Rand has raised $160,000

[TruthisTreason]

Too bad I don't run the ticker...;)

We are over $160,000 now.... Eyeing One Million!:D

[Michigan11]

Great news... the momentum is building nicely.

Did the money come from the fundraiser?

Yes...

Some had already been added, but the ticker is behind....

Should read... $161,544.04

[Epic]

So the fundraiser was like, what, 30k?

[FSP-Rebel]

It was an Alex Jones bomb. Rand was on earlier, which most are aware of. Though, the site only registers 138k.

[Young Paleocon]

Saweeeeet....Details on the fundraiser? Attendance? Big Names? Old Guard support?

Fundraiser was over 30... maybe 40... I'll have the final total tomorrow. Some donors used the online feature, most didn't.

100 to 150ish turned out (I didn't do a head count)

Working on a utube video.... (no crowd shots, camera guy should have those)

[Epic]

So it sounds like there's a couple things contributing:

1. Alex Jones listener's online donations
2. Fundraiser online donations
3. Fundraiser in-person donations

Nice.

Is there a list of dates that Rand is doing fundraisers?

Smaller type one planned for Saturday.

A few more planned next month in KY, and 3 in TX (Aug 20-23) and one in Nashville that Matt would know about.:D More to come.... Assuming he runs...:eek::eek::p:p:p

Yes, there was a little uptick related to his appearance...;) Alex was great today... no doubt he wants to get Rand to the Senate!

[Imperial]

3 in TX (Aug 20-23)

Do you have anymore specifics on this like location, or would it be better for us all to wait like normal folk? :D

Great news! We need to pimp the hell outta the August 20, 2009 Rand Paul money bomb. I got a good feeling about that day.

I'm e-mailing and leaving YouTube comments.

[Epic]

Is the RevolutionBroadcasting crew gonna be crosspromoting the Rand moneybomb when they do the Peter Schiff Telethon thing?


Also, By the way, someone with the campaign should be reaching out to "niche" groups that just want freedom in their nice. Such as poker players, alternative health community, alternative/organic food community, homeschoolers, marijuana/drug activists, etc.

In all of these communities, there are existing networks and if you can get them involved and contributing that would be good. Just tell them that Rand will do for them in the Senate what Ron does for them in the house.

Rand is looking sharp.

I wonder what the cover charge was...

[ctiger2]

No Doubt! Rand's appearance on the Alex Jones show crashed the server. Alex is currently interviewing Louie Gohmert, Republican U.S. Representative from Texas's 1st congressional district. Alex is doing a hell of a job with great interviews and interviewee's of late.

[TruthisTreason]

I wonder what the cover charge was...

$50 was the cheap seats....:p $2000 for box seats...

[dr. hfn]

any ideas that you have, tell the official campaign!

[itshappening]

Collins, tell Rand to get on Alex Jones every week for the next 3 weeks so Alex can promote the money bomb, he is always helpful.

Good idea.
I also like Alex's proposal to have Ron Paul on to ask for donations for his son on the day of the moneybomb.

But you guys NEED to have a site that can handle traffic without the meter or the entire site crashing.

[Aratus]

MRoCkEd... you do state the obvious! thee be the very apt and pithy voice of experiance...

[rich34]

So Jones is now an ally? lol

I like Jones personally, I'm just poking a little at the people that want the Paul family to disassociate themselves with him. If he could raise 250 some thousand dollars for his own moneybomb imagine how much he could help Rand on top of the political diehards like us donating as well! Run Rand Run!

You're preaching to the choir....

make sure the site can handle the traffic!! order more bandwidth!!

[Matt Collins]

make sure the site can handle the traffic!! order more bandwidth!!I would absolutely have to second this opinion!

[TheTyke]

Me too. If doubling our bandwidth didn't work, we need to get 8X as much - this is the fourth time it's happened, and I believe we lose money every time.... can't afford NOT to have the bandwidth. Jones had some kind of suggestion about it that I didn't understand.

The site hasn't crashed on moneybomb days oddly enough....;)


KNOCK ON WOOD>:o

[Bergie Bergeron]

Sent a couple of messages on YouTube to people writing nice stuff about Ron and all the responses I got looked a bit like this:

Hey thanks for sharing this info with me! I knew about Rand, but I didn't know he was running for senate, i really hope he wins. If there's anything I can do to help or show my support for the Dr. Pauls, please let me know!
