2007-12-17 07:56:00 Here’s the chart of yesterday’s fundraiser compared to his November 5th fundraiser: It looks like he wound up on the low end of my prediction - right above $6 million. The site apparently stopped updating around midnight due to an overload on the server, so I’m not seeing a 100% final picture. Hopefully it’ll update by ...
Ron Paul Finishes with Over $6 Million on Second Money Bomb
2007-12-17 07:18:00 What better record to break than your own. Ron Paul broke his own record for a single day, which was $4.3 million on Guy Fawkes Day, today by taking in over $6 million dollars. Paul also broke John Kerry?s record breaking day of $5.7 million. December 16th was the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party which is why supporters chose this date. The ?Paulites? even rented a blimp which flew around over South Carolina with ads for Ron Paul on each side. One side of the blimp read, ?Who is Ron Paul? Google Ron Paul.? The other side said, ?Ron Paul Revolution.? Paulites hope to use a blimp in New Hampshire before the January 3rd primary as well. Jesse Benton, a campaign spokes person for Ron Paul said that the median donation from supporters was $50 dollars based on credit card donations coming in during the day. Ron Paul finished the day with $17.9 million dollars for the quarter. The campaign said that they needed to raise $12 million dollars this quarter ...
Ron Paul Money Bomb Update (Boston Tea Party Event)
2007-12-17 00:11:00 At 12:00 AM this morning Ron Paul started out with about $11,550,000 million (estimated) in donations. Currently he is at about $15,636,394 million as of 6:05 PM EST. With only 6 hours to go in the day he is well short of the organizers goal of $10 million but they have managed to raise over $4.1 million so far. I am projecting that they will end up with about $6 million to $7 million when the night is over. You can see the live numbers come in on the chart below which is incredible. No other candidate offers this kind of live system for their fundraising numbers.

Boston Tea Party and Ron Paul?
2007-12-16 14:55:00 On December 16th, 1773, American colonists entered Boston Harbor and climbed aboard British ships. Once aboard, the colonists proceeded to throw all the crates of tea overboard in protest to being taxed without being represented in Parliament. Large amounts of American colonists also began to boycott tea imported by the British government or their companies. Some believe that these actions helped stem the American Revolution a few years later. Fast forward 234 years and you will find a tea party of another kind. Ron Paul, a Republican candidate popular on the Internet, has organized a fund raising campaign. The goal is to gather donations from citizens around the country interested in changing how America operates. Ron Paul is on record for wanting to pull the troops out of foreign wars (i.e. Iraq and Afghanistan), tighten our borders and above all, reduce government involvement in our lives. He feels the government places too many restrictions on our daily lives and look...

December 16th, the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, is the date for the
2007-11-12 00:22:00 Oh, man, this one is gonna be even more fun than November 5th. December 16th is the day HP'ers. A money bomb for Ron Paul will explode the GOP race. Be a part of it.Ron Paul may have raised $4 million thanks to the blogs on the 5th, but he got millions more worth of free press - he was EVERYWHERE this past week. And he's now raised as of tonight $8 million the quarter. Wow. John, Rudy and Mitt must be pissed! But just wait until December 16th. A day that will go down in US political history.Folks, if you ever want to see the power of one individual with an idea, just look at what Trevor Lyman, who never worked for a campaign before, who isn't very political, did with a moment of inspiration and a great idea when he put up the November 5th money bomb website and banners (need more banners btw). One man, with a great idea, which then caught fire on communities like HP, vaulted Ron Paul to the top tier of Republican candidates. Damn, that's beautiful. Wish I had thought o...

The 1773 Boston Tea Party
1969-12-31 19:00:00 In history class, we learned a great deal about the history of America. The Boston Tea Party was one major turning point that defined America as we know it today. We are strong, defiant, capable, and know what is fair and just. The British were looking for some way to recover some of the money they had lost during the war between the French and Indians some ten years earlier. In the years just prior to the Boston Tea Party, the crown had created numerous attempts to gain back control of the governments. It started with the 1765 Stamp Act, the 1767 Townsend Acts, the 1770 Boston Massacre, and culminated with the 1773 Tea Tax. Because colonists took a stand and refused to pay any taxes, the Parliament was forced to retract all taxes and so they did, except one. You guessed it they left the Tea Tax. This was nothing more than a mere demonstration of the rights and ability Parliament felt they had to impose taxes. It was in May of the year 1773, Parliament decided to implement a trick... |
