I don’t know if they do or don’t, but Fred put out a video message today asking for contributions to help him in Iowa. An email I received around noon said he’d raised 50k and they wanted to reach 100k today.
I’ve contributed more and I hope others can, too. Say what you want about the RP supporters, but their forum is full of people who have sacrificed to send their man money. It would be a shame to lose a fine candidate like Fred because the cash ran out too soon.
Candidates always have to ask for money. Most of the others have been running since the elections were over, in 2006, so they had plenty stockpiled. Since Fred got in, he’s had to work hard for what he’s gotten. As soon as Fred is done in Iowa, he has to start running hard for South Carolina. I signed up to give a monthly donation a couple of months ago. I’ve never done that for any candidate before!
