LESS than $10,000 to go to $300,000 on DAY TWO!!

[hard@work]

GOGOGOGO!!! Almost broke $300k and there's less than an hour left to get that last $10k in !!!


edit:


for those of you just tuning in, we broke $300,000 in donations in less than 1.5 days. To put that into perspective, the "top tier" candidate John Edwards started his donation drive 5 days ago and has barely topped over $400,000. We were able to do 3/4th of that amount within less than 1.5 days. And the momentum has just started, as many of us have yet to see the drive or call / email our friends!

Although we were roughly $500 short of hitting the forum goal of 12:00 AM EST at $300,000 it is debatable that the margin of error on the time was off by 10 minutes. Either way, it is still well under one and one half of a day - amazing!!

Remember, no matter what your television tries to tell you - they cannot hide, mislead, or lie about your donation! This cannot be ignored.

Nice Steve!! and Mrs. Steve!!

[rajibo]

I am absolutely amazed. My money isn't even in there yet.

I was skeptical that we'd even reach 1787 last week. I am so happy to have been proven wrong.:)

[libertythor]

Ever since the myspace donor campaign started, many more contributions have been coming in from large metropolitan areas. :)

[Zydeco]

This is exciting as hell...will we hit 300K by midnight EST? I'm not going to bed until I find out.

[ghemminger]

Thank You!!!! FOR LIBERTY!!!

[stevedasbach]

Nice Steve!! and Mrs. Steve!!

In case you see us at a RP event, "Mrs Steve" goes by "Libby". :)

[Zydeco]

And since this only started yesterday afternoon, we are hitting 300K in 1 1/2 days.

Definitely on pace for a mil!

[Ozwest]

After midnight we're gonna let it all hang out... After midnight it's gonna be peaches and cream... We're gonna cause talk and suspicion... Create an exhibition... Find out what it's all about... After midnight...

I hope we break 300K by midnight. I've already donated all I can afford to until Friday. :-(

I am really surprised at how much RP's been able to raise. This is roughly 150,000 dollars a day.

If he were to keep it up, we'd be able to break 1 million by sept 30.

[anewvoice]

Welcome...and I agree wholeheartly - once in a lifetime guy and once in lifetime oportunity.....

Undoubtedly, Ron Paul is THE one chance for my generation to make this big of a splash.

Of course, this past 6 months has probably created an entire new breed of Ron Paul Liberty loving politicians!

Hurry people. Dr. Paul really needs our help. We should spare no expense. I have already sold my house and all of my stocks in the name of liberty. I am currently living in my car, but I figure I can get by with eating muffin tops for a little while, but I did keep a pistol in my glove compartment to defend my property. Do you know the new slogan that Nike uses? Leave nothing! That's what we should be doing with all of our income. I have and I lead by example. Spare no expense people. Now is not the time to get cheap! Dr. Paul needs all of our money and if you have to sell all of your assets in order to donate then you should do it. If he doesn't win the government will take it all away from you anyway in the form of higher taxes so you might as well go all out. Now let's get to $300,000 in the next 10 minutes!

[RPFever]

Wow!

Someone just donated $1000 there - Way to go!

I had my doubts just a few minutes ago - now we only need $1550 in 6 min!

You guys and all the supporters nationwide did it, $300,000 by Midnight EST.

$300,000 exceeded only 3 minutes late. You have to take into account the people that were scrambling to fill out the form at 11:57...or worse...looking for that credit card.

This really is amazing. We're 60% on our way to the 7 day goal in 2 days and 2 minutes! $1,000,000 is a realistic goal for the week! That will be one hell of a statement!

[Zydeco]

I know...thermometer = life

[Cowlesy]

The campaign needs to ad a message to that graphic that is bombastic and inspiring. Have Ron give a comment about how amazed he is about the determination and generosity of his supporters that is demonstrated by their ability to raise funds. Obviously he knows this, but it will serve to motivate those who are more passive supporters

This will only serve to motivate more folks to make an incremental donation.

[singapore_sling]

You guys realize we're on par to raise one fifth of last quarters total in a WEEK.

