End of Q4 Goal Needs to be $21 Million!

[Ethek]

I think weve gotten as much milage from the press as we can on fundraising. Everyone knows he can raise money.

The blimp drives down his unfavorable rating. that's a real issue in states past Iowa and NH. Get the blimp funded and it will neutralize the bad press thats flying when we win NH.

In order to win NH we need to fund live free or die.

The 20million number is nice.. but it wont do anything extra for us.

I think hitting 20 Million would be great. No doubt...or more.

But I think some of our grassroots effort deserve a bit more of our $$$ currently.

My top three would be....

operationnh.com and funding their grassroots commercials

The Blimp!

Any local funding your meetup group might need to continue to spead the word.

They can't not talk about it when he is at the top of all other candidates for Q4 fund raising.

It is also more money in the pocket of the campaign for Super Tuesday States.

Guys, nobody really cares about fundraising records at this point. It's all about Iowa, votes and polls in the eyes of the Media. Just go and talk to somebody and get their vote.

The statistic we should be targeting as a visible, measurable goal is the number of new donors.

This is what shows how many people we are converting to the cause to the extent that they are willing to put their name down and make a contribution of their hard-earned dollars. When people reach this level of committment they are also ready to talk up Ron Paul with others and further increrase our voter base.

Ok i've about had it with people on this forum... how is a logically laid out rationale... that $21 million for the quarter gives added significance as being the top republican quarter all year... worthy of 1-2 star forum ratings??? Since when was raising a reasonable amount of money for Dr. Paul a bad thing???

$1million more money isn't the end of the world for us to raise... and getting to that $21million number holds a lot more significance than $20million for the reasons I have outlined above. For instance its only $33 each from the 30k new donors we have had in the past week.

Everybody will raise less in Q4 than they did in Q3. Most primary fundraising is smallest in the 4th quarter historically.

Isn't the campaign organizing the "boots on the ground" in the early primary states? All we should worry about is getting them the cash to do it. Read this stuff...

I vote we break $21 million AND get out the vote. It takes me 1 minute to donate, so having another money bomb (which we are on Dec 31) doesn't take away from my on-the-ground support!!

Heck yea!!
