Please Help Keep the Daily Paul Alive

0 votes

Dear Friends,

The Daily Paul needs your help. The tremendous energy spawned by this the Ron Paul for President movement is dissipating and fracturing. Support for Dr. Paul fell off precipitously after the New Hampshire primary, and nearly collapsed after Ron Paul's ambiguous video in which he announced that it is time to move on to the next phase. Now everyone seems to be going off in their own direction.

However, there remains a need for a single, national gathering place of freedom supporters. The Daily Paul has served that purpose over the past year and a half, and will continue to do so in the future. It has been called "our national mailing list" by more than one supporter, and it remains the single most popular independent, dedicated Ron Paul site on the net today.

It may appear that the Daily Paul just runs itself - that it is always there, like water when you turn the tap on. However, a considerable amount of work goes into running the site. This is a huge database driven site like this isn't easy to run. Like a car or a piece of machinery, it needs constant attention. From a programming perspective, there is constant tweaking, tuning, etc. Then there is the troll patrol, and the daily torrent of email that never ends.

I have basically borne the costs of running the site myself. Back in the heyday, when advertising revenues were decent, I funneled those costs into hosting, paying programmers, and lots of donations, both to the official campaign and grassroots cuases. I maxed out both mine & my wife's donation limit to the campaign. But now with traffic down, advertising revenue is down, so I need your help to keep the site going.

If you're a regular reader, please help out with a donation of what you can. A little bit will go a long way in keeping this small patch of independent people's media on the air.

The paypal address is: bull {at} bullnotbull.com. B!NB is another little site that I run.

If you don't want to use PayPal, you can mail your donation to:

As a small token of my appreciation, I will send you some of these cool Ron Paul Restore the Republic stickers that I designed to try to help finance the site. Sadly, they're just not selling.

Thank you all very, very much for your continued support, and for making the Daily Paul the rich and vibrant community that it is.

Thank you Michael

I too will send a donation.. You do a great job. This site is addictive. I agree with others on this site, a daily chart of donations and needs is a great idea. Remind us that this isn't free and it takes a lot of hard work.

No matter what our sacrifices it will never be equal to those of our military and their families. We should make this a better country for them to come home to.

I wonder if trolls donate?

There aren't many trolls

here imo.

Yes thank you Michael, a genuine public servant.

Could you please put some

Could you please put some sort of Ticker up with the donations you need? We love your site so much, it would give us an idea if you have been taken care of enough, so all of a sudden you just don't have to end the site.

Manystrom personally I have no problem

personally I have no problem chipping in and will do so next month...however, you would be wise to delete inflammatory threads that have no value to further Paul or the revolution..i.e Parent bashing threads really is people criminal records fodder fotr the Paul now-low standard-...you said you would...otherwise I like so many will say see ya!
