We have the momentum. There are already hundreds of new donors every day.

Thousands of Americans want to donate for freedom. We just have to get out there and spread the message.

You don't have to spend any money. You just have to spend your time.

TRY NOT TO DILUTE DEC 16TH... MAKE IT BIGGER THAN NOV 5TH

If anyone is biting at the bit to donate to Ron Paul, I hope they will reconsider and hold back until Dec 16th.... He doesnt need the money right now (or it would be a different matter) and we want to pull in $10 Million that day... it will all still go into the fourth quarter but make history again....
SAVE SAVE SAVE UNTIL DEC 16TH AND THEN BOMB!!!!!!! THE TEA PARTY FOR RON PAUL

On track to raising $16,000,000.00 this 4th quarter!

Folks...before today is over, we will have raised over $8,100,000.00.
We still have 3 more days until this quarter is half over.

We still have a big Money Bomb scheduled for December 16th, commemorating the Boston Tea Party.
Our greatest competition that day will be Sunday NFL Football.

We must shout from the rooftops to "Take 5"--leave your TV's and donate $100 quick!

God Bless Ron Paul!

FEC and What More You Can Do

Liberty Oak Ranch
You absolutely can, and millions have, spent money doing independent campaign organization and events WITH ABSOLUTELY NO DONOR CEILING!

How do you think millions are spent on all these fly overs, sign construction and block walking?

Under the new guidelines innacted in January 2007 you are obligated to report any "in kind" donation over $500, whether it be signs made or any money spent on ads etc. And there is no expense ceiling. However, since this is the first time that laws requiring individuals to file has been innacted, no one knows how the heck the FEC is going to follow around a massive movement and regulate them.

What more can we do? You can write a check to your friends, family and neighbors and they can turn around and donate the max in their name to the official campaign. But, the best thing is that we can work locally and spend more money very efficiently.

Tell Your Friends

Hey,
For all the rich people out there who have maxed out could you buy some ad space in your local papers to raise awareness. Can some of you graphic artists make some cool copy and post it for download. We are all one body with diffrent parts working toward the goal. Lets take back our goverment!

Wrong

If you've maxxed out, you can't independently buy advertising. Such an expenditure counts toward your cap for supporting a candidate.

Be careful giving recommendations like this if you don't have a good understanding of campaign finance law.

Sorry

Sorry my bad. Did not know.

No you can't

That is strictly illegal. You can not give money to other people so they can donate in their name as a way to get around your $2300 limit.

YEAH, RIGHT, WHO'S GONNA KEEP TRACK....

oH, I would never do anything illegal, but then again, its WAR....

Guys get pumped for dec 16th

Guys get pumped for dec 16th we need to do it again and lets all try to beat what we donated last time and do the best we can. I know we're all poor here but this will be by far the most important thing in our lives.. Everyone who donated before need to donate again.

RP has endorsed Dec 16

A consensus in the community seems apparent. Dec 16 Boston Tea Party is the next big fundraiser. You can see video of Ron Paul endorsing this plan here:

Pass it along!

Is there any meetup group organizing foreign aid?

I am going to chip in some bucks at the Ron Paul Audio website once I fix my Paypal account. This is a great way to contribute for foreigners like me since it's not legal to contribute directly.

I wonder if there is any meetup group coordinating an international chip in day, Ron Paul is a worldwide phenomenon. That would be fantastic.

Something like -Remember the 6th of December-:

December 6, 1996
"Irrational exuberance and unduly escalating stock prices. These seven simple words describing the stock market in a speech by the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, sent markets around the world into a sharp downward spiral."

PD: Actually, Greenspan's speech took place on the 5th of December, it affected markets the next day.

Foreign Donations

Liberty Oak Ranch

ANYONE can give to an individual as a gift. No one can restrict a friend from giving to another friend. And it is up to the reciever to decide what to do with it. They can donate it as long as they are a US citizen and over the age of 18. They don't even have to be registered to vote.

The only entity that cannot solicit donations from foreign citizenry is the official Ron Paul campaign. We are not the official campaign.

I understand all the people from foreign countries wanting to help. They feel that their country could be the next conquest for the Neocon Empire strikes. I feel for them and they should be included in this.

We, the people, can do what ever the heck we want with our money. It is called freedom! Use it or loose it and stop being so damn afraid of the stinking feds.

Ugh...ILLEGAL! Be CAREFUL

Soliciting foreign donations is illegal. I know you think you're getting around the law by funneling them through a citizen, but you're not.

