Funding Campaign 2008

Buy Back Your Vote !!!

People often ask me, "just who is paying for my campaign?"
In the 1996 and 2000, the Ronald Gascon
"John Galt jr." for President Campaign"did not accept funds
from any outside sources, except the occasional change left
at the info desk jar at various festivals. That is to say that I
personally paid for everything to support both campaigns.

Both campaigns total costs were less than $2000,

Although I have refused financial donations in the past,
I now feel that if we are to face the problems facing this country,
that I do need a little help from those who understand
that message is that things are very wrong and
we must change things.

In 2004, I asked supporters to each send me a $2 bill
as a sign of faith and hope.
Some people accused me of a running a get rich quick scheme.
I have to wonder how they feel about $10,000 a plate dinners?

For the Record I collected 57 two dollar bills...
$114 and I still have most of them.
Yet I am sure that my message has been presented to a least a
Million People, likely more.

Corporate America has been buying Congress and both major
parties with millions of dollars for decades. They have bought
and paid for the laws they need.

The Republicrats Spent a Billion dollars on the 2004 campaign
for President! $2000 dollar a seat speeches,
$10,000 a plate dinners, hundreds of thousands in corporate
sponsorships, hard money soft money any money will do...
Hillary Clinton, and Obama are each raising 50 million dollars
a month and ten other candidates have already
raised millions of dollars each.. Where will it end? Considering
the election is still so far off, with another 4 years of deficit
spending to finance the war on terrorism, which will most likely
go down in history as World War III.

You know this Campaign money isn't coming from average
people, but the rich and corporate elite and that is exactly
who the Republicrats will continue to represent when elected.

So I ask very little.
By being penny wise and efficient I think I can put on a campaign
for as little as $1,000 if I have to, and along the way return
the power to we the people.

When first envisioned, this campaign was never planned
to travel beyond the internet, so It will continue as presented
for only $12 a month, that I can afford to do by myself,
but I am being asked to make more appearances this year
and we know where gas prices are and where they are going.
So I am also raising the upper end donation from $50 to $500

The Funding of Campaign 2008

Cash Donations
Sponsor Bumper stickers

Knowing that the "campaign " has goals of voter registration
and issue packed information for informed voting, you know
your money will be well used.

I figure that we need roughly 60 million people to pull off a
complete upset election. We all know that only thing that travels
faster than the word of mouth is email. So if everybody who
takes this seriously, emails or tells others about it, we should
be well on the way to spreading the word.

As soon as you start asking for donations
people start asking questions like ,

Why should I give you money to waste on a losing campaign?

and "What are you going to do with the money?"

To most people including myself that sounds like a lot of people,
but 60 million extra people voting would fundamentally
change the face of politics in this country
I think that at least 40% of the population
agrees with my positions, We can do this and we can change
the direction of this country if we are willing to put in a little work.
