 3rd. He still got 4th.
