Liberty for All Super PAC prepares major ad blitz to support Massie in 4th District race

05/08/2012 05:55 PM

The founder of the libertarian-leaning group Liberty for All Super PAC that has gotten involved in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District race has pledged to do “whatever it takes to win the election” for GOP candidate Thomas Massie.

John Ramsey, who created the Super PAC in his hometown of Texas and has since opened an office in Bellevue, Ky., told Pure Politics that the organization will open up a call center to contact GOP voters, as well as direct mail and TV adsi (3:10 of the interview.)

PAC leader say the organization is prepared to spend as much as $600,000 in the Republican primary for the 4th Congressional District, which includes seven candidates. That would be a huge investment considering the leading fund-raiser in the race, Boone County Judge-Executive Gary Moore, collected about a quarter of a million dollars in the first three months of the race.

Ramsey talked about the philosophy and approach of the Liberty for All Super PAC (0:15) and why and how the organization picked Massie, the Lewis County judge-executive. That starts at 2:00 of the interview:

Ramsey is listed as a student on FEC documents. But he works for his family’s successful real estate and investment business in Texas. Ramsey put up the initial start-up cash for the PAC earlier this year. In addition to Massie, the organization has announced support for GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul. But Ramsey said it plans to get involved on behalf of candidates of other parties because the group is philosophy-driven and not tied to the Republican Party.

Super PACs can raise and spend unlimited money in an election on behalf of or against candidates. But, by law, they cannot coordinate with candidates’ campaigns.

    If this guy is sincere,then it’s a shame that they have not done their research on Massie, who isn’t at all what he pretends to be. Isn’t a job creator, makes minor cuts and then spends like a drunken sailor.

    Who doesn’t like liberty?

    It’s about time we had a “PAC of the people” advocating for limited and fiscally conservative government… and LIBERTY, as opposed to PACs funded by the banks that were bailed out by our elected officials because they’re too big to fail. Thanks to Mr. Ramsey for getting this started.

    Thomas Massie has the overwhelming support of the various liberty organizations in Kentucky as well as the TEA party. There are liberty and constitutional government organizations that don’t endorse candidates because they have 501c status with the IRS, but all of the members of those organizations that I’ve met are 100% behind Thomas Massie. There is a great desire for him to represent us in DC, exactly as he’s represented the people of Lewis County.

    You can tell Thomas is winning because the career politicians and their insider associates have started a vicious whisper campaign, either devoid of facts, or with outright lies. The “too kooky for Kentucky” campaign didn’t work against Rand Paul, and it’s not going to work against Thomas Massie. It reflects poorly on those who would spread such lies for political gain.

    Sarah, don’t fall for Gary Moore’s lies. CN2 already said his attacks are made up.

    This is amazing! Finally a PAC that represents the wishes of the people, not wealthy special interest groups. For Liberty!

    As a veteran, I can truly tell my fellow veterans that Thomas Massie
    will not forget the plight of the veterans as others have. I personally know Thomas…get out and vote May 22…you will be glad you did.

    Unlike Alecia who is supported by establishment republican after establishment republican, Thomas Massie is supported by the Liberty for All Super PAC. This is a PAC that represents the people and their voice. Liberty for All Super PAC is a voice for freedom, and does not conform to the ideas of established Republicans. It is pretty clear to see that nothing is changing in Washington so why elect someone who is just like everyone there? Thomas Massie is a candidate that will actually listen to the people and support the constitution.
