Ron Paul Beats Own Fundraising Record

In 2004, on the day John Kerry accepted the Democratic presidential nomination, the Boston senator raised $5.7 million on the Internet, the biggest online fundraising day on record.

Yesterday, Ron Paul, the Republican congressman whose rock star status on the Internet has singlehandedly fueled his campaign, broke that record, raising nearly $6 million in 24 hours.

What other candidate running today has enough people who believe in them as much as Paul?

Good point! The contributions being made are from real people and not special interests. So it is quite a feat indeed! Some would try to play it down as there are others that have raised a lot more in contributions however they are not from bundlers- What are bundlers? Be informed http://www.whitehouseforsale.org/

I support Hillary, but I also love Paul as do a lot of my friends. He is a straight shooter something that is very, very hard to find in Washingotn, DC.

Ron Paul has a very grand fatherly face. Most likeable. Is it the face of the new President of the USA? Is it determined on something as arbitrary as how someone looks?

As arbitrary as choosing a man of colour because of that very fact?

We shall see.

Look into the facts. Ron Paul is hated among the special interest groups and even the corporate media. This is why the people like him so much.

GO RON PAUL!!!

He is our last chance for true FREEDOM and it won't happen again for a long time if America does not MAKE SURE he is elected.

If you want the America that was, Ron Paul is your candidate. Imagine, an America where our word is our bond, we treat our neighbors right, we don't lie, cheat and steal from people and we do not torture people nor spy on them or BOMB innocent people in a far away land, people we don't even know anything about. Imagine an America that minds it's own business and takes care of our people instead of sending BILLIONS to certain countries, guaranteed, year after year while our people can't get help for Katrina.

Your best indicator Ron Paul is the answer is the way the bought and paid for media is ignoring him.

My lord we have some surprises due in Nov 08. There will be shock and awe across the land.

PS: Glen Beck is supposed to interview Ron Paul on his Dec. 18th show. Watch if you can. I love Glen Beck but he thinks Paul is a whack job. Let's hope that Glen Beck gets HIS EYES OPENED just like the rest of us have!
