Feb 1 Money Bomb!

looks like there is a money bomb going on. I'm goign to drop $100.00

I'm by no means made of money, but what I have found to work for me is constant consistent contributions. Every 2 weeks I drop $50. I've cut spending of any none essentials, and it adds up fast. Like Dr. Paul has said, "As long as the support and contributions keep coming in he'll continue the fight. There doesn't have to be a money bomb in order to contribute so if you got a few bucks donate.

At this rate, we will raise at least $15million for Ron Paul in the first quarter of 2008. In order to sustain and increase beyond that, we must capitalize on the excellent resources we have to get the information into new ears and eyes- talking to people about specific issue that they care about (i.e. immigration, national debt, liberty, etc.), give out Ron Paul DVD's, slim jims, and those handy libertycards! And tell people how much Ron Paul is raising, more than the other Republican candidates, that this election is much more important than any other election in our time. One of the best ways I've found is to let them watch Aaron Russo's Freedom to Fascism. If you haven't seen it, I strongly recommend it! Canvass! We have a lot of work yet to do- but Jefferson said something like: but freedom, once ignited, spreads like wildfire, and is not easily extinguished.

I put money through snail mail to the campaign by check, and donated
by card online. Keep going, no matter what you have to give or the method
you have to give it. No donation is too small or big. Thanks to all those
who love this country!

Do We have another good reason to SURGE again before the 5th. I gave $51 twice yesterday, Money is tight, I could go another $100, especially if a few thousand more are planning to do the same. The money bomb idea may be getting wearisome for some, but how else are we going to get the job done? Is there another moneybomb planned? It's always fun to watch the graphs and feel the commaraderie, knowing we're in this together with Dr. Paul.

Sorry for the late report! I told you that I would donate again. I don't want to LIE like ANDERSON COOPER!

GO RON PAUL!

I just want to share with you how many people have told me as I've canvassed that they've not heard about Ron Paul (usually the older generation that's still plugged into the Matrix), but after I share with them about where Dr. Paul stands on the issues... many of them are receptive.

Please canvass. Have you talked about Ron Paul with your neighbors? Don't be ashamed to spread the truth, overcome any fears you may have... I simply ask folks what's the most important issue to them-- then I talk about where Ron Paul stands on that issue, etc.

Good luck in Canvassing your precinct this weekend. Let's give Dr. Paul a Super-Tuesday!

I know we were at like 3. something million dollars so we definately got more than a million dollars not bad for a full days work aye...but does anybody know the actual total for Feb. 1st?

we've passed the 5 million dollar mark...wooooooo hooooooooo...but we aren't finished yet we still have to get to 8.4 million by Feb 5th

Not going to stop!

Thanks to everyone that donated, and is working so hard for our country and the Pauls.

Please keep up the good work, and canvass HARD this Saturday - it's the best time to reach voters before "Super Tuesday."

Freedom isn't Free!!
God Bless Ron Paul !!

i just came from the Denver rally where i am hearing reports of up to 3,000 people. I had the pleasure of meeting both the Good Doctor and his charming wife on their anniversary. The speech was well received here in Colorado and afterwards we hit the streets with our Ron Paul signs and people were delighted to see us! See you at the caucus on Tuesday.

20k to 5 MIL - lets do this thing!!!!

Today I made my 5th donation and it is amazing to see so many people continue to support Ron Paul and believe in him. The message is spreading and for the first time in my life I'm actually proud to vote.

Ron Paul Cured MY Apathy.

The perfect Ron Paul article I found on Digg:
Ron Paul - Explained

12k to one mil!!!

Shine a light for Lady Liberty!

And Happy Birthday Rhino, thanks for this wonderful idea that put a million dollars in the campaign's pocket! This was an unforgettable experience!

http://www.youtube.com/wa...

getting close --- about $30 K to go We can do this before midnight!

Here in Hawaii we've been doing very well with Ron Paul delegates. Now the GOP is changing the rules and allowing people to continue to sign up as republicans after the caucuses and still attend the convention.

This is a tremendous benefit to Romney's campaign- they can bus whole churches over and pay their way.

Does anyone know to get in touch with HQ so we can have some legal help to review this. It's really an ugly development and the paid staff person has his head in the sand.

Thanks. Sorry to barge in on this topic. I donated today. Don't know where to go for help.

I'm going to change my name to D.J.Nostalgia! Here's one from Sam Cooke to get you in the mood and if that don't do it for you, maybe the funky tune that follows is more your style:

Time is NOW!

so close and yet so far----we're under $80K to do Million Dollar Anniversary! AND push that counter over $5 Million total! Don't give up now---Let's make it look pretty for the Happy Couple!

http://www.ronpaulgraphs....

According to the graph above... we need about $85,000 to push above the ONE MILLION dollar mark for this Feb 1st money bomb. We must achieve this!

This remaining amount would also push us above FIVE MILLION in total donations this month.

Come on people... PUSH! PUSH!

If you've already maxed out at $2300, then please read this letter from Dr. Paul's congressional campaign-- as now he must fight this battle for freedom and liberty on two fronts. Political opportunists have taken this opportunity to attack Dr. Paul at home in an attempt to unseat him from Congress... we MUST not lose his voice of freedom in the halls of Congress. Read his letter here:

http://www.dailypaul.com/...

