The "Stand with Rand" Money Bomb is underway! Tracking thread

[Mr.NoSmile]

If corporations and companies saw Paul as a credible challenger, I'm guessing they'd already be donating to him and that the majority of his donations not just come from individual donors- though I don't know if that's the case. You can't always run just on grassroots money when your competitors have huge financial bakers and corporations willing to put in large figures for campaigns.

The large figures go to PACs. We only know about what the campaign is raising at the moment.

Hell, then Paul may need to start having some of those expensive-as-hell dinners to rake in some cash.

I believe he has been doing some, however I hope he continues to do more.

The one good thing I have been noticing, is that the moneybomb is almost in its own separate fundraising 'world' both in numbers and promotion. The store purchases aren't being added in and the campaign has specifically said that the total on the ticker is exclusively online. So who knows how much he has brought in via call centers, regular fundraisers and mailed in checks.

I'm going to pull an angelatc here and point out just for the hell of it that corporations and companies can not donate to campaigns.

1.9 million! 100k to go. I guess I can donate a little bit more.

 

[hells_unicorn]

I've given $50 so far, and I don't get paid again for a little while so this will probably be it for me for this particular money bomb. Considering how early things are and the fact that these are only online numbers, Rand appears to be in pretty good shape. It's a shame I don't have as much money as I did when Ron Paul ran, otherwise I'd be able to give more sooner. 7 years of Obama has cut into my business, and I probably wouldn't be donating as much as I have had gas prices not dropped over the past few months.

If you run any "State for Rand Paul" pages, some of us are attempting to do a concentrated push today to promote the final Moneybomb goal.

Are you doing something with Indiana? If so - great! What's the link?

1.93! Not sure we are making 2 mill tonight but we have had a pretty good day. Almost 200k today which is good.

 

[Natural Citizen]

I think only 30 thousand smackers contributed today. Or something like that.

We are now 15 hours away from the full 1-week mark from Rand's announcement.

Getting to that round, magic number of $2 million is important. It will be noted in the media and result in additional enthusiasm & credibility for the campaign.

I'll do my part to help. I'll donate an additional $20.16, if 2 others match me and post here.

 

[kbs021]

Last night we had about 1.75 million. Today we have almost 1.95

P.S. I'll have you know this is cutting into my booze budget!

 

[mad cow]

Yea, I agree. Without getting into specific figures, I'm not worried about fundraising for the general at all.

As for the primary....

Some candidates use money to get primary wins, others use primary wins to get money.

Rand is the latter sort.

Money between now and, say, Nevada is crucial.

He needs enough money to be competitive in the early states. When he wins those, then money won't be a problem anymore.

So, to convert that into practical advice - if you're planning to give Rand money, do it sooner rather than later.

Plus rep.

Thank you for your donation

Thank you for your generous contribution to Rand Paul for President. Your contributions provide the fuel for a well coordinated, effective, and successful campaign. With your help, we can Stop the Washington Machine and Unleash the American Dream!

Here are your transaction details:
Donation amount: $500.00
Transaction date/time: 04/14/2015
Transaction ID: ch_15rHYTJjFVh2yjdv0F9xXXXX

In Liberty,
Dr. Rand Paul
Rand Paul for President

This brings my total donations since last Tuesday to $1,700.
I am still saving $1,000 for possible future strategic money bombs but what r3.0 says is true,a dollar now might be worth more than ten dollars six months from now.

I can afford this with very minor pain at 63 years old after a career of manual labor and with an eighth grade education.

I realize that most of you are much younger and don't have that sort of disposable income,there were many,many times when I was 16 to 26 when I couldn't come up with $1.70 extra that I didn't need for food.

However,seventeen bucks ($17.76? ) should be in reach of most of you and it would go a long way toward preserving some semblance of free-market capitalism if we can get Rand Paul elected President in 2016.

2 million in six days would be sweet.

Tell you what..

Francisco says one more person donates $20.16 and he'll match it; I'll do the same.

So, next person to donate $20.16 gets his effort leveraged three-fold.

EDIT: we're at $1.938M, $62k short of the goal.

..."You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to R3volution 3.0 again"

Okay you guys, R3v3 has thrown down the gauntlet...I need someone to give him the +rep he deserves, and someone (maybe the same person??) to be the second donor of just $20.16 That's a great incentive, because your contribution will be effectively TRIPLED!!

I've got my credit card in hand waiting to contribute...
