Do you know for a fact that the rather vague statement in the sales pitch refers to the buyers independent expenditure? That's not at all clear to me, in fact based on their statement that the contributions revert to the Republican Party if Paul is aware of the effort, I'd assume they're financial contributions. A portion of my purchase price could revert to the GOP, your gasoline and time can't. And if not reported, there's no basis for reversion.
How is the company organized? If a corporation, not worth my time to look, I don't believe they can make independent expenditures.
I can see a lot of potential problems here, including the question of whether this company is taking deposits and/or selling securities. I presume they've dotted their i's and crossed their t's
The idea is if I spend my own money to produce a bunch of Rudy Giuliani (slap me!) yard signs, and sell them or give them away to other people, without being directed by or coordinated with the campaign, then I am, in fact, promoting the candidacy of the gun grabber but I do not have to count that expenditure towards my $2,300 individual campaign contribution limit.
Same idea with having Ron Paul’s image on these pieces of copper, silver, and gold bullion. It’s promoting his candidacy, but since it’s not coordinated with or orchestrated by his campaign, it does not fall under the $2,300 individual contribution limit.