His congressional coffers are nearly empty. Let's help Dr. Paul defend his homefront as we wage this revolution nationally.

bump

...unless it's at LEAST a million dollars. Only $90K to go (and less than 100K to hit $5 million for the quarter :-))......

Keep freedom alive.

WASHINGTON — The World Bank is using millions of dollars in American taxpayer funds to help Iran build up its industrial and natural gas sectors, FOX News has learned.

This comes at a time when the United States and the United Nations are actively working to discourage the international community from conducting commercial transactions with Iran and its energy sector, in particular.

The World Bank's Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) provides financial guarantees to secure foreign investments in developing countries, and the U.S. government is one of the agency's largest contributors. U.S. contributions since 2000 have totaled nearly $24 million.

Documents and public filings obtained by FOX News show the MIGA has issued $122.2 million in guarantee coverage for three companies from Thailand and Japan, that have in turn invested a total of $42.8 million in a state-owned Iranian petrochemical company.

The MIGA guarantees insure the three investors — Cementhai Chemicals Company and National Petrochemical Public Company Ltd., both of Thailand, and Itocho Corporation, of Japan — against the risk of "war and civil disturbance," and any potential breach of contract by the government of Iran.

In addition, Itocho is providing the Iranian company, Mehr Petrochemical, with a $96 million shareholder loan, which also is underwritten by MIGA.

Iran's National Petrochemical Co. chairman Kazem Vaziri Hamaneh serves on the board of Mehr Petrochemical, according to Middle East financial industry-watch site, www.Zawya.com. The National Petrochemical is a subsidiary of the Iranian Petroleum Ministry.

First-Time Aid to Iran

The project marks the first time MIGA has provided such coverage for foreign investment in Iran. The infusion of cash by foreign investors, according to MIGA documents, will enable the Islamic republic to mine the South Pars gas field, a giant offshore gas reserve in the Persian Gulf, and to construct and operate a nearby high-density polyethylene plant, where the gas will be processed for industrial uses.

These projects, a MIGA summary states, will help Iran "diversify the country's exports away from oil" and "contribute to government revenues."

The South Pars project is not MIGA's only thrust into Iran, however. The agency's paperwork for a separate project shows a $5 million equity and loan guarantee provided to a Turkish company whose plants in Iran produce and export polypropylene containers. The documents say Iran's economy is "over-reliant on oil," and boast the Turkish venture will "help diversify Iran's economy ... while introducing state-of-the-art, lean manufacturing techniques that can be replicated for use in other industrial facilities."

At Odds With U.S. Policy?

American and allied officials at the U.N. have been working for years to discourage foreign investment in just such kinds of projects in Iran, fearing they will directly or indirectly aid the Islamic republic's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, as well as the regime's support for terrorist groups across the Middle East.

Last October, the Bush administration designated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its elite Quds Force as terror organizations — the IRGC for weapons proliferation, and the Quds Force for support of terrorism. At the time, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice standing by his side, told reporters "it is increasingly likely that if you are doing business with Iran, you are doing business with the IRGC."

Paulson also called on "reputable institutions" not to serve as "bankers to this dangerous regime" and concluded "many banks around the world have decided as a matter of prudence and integrity that Iran's business is simply not worth the risk."

Assistant Secretary of State Sean McCormack disclosed last June that the State Department had been contacting multinational firms and state-owned companies around the world, counseling them against financial transactions with the Iranian regime and its subsidiaries.

"We've talked to Shell Oil," McCormack told reporters June 12. "We've talked to the Chinese national oil company. There have been several others as well ... giving them informational briefings and talking to them about whether or not, really, this is the right time to be making those sorts of big bets on the Iranian energy sector when you have a country that is already under [U.N. Security Council] Chapter 7 resolution," referring to a U.N charter section that deals with international threats.

McCormack continued: "And it raises the question of, well, is this the kind of investment climate that you want to enter into? These are big bets of billions of dollars that people are calculating they're going to get returns over a significant number of years. And if you have that level of uncertainty, I think the business end will make their own calculations about whether or not that's the place where they want to invest their money."

The World Bank has apparently decided otherwise, according to U.S. Reps. Steve Rothman, D-N.J., and Mark Kirk, R-Ill. — a former Bank staffer. They say the global lending institution has "transferred at least $50 million in U.S. and allied taxpayer funding to Iran" over the last six months.

In a letter to Rice and Paulson dated Jan. 30 and obtained by FOX News, Rothman and Kirk argued the World Bank is "undermining the Iran policies of the U.N. Security Council, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and the United States by giving technical assistance, loans and investment guarantees directly to the government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."

The letter urges the Bush administration to "align the World Bank board to the policy" of the U.N. Security Council, by suspending all World Bank loans to Iran and all guarantees on foreign investment in the country.

Contacted by FOX News, a World Bank spokesman noted that MIGA's $127 million in guarantees was approved by the agency back in 2005, and that such guarantees do not involve disbursement of funds unless a claim is made by a foreign investor.

"The World Bank Group complies with UN sanctions on Iran," the Bank's website states, adding: "Arrangements have been put in place to ensure disbursements under project agreements are utilizing banking channels that are not subject to sanctions lists."

McCormack told Fox News the State Department only just received the Rothman-Kirk letter, and will be replying to it shortly.

I never made a post on this thread.

And I donated every cent of my birthday gifts. Best feeling I have ever had.