Be careful! They will look for any reason to malign the campaign.

Does anyone know

Does anyone know what the exact numbers were before we started the Nov.11th drive?

"The Price Of Freedom Is Eternal Vigilance."
Thomas Jefferson

We used this number

Last night, we used this number captured from the screen at midnight, Nov 11 at 12:00 AM ET

$7,823,646

I can't promise you this is exactly accurate, but it is what appeared on the ticker at midnight.

Just as important

as every dollar raised, is where those dollars are coming from...We the People.

Thousands of Americans who want our country to return to it's roots, the roots that were planted over 230 years ago and that took hold to make us the greatest country on this earth.

And so many Americans can see that greatness slipping away, that's why the numbers of those donating are just as important as the dollars, because they tell a much greater story...a story of what our founders intended us to be...free from government tyranny and oppression.

This is why the Ron Paul message continues to grow and resonate across this land, it's the message of our founders...freedom and liberty.

Delete the dupe.

Delete the dupe.

Happy veterans day, Dr. Paul!

Over $8 million for the quarter. Thank you to all the contributors on this day.

Now if December 16 can just match November 5, we can exceed the $12 million goal for the quarter.

Of course, I'm hoping we'll do more than "just match".

DONT FORGET 7 TO 8 PM EASTERN TIME IS $10 STRESS TEST

Hope everyone saved *$10* only for the 7 to 8 pm EASTERN time stress test.... Ron Paul's people say their server should be able to handle the most donations ever in history in one hour....
MORE NEWS FOR MONDAY MORNING - RON PAUL GETS MORE DONATIONS IN ONE HOUR THAN ANYONE IN HISTORY....

8 Million!

Whoo hoo! I just got to see it roll past 8m. I wish I could have afforded to donate today, but that check George Soros promised me didn't show;)

Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah !!!!!!!!! over 8 millions !!!!!!!!!!!! Great job ............

about 200 bucks left until 8

about 200 bucks left until 8 million

Never thought

I never thought in a million years I would be happy giving away my money to a political candidate and be smiling about it. This is so out of character. hee,hee

Importance of Grassroots Fundraising - Picking up the Yoke!

We all heard Dr. Paul say the other day how the grassroots supporters are taking the fundraising into their own hands ( and boy isn't that TRUE! - great job WE are doing!). Dr. Paul also went on to say that he has NEVER had to pick up the phone and ask for any DONATIONS!.

Imagine how the other candidates must have hours consumed each day schmoozing and begging for bucks EACH day! No wonder they are NOT current on events, blow key talking points because they CAN'T stay up with the NEWS, flub debate lines and just plain do NOT know the things they need to know to be effective in a debate / interview. They are stuck with regurjatating their handlers force fed talking points just before air time and after spilling their limited "sound bite" knowledge they are TOAST and are forced back to a Hillary-like double-talk response.

I suspect that Dr. Paul does have time to keep current on both Congressional matters and presidential campaign news more so than the rest of the pack because we are lifting a burden from him. So please don't forget that when we are called upon to donate that the fine answers Dr. Paul gives at these interviews and debates don't come easy and yes, even with RP's great background in the theory of government and finance - what he says on the campaign trail requires SOME amount of study, rehersal and practice.

We can give him that quiet time (with the wife too I hope) to keep up with the ammunition he needs to spearhead the battle. Good JOB everyone! Can't wait for the TEA PARTY!

Radical

The camp still needs money anytime it can get it.

But those who need to save to give dont feel guilt. All we can do is our best. If you must feed you family first do it. Lets give what we can when we can and lets bomb on the 16th big time!

I never gave to a candidate befor nov 5th and I gave 2x $125 on that day.

I gave $100 today and I hope I can more then all of that together on dec 16.

If u cant give just spred the word to your friends, ten new people giving $10 each is a powerful statement.

U are america's future! If he does'nt win we still made a statement. WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE DUMB AND SILENT ANY LONGER. Taxes caused civil war in Isreal after Solomons reign. Maybe this is the time we stand up and say we will not take it any longer. Though most of us lothe politics we may need to join both parties in mass on local levels and wrestle the control from local officials. In most places only 100 or so people controll these groups and we can take over in off year elections.

We need 535 ron paul's in congress!!!

I love your idea!

