Ron Paul raises $4.2 million in one day
Posted by Chris Knudsen on November 6th, 2007
Well it looks like Ron Paul’s message is finally beginning to resonate with many Americans. In just one day, Ron Paul raised $4.2 million. From MSNBC:
“Paul as of Monday had raised more than $7 million since Oct. 1, more than half his goal of $12 million by the end of the year, according to his Web site.
Paul advocates limited government and low taxes like other Republicans, but he stands alone as the only GOP presidential candidate opposed to the Iraq war. He also has opposed Bush administration security measures that he says encroach on civil liberties.”Â
The truly remarkable thing is that this total sum was generated from over 38,000 people, donating an average each of $103.
That’s far different from other contenders who have raised that much in a day, where their contributions usually come from well-to-do people that donate the max $2,300, or PACs that donate huge sums of money.
If everybody only donated 100 bucks yesterday, we’re more than able to do another similar money bomb in a month or two - the same people donating the same amount, generating another 4 million.
Boo-ya!
