I thank you. America thanks you!
Thanks Paperdoll. I agree that we need to put our money where our mouths are. If we are supporting Cain, we need to do more that be verbal about it.
He needs money to continue his fight and campaign successfully.
I am pinging my list of South Florida Freepers in case anyone wants to plan to attend this event with Herman Cain.
Wish I could attend, but will be heading home on the 12th.
I hope Florida Freepers will post appearances of the candidates on our Florida FR board so folks know about the events. I post there when I hear about various events for us Florida patriots. As always, if you want off my ping list please just let me know through FreepMail.
Here are details about event on the 16th:
Herman Cain is coming to South Florida on Wednesday Nov 16th

Paperdoll, you might want to check on this article from October 30th of this year from the Washington Times regarding Scott MacKenzie and Jordan Gerke who are running “Friends of Herman Cain, Inc.”.
The link is http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/oct/30/operatives-raise-cash-for-cain-themselves/print/ .
Apparently they have collected lots and lots of money from conservatives for several campaigns (usually conservative candidates WITHOUT a strong campaign organization) and spend most of it going to companies they control.
According to the article the candidate gets money, but not as much as they would if you donated directly to the candidate. This group does run direct mailings, etc., but they are not affiliated with Cain’s campaign directly.
IOW they funnel money to their own companies on behalf of the candidate while giving some money directly to the candidate, but NOT giving all of it directly TO the candidate (in this case Cain) for the candidate to decide how to spend it.
Just check it out and if you don’t mind, let me know what you think. The following is a direct quote from the article:
“Even if it runs effective vote-getting efforts, it will almost certainly provide a comfortable source of income for Mr. Gehrke, Mr. Mackenzie and the political contractors they hire. The fund, with a logo whose largest words are “Herman Cain for President” - the name of the official campaign - likely will raise money that would have gone to the campaign itself, including from donors who think they’re giving to it.”
All the sites (including the one with the address you listed) show “Paid for by Friends of Herman Cain.”
I would like to send him some money, but I want to send it DIRECTLY to HIM so he can decide where he needs it most.
