Next Money Bomb

Tell everyone: The next money bomb will be Dec. 31, 2007 - New Year's Eve. Visit the site for it here: http://donate2008.org/

There is also a possibility that the Ron Paul Blimp will be flying over Times Square in NYC on New Year's Eve! Imagine how many millions of people would see the blimp on their tv's if that happened!

Show email support to Tim Russert (RP on Meet the Press)!!

Ron Paul is going to be on Meet the Press next Sunday, Dec. 23.
We need to email Tim Russert and thank him for giving Ron Paul time. As far as I can tell, Tim Russert seems to be a true journalist, at least within the parameters he’s allowed to operate in. Don’t forget this is the reporter that asked both Bush and Kerry point blank about Skull & Bones. Yesterday on Meet the Press he took Romney apart like a watch. So expect some intelligent discussion next week.

We should all show him some support. He's invited the candidates:

I think the newscasters have to put up with a lot from their bosses. According to the following video, they have to either sell out, or get out. (Granted, Fox “News” is probably the worst.)

My donations didn't go through

We tried twice to danate for my wife and I but after filling everything in and submitting both came back with errors at about 10pm eastern. I wonder if that happened to many others? Perhaps the press releases should tout that it was a record and overwhelmed the servers.
What a day for freedom!

TIME To Demand Results from the Official Campaign

We gave the campaign $12mills to win the first 2 primaries/ per request. Now we need to demand that results. We gave them $6mills more and by the end of the quarter they will have wopin $20mills banked. Now start asking them to get the Media's attention for Paul, they have to write to individuals newspapers, knock on every media outlet daily to get Ron Paul story out, this views, tell America why him, demand him to be included in every poll (no matter they fake it). No more underdog crap. They need to act like he is a Front-runner which he is.

We have done more than requested on our part and now its there time to finish this. As we continue to plant the message of freedom in the heart of more Americans everyday. They need to take on the Big Media. BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!!

And we are with them to the end...

Ticker is wrong because...

The ticker above is wrong because it's the total prior to the campaign dumping the offline donations into the total. They switched to a new graphic when they did this, so the subsequent total is not included in the old graphic.

WHy??

Why is the ticker wrong . It should read 18,135.... or atleast on his website it reads that ???
Perky :)

Someone please SLASHDOT our success today!

Could a Slashdot veteran with a respected Slashdot reputation please create a post describing Ron Paul's internet savvy supporters and their phenomenal grassroots online campaign success?

Many intelligent, affluent, libertarian-oriented persons read http://www.Slashdot.com

Hope one of us with the necessary sophistication can pull this off.

Did the

campaign just dumped 400,000+ into the coffers just now?

STAY OFF THE RONPAUL2008 SERVER!

It has slowed to a crawl. If you are not going to donate, please don't go there.

Let Democrats wonder why Ron Paul beat Hillary's bogus $6.2 mill

Bob, can you go back and find your Prediction post, where everyone made their prediction?

Please post up there, and tell us who's predictions are looking like they may take it?

Thanks,

My old prediction

The server is so slow today that digging up my post isn't worth the trouble. But as I recall I guessed $6,499,999.99. That looks a little optimistic at this point.

$10.00 @ 10:00pm

Ok I know most of you have donated already but lets push for a small end of the day boost by participating in a $10.00 blast at 10:00pm.

Spread it far and spread it wide. $10.00 @ 10:00

Let's beat Hillary's record of $6 million in one day.

Urgent Email from John McCain


Did you folks get the same email that I got from Arizona Johnny McBush? After he saw how much money I was donating last night and today, he hit me up for a loan.

I, of course, declined to fulfill his request. I told him that I was just about busted and was saving what remained for the grand-finale, mini-bomb within a bomb during the last hour of our tea party. You guys, no doubt, gave him similar replies.

Yep, mini-bombs, nano-bombs, pico-bombs, even piconanomicromini-bombs are all set to go off from 11 PM to Midnight. Every little bang gives a lot for the buck. So, give it your all, folks. We must surpass $6.2 million to set the all time record, though it is in dispute.

Go get whatever you can dig up and put it in the cyberbin for freedom. Get others to give. If they don't have a credit card or cash, switch to the barter system. Accept chickens, pink sport coats, white carnations, blue suede shoes, mag wheels...whatever, and then donate for the person using your card and sell the stuff on Ebay before you get the credit card bill...er, ah...all except the chickens. Better check with the local market or better yet...let them cover your food bill. Oh, and if you are the squeamish type, contact a local neocon, they won't mind wringing their necks. It's close to waterboarding. Gives them the same kind of pleasure.

This is not negotiable, troops. Consider it an order. Carry on.

Don't wait for the last hour

I don't think it's a good idea to wait for the last hour. There might be a server meltdown and then your donation might not get in before midnight EST.

8PM EST Money NUKE!

Everybody dig deep and flood the TeaParty07.com and RonPaul2008.com with a money bomb within the bomb!

8PM EST, 5PM PST.

We have already broken the record we set on November 5th!

So far I have donated $100 today and have more ready to go in an hour. Mmmmm, Top Ramen.

Ding ding!

We just hit $16 million for the quarter and we're well past the $4.3 million dollar daily record of November 5.

Arizona Republic...

Today, there was no article in the Arizona Republic that mentioned Ron Paul.

Not one word on CNN or Fox, unless I missed it between the Obama reports, concerning today’s record-breaking day. You can call it MSM or the Liberal Media, but this is ridiculous. Are we really better off than China and how the media is controlled?

