FMNN recently reported that the upcoming November 5 2007 Ron Paul “money bomb” had only received about 10,000 formal pledges out of the 100,000 it needed (see related story). But supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-Tex) apparently believe that resourcefulness will trump any temporary lack of funds. In fact, FMNN feedbacker Parke emphasizes that backers of the presidential race's only Jeffersonian conservative are increasingly turning to EBay and putting items up for sale with the tag “RP08.” Writes Parke: “I’m giving everything I can afford. If you search RP08 on eBay you will find other supporters donating goods for sale for Nov. 5th. Our MeetUp members have mostly agreed too. Though many haven’t signed up. MeetUp is proving to be incredible for this campaign. I’d encourage any MeetUp member to spread the word to other members! Time to take America BACK!"
Parke reported the following on RonPaulForums.com: “I just listed some Paul Frank bedding sets, bathroom decor and a clock. Check it out and bid! No reserve at all! …. I’m going to donate the money raised November 5th!”
Over at DailyPaul.com, Shepardh1 informed viewers back on October 19th that the eBay code for such eBay Ron Paul donations was RP08. He wrote: “So, let’s clear out our garages and such and sell our extra stuff on eBay and donate the proceeds to the cause. When you list something on eBay, include RP08 in the subject line so that we can all browse our supporter's stuff.... for example, I just listed a Robbie Raccoon, but if you search for RP08 in eBay... it comes up... Great way to raise our $12-mil for the quarter!"
