Perry Campaign Broke
Rick Perry has no money to pay staffers and workers are all volunteering.
According to the Washington Post, fundraising dollars ran out last week, prompting some overly optimistic staffers to convert to a volunteer basis.
Perry, who has struggled to gain traction in his second presidential run, has stopped paying his staff at the national headquarters in Austin as well as in the early caucus and primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, according to a Republican familiar with the Perry campaign who demanded anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
Perry campaign manager Jeff Miller told staff last Friday, the day after the first Republican presidential debate, that they would no longer be paid and are free to look for other jobs — and, so far at least, most aides have stuck with Perry — according to this Republican.

I heard he used all the campaign donations to pay his lawyers for the upcoming trial.
What a country…get indicted, run for office and pay off your attorneys with the campaign contributions…our Founding Fathers would move to Canada if they were alive today.

Can he legally do that?
Hirightnow August 11th, 2015 at 12:22
With enough lawyers, anything is possible…

Absolutely…..!!!

In February, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie got permission to use leftover campaign funds to pay for the legal bills incurred for the investigation into his decision to close the George Washington Bridge.

OK, this is just as crazy…Perry could have had the taxpayers of Texas pick up the tab but campaign finance laws (or lack thereof) allow him to use funds from an election campaign…so in essence, those donating to Perry were merely paying his legal bills for him…the whole thing is too much to believe.

But I thought Perry’s campaign was “God’s will”?

The Koch’s must have got a new burner phone and didn’t give poor Rick the number.