With McCain obtaining, somehow, endorsements recently, I believe by not mentioning a $4 million day for any presidential contender just strengthens this r3VOLution, but… only between us. No one has seen figures like this before, but still no coverage. The whole thing is rigged.

For this, and knowing everyone else has donated, I am asking the newly paid members of the Ron Paul campaign for immediate results. Maybe its just me, but paying other politicians to travel to Iowa and talk about Huckabee’s record is not an idea that adds people to this r3VOLution. Right now, and noticing what is on TV, why can’t money go to national infomercials? Why not? This campaign has a lot of firsts.

I hope everyone else puts added pressure on the Ron Paul’s campaign staff and requests the same results as I. There still has been no official response to the reason why ABC or CBS will not air Ron Paul interviews. If I was being paid by the Ron Paul campaign to sit and think of ideas, I personally know where my time would be spent.

CNN

Saw 2 minute coverage of Boston Tea Party and "Money Bomb" on CNN around 7 PM EST. They've shown supporters bracing the tough conditions of the snow storm in Boston to come out in numbers and march down the streets with signs. Also quickly shown Ron Paul's son. They said that the campaign reported to them that they hit $4.2 million. They should really check the website again.

OMG!!

almost 16 million already!

we can do it!!

My family just met Dr. Paul

My family just met Dr. Paul and totally made their day. They were so impressed with him down here in Freeport. It was a shock when he walked in. We were told he was coming, but everyone thought it was Ronnie Paul.
Sooo exciting. Gave a great speach.

4 MILLION and climbing!!! (5:11 PM EST)

The donation counter is going CRAZY!!! I haven't even donated yet! GO GO GO!!!

not yet but almost 4 million

almost

$3.5M passed now!

and still climbing...!

We passed $3 Million just after 1 PM CT!

We will certainly break our previous Nov. 5th 1-day online record... And at this pace, we could even break what's-her-name's 6.2M 1-day offline/combined (and disputed) record!

But be forewarded, that won't be easy. Current projections for the day put us "just" at $6 Million (which is amazing); but won't it be great to blow away ALL the records?

So don't forget to call every potential Ron Paul supporter you know. Encourage them to donate if they haven't already.

And if they have donated, ask them to look at the counter around 10 PM CT (11 PM ET)... If we are just a little shy of $6.2 Million for the day (that's $17.8 Million TOTAL) - then please consider digging just a little bit deeper into the bank account, and donate again.

The campaign is on the Eastern time zone, and will stop counting today's donations at Midnight ET (11pm CT, 10pm MT, 9pm WT). So please don't wait until the VERY LAST minute!

I've already donated $400 for the month, $300 just today - and I hereby pledge that if we are within a Million $ of breaking the all-time record, then I'll donate money I don't have (yet) and use my credit card! That's a promise.

Stay tuned! Keep a sharp eye on the totals...

Update: I just stumbled across this old post and thought I'd edit it to remark that I did in fact throw in an extra $100 in the last hour. Money I didn't actually "have" (I used a credit card) but I don't mind paying a bit of interest on it until I can actually get it paid off. Ron Paul is worth it!

Goals

The goal is to beat Nov 5. Any other goal was just people popping off. If we beat Nov 5 in a day, we have met our goal and are victorious. If we say our goal is any more than that, then the press will say we did not meat our goal because all kinds of people have set ridiculous goals and called it "the" goal.

Don't forget that headquarters or someone asked us to go ahead and donate and not wait until Dec 16 because they needed to spend the money before the primaries. And don't forget that the donations have gone way up over the $5mil we had on Nov 5. Before we even started collecting for today, we had doubled Nov 5, so we really reached our goal before we started even.

So I would quit saying our goal is $10m today. That is not realistic and no matter how low our goal is, people are going to donate just as much today to make it go as high as possible.

The point is number of supporters, feeling good about what we have accomplished and making sure the press reports it positively which is very, very hard to get them to do. So let them know if we get Nov 5 plus $1, we did really great.

It's a decentralized

It's a decentralized campaign, everyone is entitled to their own personal goal. We broke the official 4th quarter goal... the rest is just icing in my opinion. Like you said, if we make $1 over Nov 5th, that's another huge milestone.

5.9 Million unless the pace goes up

Not that 5.9 Million is bad. A full 24 hours at the rate we have is 7.5 Million, but most of the day is gone. Hopefully many people are at the rallies and have yet to donate, or the media coverage will pick up more donations.

Ron Paul on Meet The Press

Ron Paul is going on Meet the Press next Sunday. This is going to be great exposure, with my boy Timmy Russert.

How it works

I can see how we may reach our $10Million goal. Just like Nov 5th, our total donors will likely exceed the registered donors by two to one. Since we ended with over 30,000 on the Tea Party '07 donor list, we could easily end up with over 90,000 total donors. At $100 per donor, we can reach our goal. I for one have gotten two coworkers to contribute who were not on the list. And not only that, their solid Ron Paul voters. If we each get at least two new donors, we've got it.

Correction

Your math is off. On November 5 the total number of donors was about twice the number of signed up donors (38,000 donors of which 19,000 signed up). So we can hope for about 60,000 donors today, which would bring in about $6 millon.

New ticker

Wow, what a nice job they did on the new ticker, with the ability to see number of donors, etc.

Last time, it seems we did not have as many as 30,000 pledges but ended up with 37,000 donors. This time we do have 33,000 pledges so this is great!

The weather here is pretty bad, not sure what the trip to Boston would have been like.
