Ron Paul Raises $6 Million Overnight Via the Web
In the list of Republican candidates vying to take over Bush's seat in the White House, familiar names like Giuliani and Romney took early leads in polls. However, as we move closer to the various state primaries, a new picture is emerging in which lesser-known candidates with different messages are finding success online and, amazingly, leading the polls. One of those is Ron Paul, whose online supporters drummed up $6 million in funding in a 24-hour period.The money was raised from a so-called "Money Bomb," Paul's second. The first, back in early November, raised $4.3 million in a day. This latest one broke John Kerry's record of $5.7 million raised in a day during his campaign. With such huge successes, there are rumors of a third "Bomb" day in January.
Ron Paul has certainly captured a lot of attention with his strong civil libertarian and fiscal conservative views, wanting to end Federal income tax and cut government spending.

In your survey below the article, you asked, "Have you ever given money to a candidate online?" Before Ron Paul I had never given, never volunteered, never gone door-to-door, never put a bumper sticker on my car, etc, etc, etc. You get the idea. Funny thing is, most of the people I've met in his campaign fit the same description, so you wonder why he is polling low in these national shams of "likely Republican voters?" Because people, lots and LOTS of people like "me" are not being counted in them. Not to worry, though, we'll make up for it come election day!

I figue the best way I can protect my dollars from Hillary Clinton is to give them to Ron Paul.
It felt so good to donate to Ron's campaign that I decided to do it twice!

For the first time in my life, I can vote FOR a candidate instead of voting AGAINST someone else.
Dr. Ron Paul is certinaly the only candidate who can defeat whatever the Democrats put in front of voters.
But, more than that, Dr. Ron Paul is the only candidate who will fight for our freedoms, who will dismantle the massive infrastructure that our nation has built up and who will restore the Republic.
He is the only choice.

My family donated to Ron Paul. He is the real deal and no one comes close to him! I don't understand the media and yet perhaps I do, they are bought and paid by certain groups and Ron Paul does not belong to any groups except the American voters. God Bless Ron Paul and thanks for reporting his success.

This was my first time donating, and I donated for Dr. Ron Paul. Dr. Ron Paul cured my apathy.
