1 trillion dollars by January 1st! I'm down for a million, who's with me?
Being that Dec. 31st is two weeks away, that would allow most people one more paycheck before the end of the year...we could set up a "money bullet"...set it up for donations of $20-50, that is only a couple of meals out or not going to see some movies on the weekend to some people...others I know it would be more difficult and have given all they can. I agree though, let's just keep donating and having fun...I never knew donating money to a politician could be so FUN!

Not at this juncture. The campaign has more money than it knows how to manage effectively. More money would likely just encourage waste and poor decision making. And we - those who have been donating all along - need to recuperate our donation muscles for 2008.
The campaign needs to get its act together with regard to strategy from here. In particular, I think it needs to come up with a cogent argument that Paul is actually THE strong national defense candidate. The pieces for that assertion are all there in Paul's prior position statements, his voting record, world facts, and a little logic/imagination, but the campaign management needs to bring things together. It's really fumbling the ball on this issue and on some others.
But what the Ron Paul campaign needs from us right now, most of all, is feet on the ground. Those of us who have vehicles but haven't yet turned them into moving billboards need to get with the program. A couple hundred large vehicle signs per city could definitely have an impact.
I just bought 500 DVDs today from http://www.ronpaulreveres.com/. I guess that means I'm committed to either hand them out doo to door or climb to the top of a local high rise and use them as Frisbees.(which would really get me committed).
Anyway, enough money. More action. More education. It's shocking how many people in this country have never bothered to read the Constitution, haven't a clue what the 10th Amendment says, and don't know the difference between a Democracy and a Republic.
The people of the United States can be classified as follows:
1) those who are now awake
2) those yet to be awakened
3) those on the teat of the current fascist system who might want to break from their addiction to the status quo but don't know how.
4) those who are, effectively, enemies of the Republic - only nominally American by virtue of their citizenship but actually and actively opposed to the Constitution and, therefore, not Americans at all. There's not much you can do with these folks except not waste much time on them.
10 million people x $100

If every current donor can convert one family member into a "new donor" over the Christmas Holidays, then we could do this exact event again on the 31st.
That could push us to 25 Million for the Quarter without costing the current donors another dime.
All Ron Paul needs for Christmas is 1 new donor from each of us.
Donation of 100$ =100$
Converting a new donor = 10$-2300$
Getting a friend or family member to support Liberty = $$Priceless
