First, before anyone objects, this is not an endorsement … I just found this to be an interesting intersection of gaming and politics. On to the post …
They’re holding a fundraiser for Republican candidate Ron Paul, and using Master Chief to do it.
Three college roommates located somewhere in the Southeast (exact location undefined) play Halo 3 from noon to midnight, 7 days a week, and broadcast live. At the same time, there’s a big Ron Paul Donation logo on their site, to encourage people to donate to the struggling candidate.
The three roommates, known only as J, Danielle, and Mike have had 37,406 visitors at the time of this writing, and besides trolling for Ron Paul donations, are also trying to get donations toward a HD TV tuner card, so they’re not totally altruistic.
We Say: BTW, they do invite visitors to join at the end of each round, so if you’re interested, head over to their site. You can also email them at halothreetv@gmail.com.
Go Ron Paul!!
Well, I wouldn’t call Ron Paul a “struggling candidate”. Ron Paul has a real chance of winning and people are beginning to understand and accept the message of liberty. Anyone that is worried about the direction this nation is headed should fully support this man. He is the only candidate that will fight for real change.
Thanks for posting on this!
That’s awesome. Though, Ron Paul is not struggling.. He’s #3 in GOP donations and has a huge grassroots support base. Ron Paul was on Jay Leno last night (10-30-07) and completely rocked it! Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0KwY9Uzqtk
F.E.A.R Players for Ron Paul!!!!
