My receipt hasn't come in my email yet but we donated $50 just before midnight. Will be making a store purchase and possibly donating more cash as well over the next 2 days.
Bought some stuff from the campaign store this time vs just a pure donation, going to go around talking to a few folks sporting my new hoodie, shirt, and a few other things!
As you can see, Wall Street is once again trying to buy an election, and they very clearly want Mitt Romney to win the Republican nomination….

No other Republican candidate even comes close to Romney at any of these big Wall Street banks. (I did the math. THAT'S $813,300 TO MITT ROMNEY!!!)
That's $13,104 for Ron Paul. Gee, who do you think these huge corporations want to be president, and why? Help me out here, will ya?
To put these numbers into perspective, Goldman Sachs, BoA, Citigroup, Chase, and Morgan Stanley gave 98.4% more money to Romney than they did to Ron Paul.
Wouldnt hurt but I think those that were going to donate have already donated. Now it's just trickling the random donations that always happen. 2.5 million+ is a great figure for a moneybomb this early in the campaign and we should all be very satisfied if it surpasses that number in the next couple days. Once primaries are approaching we'll see the 4 million and higher days. In 2008 we didn't even start serious donation drives until November and by then they were too late since Ron had no organization built and no ad buys of consequences (he's catchin on!). The powder we're giving Ron now sets the stage for big ad buys now, name recognition, and then ground troops when the primaries start up. I like our position right now. Every dollar helps so Im not saying to stop promoting. We just have to recognize the situation.
Here is one of them
