That was my first donation, I subsequently made donations at 9:49pm CST and 10:40 CST; $200 on each one. I was going to do $1K, but I couldn't afford it; I will however max out before the end of the quarter. I'm up to $800 now.
The fact that this story, if true as I haven't seen it verified by the campaign, is a rumor and has a negative impact on funds, that would not only be way too ironic, but also the greatest problem that you ever had. What we did tonight was amazing!
The power of the Internet and, thusly, the power of individuals, who believe strongly in the ideas of liberty and freedom; understand the proper role of government and why our Constitution was crafted such that it is: to shackle the reigns of tyranny and give the power to that of the People; coming together for a common cause is absoultely umatched by that of any other force.
It combines real time communication and coordination to make for a lean mean liberty-breeding machine.
So long as we have a free-market Internet we have a free-market of great ideas: like that of a great business-model in a free-market, great ideas can be VERY economically beneficial. When the government gets involved in the free market, you have Enron, and all the other skeletons in the closets of Wall Street; when the government gets involved in the free-market of ideas, you get Neo-Conservatism and other hideous ideas lurking in the closest with a sign on it that says, "Kill 'Em All - Let God Sort 'Em Out, While You Eat A Free Lunch
in Here!"
Please keep the free-flow of ideas coming everyone!
Congratulate yourself, we just made history baby! Where's the dude that came up with this idea?! I feel like a crowd of supporters need to carry him around a football field or something?! I think he'll be crowd surfing at the Philly Rally~!
I jokingly told my father, that Ron Paul was on the front page of MSNBC and by association, I was famous and everyone thought I was awesome! lol
In Liberty,
Denny
