It seems the Middle Class wasn't enough grinded between taxation and inflation. They can even donate for their candidate!

A'men!!

That does not count the $100,000 worth of expenditures (guessing) supporters made today!!!

I have spent 4x the amount I have donated online; Hopefully that is the case with others.

 

[markpa]

Wow! I'm stunned.

This is truly a movement for freedom and liberty now...nothing can stop it.

Same here.....I've sent 100 FRNs directly, and spent 4 times that on yard signs, sign making materials, etc. We're having a local sign making party here tommorrow afternoon.

I wonder how much more then an average day that is.

 

[FluffyUnbound]

I am pleased not just by the great one-day performance, but because I had previously feared that the campaign's fundraising might be hard-pressed to match what it did last quarter.

So many of the most enthusiastic people have already given what they could afford or maxed out at the contribution limit.

Getting 75k in one day makes me assume he's at least equalling his average fundraising from last quarter.

Lets make his birthday even bigger

 

[USAFCapt]

Yep, same here. I've spent 300 on yard signs, placing them around the Florida Panhandle. Most of them were taken down within days although a few have been up for 2 months now.

Take down other candidate's signs wherever possible. If that's not possible, put RP stuff in front! I saw a small Guliani sign in someone's yard... let's just say it's not there anymore lol

And all that money on what seemed like a fairly typical day, except for the message asking for donations. That is really incredible.

i duno i mean despite how much of a criminal giuliani is people still have the right to support the candidate of their choice. we shouldn't take the signs out of peoples yards or put our signs in other peoples yards i don't think. now putting ron paul signs in front of other peoples signs in public areas is a different matter .

Fool thing to do.....and I personally find it offensive....you're not going to convert that person, and what you will do is start a rash of sign destruction for everyone.

In addition, you are denying them the very right to free speech that Ron Paul champions.....perhaps you should examine your own motives for being with this campaign.

Concentrate your efforts on positive things instead of juvenile actions.

I'd like to second or third or whatever the other sentiments on this being a bad idea. Not just perhaps juvenile, but a sign for anybody helps our cause. The majority of people have no interest in politics whatsoever. The RP campaign benefits from an increase of overall political awareness much more than do the other campaigns. The people that are putting signs in their yards for other candidates are part of the minority that is already involved in the political process. RP resonates loudly with those that have not been involved in the political process at all.

 

[stevedasbach]

If we take down their signs, they'll take down ours. That's a net loss for Ron Paul.

 

[Ironslave]

Thats an amazing number, and the kind of money we need to be competitive.

Having said that, Ron's birthday is in 9 days!!! Who here thinks we can blow that number out of the water??

 

[DjLoTi]

I take down other signs if they look like they're 'trash'. I don't take it down if it's fine and not mangled or pollutive.

I "think" I heard they were doing around 30k a day a few months ago. As he said everything is increasing now so I would also take that to mean that the daily rate is up there.
