Well, legally it's supposed to be only Americans.

 

[ProfNo]

Well, legally it's supposed to be only Americans.

It could very well be Americans that live abroad.

We'll hit $2 Million by noon. You know, I was just "pushing back" (clearly not a debate) on a Ron-hater on Twitter. "he's too old, he polls to shitty, obama would kill him in a debate". I just calmly pointed out the Gallup Poll from 8/8, how he polls 1v1 against Obama, and then...I just nicely asked: "why would he lose to Obama? Do you still want to be a country that grades the next leaders on how nice and hip they are? Substance be damned?"

It really didn't shut him up, which was not my goal. It made him think. He pushed back on the gay marriage. Think it was important to him. I appreciated that, then pointed to Liberty Defined and Ron's belief of no government in marriage.

Did I win they guy over? Maybe not. But I showed him that the black/white doesn't apply to Ron Paul. He's more then talking points in 30 second bullshit. Just point out the message he carries and its hard for people not to like at least part of it. And part of the message is still better then ANY of the shit we got. And you know what? People see it. Even this guy. He knows his Obama vote was useless. He's no more free now. He's still got blog about the wars he hates.

We made it to 1.5 Mil! Awesome. I was watching the count all day and cheered when we made it.

Since it is still 5 minutes to midnight in my time zone, I had to make one more donation for the day...

Barely made it by the stroke of midnight CST, but donated. It was pretty cool to see my name on the main page.

 

[RonPaul101.com]

Official word is 12 more hours of moneybomb, the establishment groundhog saw its shadow as a cyber attack. So we press on...

 

[RonPaul101.com]

Their asking for $1.75 mil, if we can do it by noon tomorrow...

 

[CaseyJones]

just donate

 

[Jackie Treehorn]

Helluva bday present, let's get this to $1.75M!

 

[IterTemporis]

I wonder if we can make the whole ticker red, that would be a very nice present for Mr. Paul.

Update thread total: $21,043.27

 

[purplechoe]

To be able to raise $1.5M this early in the campaign is certainly a good sign, hopefully the next money bombs will keep getting stronger...
