I checked and you’re right. Thanks for pointing that out.
I’m sure he’ll at least match his previous total on the 16th. Of course, the more the merrier…
He can still do damage even with “only” 10 million in the bank.
And if he actually wins a primary, the donations will be off the charts.

Probably, I’ll be giving $100 again. About a week’s paycheck for me, (minimum wage and like 20 hours a week, gotta love it… /sadface) but well worth it to keep someone talking about the monetary and tax reform/govt structure platform that Ron Paul discusses in the running. What I consider a success from his campaign is to inject these issues into the national debate, so in that sense he has already done about all I ever hoped to get out of him, well worth $200.

He won’t take any state primary, I just can’t see it happening.

It would be wise to caution against guaranteeing the outcome of the primaries in any direction (for or against a given candidate), either a given state or the election as a whole. Life is often times too unpredictable for such a proclamation.
However, by all means, one should continue to support the candidate of ones choice. Ron Paul’s campaign appears to not only have excellent potential but is continually growing.

Are his supporters located in those 3 states? They are that localized? I don’t even have a clue as to how many of us there are, the spam thats thrown all over the internet by Paul supporters distorts any real attempt to gauge his support. The money bomb donations are all you really can go by.

Can I donate to RPs campaign as a non US citizen, and if so, how much?

Could someone of guys here who are against Ron Paul please elaborate why they do not like him (except foreign politics I understand that his views are controversial).
The more I learn about him the more he sounds like a wetdream of an typical conservative american. Anti-government, anti-abortion, pro-gun etc etc.
And please: “He has no chance” is not an argument. I really want to know why there so many conservative who seem to hate him.

Well, first he’d have to get congress to go along with it. Second, you’re loans will will not change except perhaps they will be repackaged and sold to an other bank. You’re rates probably wouldn’t change at all.

They would likely go up because they usually are unsecured loans made to someone with no assets without a federal backing.
It would become a riskier loan and more expensive.

Possibly, if they are allowed to change the terms. I am still paying loans and have already had them change hands but the rates were untouched.[/quote]

Actually, I meant what does this mean for people still getting federal loans. Does this mean that if Paul is elected, no one willbe able to get federal loans?

It’s a tough call to make. While - in principle - a free market will benefit the rich at the expense of the poor, the trillions and trillions of dollars (taxpayer’s money) saved by not waging unnecessary wars are bound to balance that. At least, the dollar wouldn’t be so weak and the oil not so expensive.