You are so right! We need our people (Ron Paul people) to get involved in politics and take it as far as they can! I've been to republican party meetings where everyone was supporting Fred Thompson. What a downer! I've also been to republican party meetings where everyone was for Fred Thompson and one person was for Duncan Hunter. I felt a little better. And I've been to republican party meetings where everyone was for Fred Thompson, one other person was for Ron Paul, and one person was sympathetic toward Ron Paul. What a blessing! But just think how awesome it would be to go to a republican party meeting and have 50 or 100 people all for Ron Paul! Man, I would love that! That would make an incredibly positive impact for Ron Paul. Those republican party people vote and if they saw that much support for Ron Paul it would really make an impression! Remember, in politics perception is everything!

Unfortunately I cannot

Unfortunately I cannot donate as much as I did on the 5th- It's too bad that this day wasn't the first one.. It would've been much better to break a record on Veterans Day instead of a day linked to a 17th century terrorist - which certainly didn't help his exposure.

I can just picture people who saw the reports thinking "man, what a bunch of whackos".. and being turned off from looking into Ron Paul.. instead of linking him to Veterans Day, which could've doubled the effect, with people looking into him on top of pulling in record donations.

Tea Party though - we get our bonuses around then.. so I'm going all out on that one!

I disagree, in politics early money is better.

We've had great publicity, and even if this is too-soon between paychecks for us to break records again, we're still better off with more money earlier. Especially considering inflation. I mean, who the hell KNOWS what the dollar will be worth in the short-term OR long-term future?

And is anyone-else excited about the upcoming arrival of the copper Liberty Ron Paul dollars? I can't WAIT!!!! 60K of them sold-out, and I'm getting 400! Yay!!
JMR

No man - there's more

No man - there's more important things than money.. like expanding awareness of Dr. Paul. Besides, one week won't matter all that much inflation-wise.......

but again- they'll spin this effectively to push people away for Ron Paul... it was a tactically faulty move. Veterans Day would've been a much better day for the first "money bomb"..

http://youtube.com/watch?v=3Rc4OJWH1nE

but it's late anyway.. just things to keep in mind as we go forward- don't give them an inch!

Coppers

Yes, I'm really excited too. I'm going to get out my jewelry saw to modify 2 of them and make some earrings--that ought to generate some questions:)

That's cool

The ingenuity of the Americans can never be stopped. Stymied perhaps, but never stopped.

reach 8 million

I think reach 8 million in the next hour. The graph chart said we were averaging about $10,000 an hour. Butta Boom Butta Bing! hee,hee

It's a means to keep the forum active so when somebody replies or posts a "bump", it keeps the forum topic at the top of the list (or thereabouts).

Wish someone would BUMP and tell me what time is the $10 donatio

How about some *nice* person bump and tell me what friggin time is the hour for the $10 donation - i heard 7 to 8 pm..... EASTERN

I agree with chill

I didn't expect that this would get any media attention. I donated today as a salute to our military who died, injured or still overseas. I have been pacing my contributions and giving what I can when I can. This event was so soon after the Nov. 5 I am very pleased that we have done this well. I think it would be great if we can make it to 8 million that would be a mental boost with 4 million to go till the first of the year. I have to admit I love to see that thing spin and spin and spin. It kind of reminds me of one of those things in a casino or when you pump your gas. Round and round it goes where it stops no body knows.

Chill, people

I just don't get comments like VicDeHaven's. I doubt the good doctor is going to complain that this money bomb that this money bomb *only* raised 200K-400K. No, he's probably going to thank supporters for what will likely end up being his 2nd or 3rd best fundraising day of the entire campaign.

If you can't participate, then don't. It's about freedom. The campaign hasn't exactly tried to control and dictate the activities of the grassroots, so neither should we try to dictate the activities of each other.

If you can participate and want to join in raising good funds for the doctor on a noteworthy date, then do so. If you can't, then don't, but wish those of us who are well. No one is asking anyone to tap into their wallet when they can't. In fact, the consistent theme from the campaign would be that we trust each other to have common sense and be responsible for judging whether we can participate in this or that fundraising activity.

Yes, today won't probably earn the type of media coverage that Monday did. But not everything is about that. Remember all the activities everyone was doing before the media started taking notice. Were they without value because they weren't earning the campaign free media coverage? Of course not. They are what helped give the campaign the momentum and exposure on the grass roots level that made November 5th possible.

And a day like today might not make the news, but it may go a long way at maintaining momentum and helping the campaign meet the 12 million goal.

The campaign can't get enough money or soon enough. This is an incredibly compressed primary season.

If you can't participate today, then just do the prudent thing and just tip your hat to the rest of us and wish us the best.
