The economy is hurting our cause

The GREAT news is, we have a good handful of liberty candidates running for seats. The BAD news is, the big $$ is more than ever in the hands of big business. These money bombs are exciting, but I'm not sure if any I've tracked recently have hit their one-day target. It's getting more difficult for me to give to these candidates.

We need to find more donors....
talk to your friends, your family, your co-workers and spread the message and ask of them that they spread the message also and we may see that we have more resources than we previously had imagined....
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.”
– Patrick Henry, speech to the Virginia Convention
“The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had." - Eric Schmidt
No we need to support fewer and better candidates...
no offense to anyone.
When we raised 6 million
for Dr. Paul on Dec 16, we were already technically in recession. The movement is growing by leaps and bounds every day so more money is coming in, but yes i'm starting to feel tapped out.

The following is from Rand Paul's Campaign Today
"...Thus far this quarter, we have raised $986,000. At this time, when appearances count for so much, it would be an incredibly powerful message if we could pass $1,000,000 for the quarter. This would finally send a message to the establishment Republicans that our candidacy is real, that it must be taken seriously and that their hand-picked candidate will not waltz to the nomination.
Will you please help me today to push me over the $1,000,000 mark for the quarter? When the ticker on www.randpaul2010.com passes $1,112,000, we will have crossed the mark for $1 million for the quarter. The quarter comes to a close tonight at midnight."
www.RandPaul2010.com - $1,121,368.00 as of this post.
THAT'S ONE MILLION FOR THE QUARTER ;-) suck on it establishment!

Ya, I agree. He hit the amount later than he hoped, but he got
there. His mini bomb was today. Adam had one too. I believe John Dennis had one today also. It adds up in a down economy. I believe the answer is recruit more people to our cause.
addendum:
In a big way, it's helping our cause as well. These candidates wouldn't have they leverage they have if our government's fiscal house was in order.
