Help me (A Canadian) donate to Ron Paul on Dec 16th

    Is it true that only an American can donate to Ron Paul on Dec 16th? Or even sooner.

    I would like to give Dr Paul's campaign $100 on behalf of my family and friends.

    I wish the donation sites thought about the rest of the world that wants to elect him. They could be missing lots of funding.

    or, maybe its not allowed. Anyone know?

    Thanks for your help. Go Ron Paul, Canada loves you.

    I believe that would be illegal.

    Why would that be illegal? If I have to drive down to a Bank in Washington State I will do it. I will be proud to put a Benjamin in a donation box but I don't know how the U.S. system works.

    Canadians understand that a vote for Paul is a vote for keeping Canada sovereign. We already have too much influence of the American way of life such as the failed drug war. There is a DEA center here in Vancouver.

    Could always donate to a grass roots branch of the campaign I would imagine. I honestly do not know though.

    It's illegal. If you're in Canada, there are several MeetUp groups there. You could look at joining one, and contributing to the group expenses, as they do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal Elections Committee.

    http://ronpaul.meetup.com

    And yes, a lot of people around the world would like to see Ron Paul elected.

    Yeah, I wasn't too sure, but I remember these was an issue with Al Gore collected campaign contributions in China in 1999.

    Sure you can. If you buy a Canada Post money order in US dollars and mail it to Ron Paul campaign anonymously no one will know that you are Canadian

    By the way, with all the anti-opposition legislation, I don't know why anyone would want to make traceable credit card donations to Ron Paul. If you must do it under your name, it's safer to donate to a mainstream candidate

    I suppose you could give your 100 to an American and he could donate it on your behalf. You gotta make sure you give it to the right guy though.

    I nominate Guerrila lol ><

    Sorry, I'm maxed out. And it's illegal. Contact your local meetup through http://ronpaul.meetup.com and ask how you can help.

    Great work. I've seen some photos from the Vancouver MeetUp. It's very cool you guys are involved.

    http://ronpaul.meetup.com

    Free to join, find a group in your area, the bigger the better, and find out when they are doing something next. They will be able to answer any questions you have, or direct you where you can get better answers.

    It is illegal but i'm sure you can get an RP supporter to filter the cash, it should not be hard, they want him to win so bad.

    You'd be throwing your money away.. My suggestion would be to give that 100 bucks to some food pantry, or homeless shelter.. The money would be better spent elsewhere..

    Ron Paul makes like 4, or is it 8, no, wait.. ah, er.. 15 million, no Billion a day.. I doubt he needs your 100 bucks..

    $100 would go a long way to helping out some poor soles instead...
