Pledge “us-patriot-drive”

"I will donate $1,000 to Ron Paul campaign but only if 10,000 other people will do the same, not a $penny$ sooner."

— Mark Bednarczyk, Syracuse, NY meetup group 210 (contact)

Deadline to sign up by: 31^st December 2007
84 people signed up, 9916 more were needed

Country: United States

More details
This is a very realistic goal that will virtually ensure Ron Paul republican nomination and then on to presidency.

10,000 donors of $1,000 each will generate additional $10,000,0000 for the campaign.

!!!No commitment until we reach our goal!!! - that is the ultimate power of a pledge.

This is the most amount of money any republican candidate can hope to raise (looking at what GOP front runners can bring in). Remember this is in addition what the campaign can raise on its own.

I understand that this is a lot of money, therefore I don't expect people to just drop $1,000 on the spot before the goal is reached. This pledge has no obligation to contribute before the goal is reached, what so ever! But by signing up, if we do not reach our goal !!!you risk nothing!!!, and if we do, your $1,000 donation will virtually guarantee that Ron Paul has enough money to take the GOP nomination to go on, and be the most honest president in our lifetimes. There will be absolutely no doubt that your $1,000 contribution, once we reach 10,000 donors, will make **unimaginable** difference, therefore make it that much easier to plop down a $grand$.

In addition, I will make sure that everyone of the donors receives a certificate of patriotism. This certificate will have a special, unbreakable authenticity code printed on it. These will be the only authentic certificates, period, and who knows, someday may carry as much value as prominent awards, all for going way above and beyond for the benefit of United States Of America, the greatest nation on Earth!

The only thing left is to go out and get the pledges, !!!no commitment!!! until we reach our goal of 10,000 donors. Thats the power of a pledge, you sacrifice only when you know it will make **the** difference.

Lastly the pledge is only for contributions made at official Ron Paul campaign website http://ronpaul2008.com. You can also mail in your check/money order to the campaign. Please do not include in your pledge donations not made directly to the campaign, such as purchasing marketing material to your local meetup, ads, signs, etc. This pledge is about hard cash to the campaign that will make the MSM (Main Stream Media) take notice, that we the people hold the power over our own destiny and country. God bless you all.

Comments on this pledge

• Remember that this pledge is not trying to take money away from campaign, by refraining donors from making other contributions to the campaign until the goal is reached. So whatever amount you wanted to donate to the campaign, please do so. I think this pledge, is something way more and beyond what average person is willing to donate, so remember that by pledging here (and for some donating a second time) you are guaranteed that this pledge will make the ultimate difference.
  
  Forward this pledge to your friends!

• This is a great goal. I think we can get ten thousand people to step up, especially since I know we can find that many die-hard supporters. Let's win this election! Let's prove to the world that freedom is popular. Let's concentrate upon the positive aspects of making it happen and quickly.
  
  Way to go Mark!

• I'm working YouTube advertisements of this pledge. This should generate enough exposure to get us going over next few months to reach our 10,000 goal.

• This is an amazing Idea, I am currently in a race myself for State Representative here in Milford CT the $1,000.00 is pretty steep as I am struggling in my own campaign.
  
  At the moment I am doing the next best thing and that is going door to door in my entire district to promote my campaign in addition to Ron Paul's. I am also offering my commercial Milford location as a base of operations for the 08 election.
  
  I desperately need volunteers to help Ron Paul, I believe that I am in a position to make a strong impact in Milford. I just need the people and volunteers. Please contact me and offer your help.
  
  I already promote Ron Paul on Myspace, and at my website. www.rfrank118.com
  
  Someone in Milford or nearby please contact me to get the ball rolling in advance of this primary.

• When you think of the pay-off this is cheap for those that can. Sooner the better! Keep contributing to campaign no matter what. Way behind schedule!

• I have another idea. Let's also have a $2,300 DONATION CLUB. We could not only have certificates but T shirts and Hats and whatnot saying something like "RON PAUL'S $2,300 CLUB" or " RON PAUL'S MAXIMUM DONATION CLUB" or somesuch. I have given about $1,300 so far so the $1,000 pledge will put me at the maximum donation possible.

• Great pledge, Mark! Keep circulating it and getting more folks involved! Note that there is now a Facebook application ("Pledges") offered on the site, so if you're on Facebook you can share your pledge that way. And be sure to use the email-a-friend feature -- it's a great way let your friends know what you're doing. Keep up the good work!
