Money bombs now planned for Peter Schiff and Rand Paul
One reason that elections in the United States have become so expensive is that the duration of the campaigns is growing from cycle to cycle.
I believe that partially due to easy access to information on potential candidates even before they decide to run for office. Where before the duration of the campaign would be dictated by the deadline of official filing dates and the content of national newspapers such as the New York Times.
I’ll take the Liberty movement as a case study in this phenomenon of the extended campaign. Because this phenomenon is not exclusive to Presidential cycles but even now to midterm Congressional elections.
The importance of the upcoming money bombs (and general fund raising in the coming weeks) for potential Senatorial candidates Peter Schiff and Rand Paul already weigh heavily on the races that will not take place for over a year.
While the long campaign forces the candidates to raise more money, even in local Congressional races, it gives candidates who have national appeal (both Paul and Schiff do) more time to get the word out and raise money nationwide. These candidates’ primary opponents will be raising their money almost exclusively in state and thru the RNC and affiliated PACs.
This nationwide fundraising potential allows grassroots candidates that are outside of the mainline of the GOP establishment a chance to be competitive in the fundraising realm, strictly because their message resonates so deeply with their supporters.
And I believe that with the right candidates, the nation is growing closer to seeing the dominos fall for the Liberty movement in Congressional GOP races.
Rand Paul has raised $138,000 plus as of this writing and it is not yet clear how much Schiff has raised. Schiff who has only said that after one day of his exploratory site being online he had received contributions from 1500 donors.
Trevor Lyman, the mastermind behind the first Ron Paul money bomb back in November of 2007 has organized the money bomb for Rand Paul to take place on August 20th. The goal of the money bomb is for 10,000 supporters to donate $100 for a grand total of $1,000,000. The website for the money bomb is RunRandRun.com
The same goal is set for Schiff’s money bomb, which is set to take place on August 7th. In the week leading up to the money bomb Revolutionbroadcasting.com will hold a “Jerry Lewis style telethon” in the lead up to the actual day of the money bomb on the 7th. The Schiffathon.com website already is showing that 6130 people have pledged to donate.
It is important to point out that neither of these money bombs or their sites are organized by the candidates themselves, they are both strictly grassroots efforts, which makes the potential accomplishments that much more astounding.
These money bombs have the potential to get these grassroots driven candidates on even footing in the fund raising department with the GOP establishment candidates even before they officially announce their candidacy.
There is however an inherent risk in these money bombs. If they fail, they become easy targets for opponents and could discourage future contributors that have yet to hear the message. So there will be a lot on the line for both candidates on their respective day.
It will be an exciting time in the weeks and months to come.

Comment by Ghd Australia on 25 July 2011:
This wonderful product is simply the best because it liberates vast amount of far infrared heat; that distributes eventually on the whole surface and that will keep your locks safe and full of moisture. Also protect them from any spot damages. It also produces the right quantity of negative ions. These are really effective in order to stop the unneeded chemical; bacteria and fungi etc.Its automatic heat control system not only gives you the heat control setting to set it according to your need. But if it is not being used for more than 30 minutes, automatically its heater will turn off which makes it light when it comes on power-consumption. GHD Hair Straightener has the ability to control its own internal temperature. To avoid internal condensation, the straightener turns-off itself when the temperature of the room falls below 8 degree Celsius.So what you are waiting for? The best electronic products are currently available in the market grab it up with GHD IV Salon Styler Ceramic or GHD IV Styler Ceramic Hair Straightener. You got it?

We regret any inconvenience this might cause our fans, families and players,” said Tide owner Mike Jennings in a press release. “However, we were not able, after months of trying, to get Tacoma Public Schools to understand our needs as well as to grasp the going rate for stadium rentals in greater Puget Sound. We were led to believe by the district athletic and community partnership offices that they both valued a partnership with us and understood our limitations and were going to work with us to adjust a rental rate appropriate for this region. Unfortunately, we have no agreement and must move on.”

The company also revealed the results of the first annual Korrio Youth Soccer Leadership Survey. The results? “Survey findings reveal that essential volunteer workload is at an all-time high during a time that volunteer commitment is waning. Concurrently, parental commitment to their children’s soccer teams is stronger than it has been in years, and youth soccer leaders indicate that good sportsmanship on the fields and appropriate parent behavior on the sideline has never been better.”

These Chinese knots folk art flower fairy circle charming usually dwell upon good fortune, longevity and happiness. In choosing such topics, they cater to the different needs of a varied demographic, suggests a retailer at one of Beijing’s markets. Chinese people love the color red because it represents bright future and prosperity. Chinese people can settle down to their lively new year celebrations. Yet having said that, they still have to pay attention to avoid certain taboos, otherwise all their previous work will have been in vain. Therefore, if you’re not very familiar with Chinese traditions but currently live here, you should pay special attention to the tradition.
