Title: Ron Paul to raise $1 Million in ONE WEEK?!?!?
Post by: jeromechickenbone on September 27, 2007, 10:45:27 PM
Damn yall, I haven't been keeping you posted on the latest w/ Ron, but in the words of T.I. "Big Things Poppin".

Anyway, at the beginning of this week, Ron set a fundraising goal of $500,000 to be reached by the end of the current fiscal quarter (the end of this month, aka 2.5 days away.)  Well donations poured in like crazy and blew that 500k out the water.  It's currently at over $600k and Paul has set a new goal of $1 Million!  It can absolutely be done if people contribute.  I have personally contributed $1,000 and will continue to donate until i've reached the legal limit of $2,300.

So anyway, I'm here to ask ANY of you that support Ron Paul ideals to donate to his cause.  It can be as little as $5 if you mail it in, or as little as $20 if you do it through his official campaign website.

As many of you know, Ron gets mad hate against him in the mainstream media.  They attempt to discredit him in every way possible.  But he shocked the hell out of EVERYONE when he came in 4th overall last quarter in fundraising, and was actually higher than McCain w/ cash on hand (donations minus debt) for 3rd overall. 

Money talks and bullshit walks.  If Ron gets mad cash donations this quarter it will continue to prove that he is legit.  The media won't be able to marginalize him when he's got millions of dollars of donations. 

So anyway, I know not everybody can afford the donation.  If you can't, borrow $20 from someone or beg someone to do it for you.  And if you can't do that, just try and tell 5 people about Ron Paul.  Tell anyone who will listen.

Here's his official site that shows a running tally of the current goal:

Anyone that sets up a presidential assasination from with in, can just as easily set up an election. They wouldn't have to kill him. They'd just have to make him lose. Killing him if he has the support to win would cause huge problems and the people would yearn for more libertarians to run.

You mean Jrome. ;)

I haven't seen any Billboards in San Diego, but some people have taken to put Ron Paul bumber stickers on various places othe then cars. So far I've seen 2 in La Jolla (one was removed because it was blocking the street sign) and one in clairmont. Plus I got mine on my car. I saw a car with a Mitt Romney 08 magnet on the back and threw it in the trash. True story. Although I think it was put on there by someone else, because it would be pretty stupid to put a magnet on your car. A side from Paul and Obama, I havent seen any other presidential bumber stickers (I still see people with Kerry/Edwards and Bush/Cheney bumber stickers though, Lol).

LOL.. that's funny when you still see people with bumper stickers on their cars from really old elections. 

Anyway, I haven't seen many bumper stickers for these most recent elections, but I'd have to say I've seen Ron Paul more than anyone else.  Although, that could be because law of attraction would influence me into noticing more Ron Paul bumper-stickers.  Also, I've seen almost an even number of Obama stickers.  Whenever I see someone with a Ron Paul sticker I usually honk and we exchange a thumbs up.

Came back from La Jolla and 2 more signs were added to the streets. They were both homemade and one said "google Ron Paul". I have an extra bumber sticker, I should find a place to put it.
