Thread: Federal Matching Funds

    Federal Matching Funds

    Would Ron Paul refuse federal matching funds should he win the Republican Primary? Should he be asking the other candidates if they would do the same?

    Ron Paul's support is exponential, I'd like to see some exponential exposure from the campaign itself to get him out there. More talk shows, more radio, (Larry King, John Gambling, hell, even try John Gibson!)

    Now or never. Grassroots can take you pretty far, but this is the real world.

    It's pretty much a guarantee that he won't, but you have a point -- I think matching funds would help secure a win.

    But should we really be taking America's taxmoney to pay for our campaign?

    He is refusing federal funds for exactly that reason.
    Ron Paul's best political writing? (link)

    He should stick to his principles, refuse the money, and make a big deal about it.

    No FED money...We don't need it.

    Been hearing this sort of thing since April. I'm still waiting for the slow down.
