Please help my friend Gage Skidmore reach his fundraising goal!

[Massachusetts]

Over the past five years, Gage Skidmore has been traveling across the country, coast to coast, simply to cover one of the most important political movements in our country's history. The campaigns of Ron and Rand Paul have proven to have a lasting effect on our country's overall demeanor, as evidenced by the rapid growth of the Liberty Caucus in the U.S. House, and the shift of many circles within the Republican Party towards a more non-interventionist foreign policy. Without people like Ron Paul educating the masses, this never could have happened.

Gage was a firsthand witness to the liberty movement after Ron Paul ran in 2008, and began by documenting the U.S. Senate campaign of a certain ophthalmologist from Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, he has attended more than 130 events from California to Texas to Iowa, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, Indiana, Arizona, and dozens of other states, uploading thousands of images in an attempt to combat the liberal media bias of other photo databases like AP or Getty. Photographing the liberty movement from the liberty perspective allows the average citizen to gain an accurate portrayal of the movement as a whole, and allows voters the opportunity to see the the movement that Ron and Rand Paul have inspired.

As we approach the 2016 election, and the campaign in 2015 gets closer and closer, I wanted to make a pitch for my friend Gage Skidmore to give him a boost to his fundraising efforts - by reaching out to the grassroots. Gage is only $185 short of his fundraising goal, and I think we should show him how much we appreciate his dedication to providing the liberty movement positive media coverage and the best political photos out there. Is it too much to ask for you to chip in $10-$20? I've already contributed $200.

This Indiegogo campaign will allow Gage to establish funds to travel and document the early phases of the 2016 election cycle. He's going to attend and post photos from all of the important events that the liberty movement would be interested in seeing covered, for as much as these funds allow him to do so. For those that donate, there are also several perks that are associated with certain dollar amounts, so please take advantage of those as well.

Please consider donating at the link below. If you would like to look at Gage's portfolio of images from the past five years, you can find his Ron Paul and Rand Paul photos by clicking each of their names.

Thank you, and I guarantee those of you who contribute will consider this a worthy cause.

Please consider donating. The situation in Ferguson, MO is the perfect example of how photographs in the media can create a narrative. We need to counter any narrative they try to use against Rand Paul and the liberty movement.

I like what Gage has done over these years. I'd like to support it.

I also have a habit of trying to speed-read things, including the OP of this thread. So maybe that's why I can't tell what this fund raising is for. It's possible that I would donate if I knew.

Could somebody say in one sentence, what that is?

I chipped in a small amount because I always enjoy your pictures, though I think you should really find a way to monetize your craft. The pics are too good to be working on charity.

Thanks brandon! And believe me, I've tried to monetize as much as I can, it's just not as much as many would think.

Only $165 to go!
