Data: http://ronpaulmyths.com/aug20donations.txt

2:41 AM and earlier was taken from a mix of my own observations and what was posted in this thread. After that I'm running a script to retrieve the current total from the campaign site.

awesome! so that will continue to update automatically?
 
Just bought 80 of the Black Series business cards to hand out to Bartenders and Servers when I tip them, I got them from http://ronpauldesigns.blogspot.com/

Great site look it up and check out the flyers and buisness cards. The Black series is easy to give when you tip, just place it with the money or reciept, it tells them about how Ron Paul is against taxing tips.

Also check out this video from them.

Can't wait to see the donation ticker at the end of today!
 
it will update automatically as long as my internet connection stays up and my laptop stays on... i'm on a cell phone modem so no guarantees, but here's the script if anyone else wants to collect the data -- that way if I lose my connection you can just send the missing data points over. I would not recommend everyone run this script since we don't want to cause undue stress on the campaign site:

#!/bin/sh
echo `date +"%H:%M:%S"` `curl -s http://www.ronpaul2012.com/wp-content/themes/ronpaul/tp.php | grep "total_amount" | awk 'BEGIN { FS="\""; } { print $4; }'` >> aug20donations.txt

POSIX compliant OS FTW!
 
Guys I was just making my donation and remembered that my birthday is on Sunday, I'm honored to have a birthday right next to Ron Paul's.

And a special fact you guys might want to know is that tomorrow is also the birthday of Buddhist grand master Hsing Yun (who's dedicated his entire life to spreading the message of humanistic Buddhism and compassion across the world), which along with Ron Paul is another one of my heros. Something about tomorrow is a truly special day! :)
 
Despite being a supporter of Ron Paul prior to his 2008 election, this is my first donation to any of Ron Paul's campaigns. The Reason? I'm impressed by the 2012 campaign strategy (i.e. utilizing the conventional campaign tactics of canvassing, phonebanking/robocalling and direct mail mixed with unique grassroots-esque marketing such as advertisements produced like movie trailers and Tax Free Tips business cards) thus far and the results it's generated. I finally feel his campaign will invest my money more wisely than I can on my own to get Ron Paul elected (a sentiment I lacked in the 2008 election).

Amount: $20.12
Transaction ID: 303245452
Transaction date/time: 2011-08-20 04:30:26

Ron Paul and his campaign have earned this donation and many more to come (even though, as in 2008, I can't really afford it)!
 
Wooot! Just hit 200k! Happy Birthday Mr. Frontrunner, Father of The Tea Party, and the most trusted honest politician in the entire CONGRESS! May Christ be with you always and Godspeed to your campaign! You have the wings so fly to your dreams!
 
Happy Birthday Ron! Best present I can send is $$$. Donation sent! If he doesn't win, this money will be worthless soon anyway.

Here are your transaction details:
Donation amount: $100.00
Transaction date/time: 2011-08-20 05:38:32

I have a feeling there are many just like you that's a first time donor. I know I am one. Never donated to anyone's campaign until today.

Never donated to any candidate or campaign ever before in an election. Ron Paul is the only option for 2012!!!
 
Happy birthday Ron. I wish I could donate. Today is also the day Estonia became a free country again in 1991. Liberty shines on this day.
 
if you look at the other thread with the graph the slope is sharply increasing. i.e. we're making much more per hour than the early morning
