You from holding Medicare -- of the holding the Romney campaign a ransom.

Peter Crowley all sitting off the website Romney Ryan dot com.

He -- this -- dozens of other possible political companies -- the vote again billion.

Really got going how Smart business guy now he's looking -- and -- tell me how you about.

When -- this is fascinating.

I know happy to be here.

What was back in 2010 -- was around the time of the health care summit the White House health care summit.

And I heard.

Paul Ryan speak and I thought the time he seems like.

He would be a future.

Presidential or vice presidential candidate.

I was between jobs at the time and trying to think of a way to get rich quick.

And I've read about people profiting off so domain names.

So -- -- -- -- as well go for and you know hopefully get lucky and get the right combination.

So you view -- -- a bunch of the bright with a bunch of friends & Associates right so how many did you submit and pay for -- And I'd like to tell you I knew all along was going to be Romney's staff went but -- I was about seventy or so total.

You know been guesswork and educated guess -- how do you have a I would say that again now.

There's about seventy -- don't have an exact number okay all all types of content 120 dollars are all types accommodates different.

And so how much did you did each cost you.

Between seven and eight dollars a year.

And now coming my -- of non annuity.

Ryan won worth now.

Well that'll be determined by whatever somebody's willing to pay right now it's up for option that I started a bit 5000.

I've had private offers via email.

I'm not from the campaign just individuals.

I had a 3000 dollar offering a 5000 dollar offer -- decided just let the free market decide induction enough.

On who wanted it what is it Romney Brian dot com is that what it is.

Yeah okay.

And did you tell us -- those who -- submitted offers are today.

From political action committees or in -- is rich individuals or any individual what.

As far as I know they're not associated with any type of political action committee -- either candidate I believe -- just individuals.

I thought initially all along that I would eventually be contacted by the campaign should I have one of the combinations that.

Came to fruition.

May -- what I exerted little but I you know I know I don't know -- on -- could be one of these folks.

This and again and it is not saying.

It could be but I don't know why the campaign wouldn't come forward.

I'd be have to sign a nondisclosure agreement if they're scared of the price getting out or something like that.

But my hope thought all along was I would eventually be contacted by a campaign and -- surprised when I wasn't.

I'm so rise -- it here I had thousand dollars as the start in good right you've got less than that.

I would think this could go for substantially more than that because they don't settle list they can't use Romney Ryan dot com and that's not -- -- Considering the amount of money that they spend on TV ads and your last -- I think the number mention was a billion dollars combined on TV ads.

You know this seems like you should get at least -- president thank you get half a billion of at the -- -- But I -- pay for all these domain name do you came up with then pursued -- on the campaign how much of that costs.

It's been a total of about 720 dollars realist so as an investment I wouldn't recommend doing it because I was close to losing.

I think a lackluster losing -- -- -- to gaining but.

You know -- turned out all right for me but a lot of people have tried the same thing and a lot of money was lost when -- -- -- down of say -- a lot of people invested in FaceBook and they much would have rather would have gone you're right.

But in the face program you're very very Smart young man.

Everyone -- listening to the next election -- Finished.

Yet imagine so I -- since I have the senate decided to use it.

I initially made a joke about Mitt Romney's tax returns being released.

And -- we see some interviews regarding that.

And one of the interviewers asked me who I was voting for this next election and -- I'm planning on voting for Ron Paul.

So since then many Ron Paul supporters have contacted me asking me to -- the site towards doctor Paul's campaign.

So -- and still auction it off as long as I have it I'm happy to try to promote.

Doctor -- and his views aren't what the role of federal government should be Peter just on the closely Peter are probably.

Certainly -- -- -- good entrepreneur in his own right well.
