Washington Post article on Money Bomb (there is a shout out to this forum!)

[libertyplz]

From the article:

Tucked in the upper right corner of one of the leading Ron Paul discussion forums Monday was a message that may have seemed cryptic to an outsider. "Stand with Rand," it read, using a photo of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and the freshly minted logo for his 2016 campaign. "April 7th Money Bomb."

The idea of the "money bomb" in politics is generally associated with the elder Paul. In November 2007, supporters decided to make a splash of support for the former Texas representative by encouraging a swarm of donations to his presidential campaign within a 24-hour period. Keeping with the countercultural spirit of the then-young movement, they chose Guy Fawkes Day — and raised $4.2 million.

The article includes a lot of good data including graphs for the amount raised and at what times he was raising the most. During his speech for example he was raising $24 per second.
