Super Tuesday is February 5th. Today is January 26th. Ron Paul has asked us (http://www.ronpaul2008.com) to get the quarterly donations total to $8400K by February 5th. At the rate we are going (http://paulcash.slact.net) today we will have donated a total of $55K by the end of the day. That means that we have nine more days to raise the remaining $4850K, ten if you include February 5th.

So, even if we include February 5th towards meeting our goal, this means we need an average of $485K per day starting tomorrow.

Yesterday we donated roughly $66K, 13.6% of this amount.
Today we donated roughly $55K, 11.3% of this amount.

To meet the goal the campaign has set, we will need to donate 8.85 times more money than we donated today every day for the next ten days. If we donate the same amount every day that we donated today, we will end up with $550K, 11.3% of what he asked for.

Some people are discussing another moneybomb. I have heard a number of dates, but the most talked about one seems to be February 1st. The "Free At Last"/MLK moneybomb was promoted vigorously for nearly a month-- much more than any moneybomb than will take place between now and February 5th can or will be promoted. That moneybomb also took place over a month after the last moneybomb, giving people time to save up and recover. This one, if it happens, will be less than two weeks after the "Free At Last" moneybomb.

Even if we have a money bomb which pulls in $1850K, the same amount as the last money bomb, we would still need another $333K per day on the other nine days, 6.01 times more money than we donated today.

This is not pessimism, this is not speculation. Everything in this article is an undisputed fact. I present this to you so that everyone can see the reality of where we are at and in the hopes that you will donate as much money as you can possibly afford and encourage others to do the same!

Please bump this thread.

Thank you and good luck!

sorry but the fundraising must reach beyond the ron paul forums. there are 15,000 of us on the forum, while there's 15 million nation wide. making a post here does no good, we need an effort to reach our entire base.

This is absolutely right. Hopefully looking at these numbers will underscore how incredibly short we are looking to come up. We need to get donations from more passive supporters on top of donating everything we can ourselves. The two things we need are: lots and lots of DONATIONS and lots and lots of PRECINCT LEADERS. Reach outside of these forums.

We need a dedicated group of people to make the MoneyBomb viral.

Where do think that effort starts?

You know people, go call them.
