Last I heard Mitt had not endorsed Ron for president. The Ron Paul organization has rerouted every thing under to the sun to their pages all perfectly legal as far as I can see.
A tax on registrations or other low cost mechanisms are not going to

that we could see the kind of overhead found in trademarks taking over domain
registrations.