[Zydeco]

Money is still pouring in, I have a feeling things will continue to pick up and that we will hit $600,000 before midnight of the day after tomorrow. Great work everyone!

I think we'll hit 500 K by midnight tomorrow EST, meeting the goal with 4 full days to spare! And then we're going for 7 digits. :D

[EvilEngineer]

It's even better than that singapore, we're on par to raise 60% of last quarter's total in a week! We've done 300 K in 36 hours, we have 120 hours left, ergo we're on pace to make about $1.3 mil, just online, just this week!

[anewvoice]

Weren't we at 92k midnight last night? If so, wouldn't that be 200k in one day? That has to be a new online record for Dr. Paul!

yes?

Just everyone chill let's remember the original goal! RP supporters are spent - we need new blood badly!

[Ron Paul Fan]

It's taken John Edwards 5 days to raise $421,213. It's taken Ron Paul 2 days to raise $301,048. We should have him passed sometime on Thursday if we keep our current pace. Edwards wants to raise $1,000,000 in 10 days. I say we can do it in 7! Who's with me?

[Cowlesy]

Giuliani supporters donate money because they see he is the frontrunner in the polls.

Paul supporters donate because they believe so strongly in Ron's message they would donate a kidney if they felt it would help him get elected. Our supporters are 10,000x as passionate.

Ron's supporters truly love America, love his message and are more than willing to sacrifice blood and treasure to further the campaign.

Does anyone here honestly think any supporters are willing to lay it all on the line to support Rudy Giuliani??????? Are his supporters willing to give up some luxuries or any seemingly small sum of money ($25) to help the Giuliani campaign? One of the best part about Ron's campaign is that you know when you give up $25 which is a huge sacrifice to a lot of folks, that you trust that Ron's campaign will spend it very wisely, and treasure your sacrifice---not blow it on a retarded consultant that isn't necessary.

That's why we'll be satisfied with our Q3 fundraising. Because people will give that extra bit knowing full well the campaign truly cares and treasures your contribution.

We are all part of something special here.

[BrianH]

$1000 in just under last 5 minutes= $12K per hour

[Zydeco]

Just everyone chill let's remember the original goal! RP supporters are spent - we need new blood badly!

That's a good point...we need to digg this tomorrow, get the word out, get news coverage to create a bandwagon effect, hit up our friends and family...we can do it! This will increase exponentially!

Long live the thermometer revolution!!!

[misconstrued]

If we can reach $1 milllion in a week the MSM will not be able to ignore us any longer! I very well may be maxing out this week....

I updated the front of the thread in case this gets any bigger. I was going to creat a new "yay we hit 300k!" thread but ... heh this one already blew up.

;-)

So happy right now to be a part of this guys. And happy to be with you all online on them intertubes doing that interdonatin!!

[RPFever]

Time for some Math folks...

RP just got ~$300,000 in about ~1.5 days.

That's ~$200,000 per day!

Take that to a typical quarter that has ~90 days and he's raising money at the $18,000,000 level. This beats all the Republicans in money raising speed and most of the Dems.

But now consider this:

- This is just Internet donations (does not include mail-in or telephone)
- These are just " the people's " donations. RP does not take special interest money or lobbyist money.
- RP only has about %15 to %20 name recognition. The other big ones have closer to %70 - %95.

This is the ultimate underdog story.

I'm with ya. I'm firing off emails now offering to match any donations friends and family make.

I also like seeing the names and cities of donors. Reminds you that these are real fellow Americans giving, not just digits on a screen.

This is a revolution!

$18.0 million is unreasonable.

$3.0-$4.0 million will make me go "WOOHOO!"

Be sure to keep in mind that this forum will probably shut down during the debates. :(
We are going to have to find another place (perhaps www.ronpaulforum.com ?) to congregate and cheer each other on.

But yeah...Ron Paul always gets a boost during/after debates! :D

[RPFever]

$18.0 million is unreasonable.

$3.0-$4.0 million will make me go "WOOHOO!"

Of course $18 mil is unreasonable - I said this is the speed at which he is raising today - without all the benefits the others have.

In actuality, expectations are that he will raise $3 mil - perhaps (upper limits here) $4 mil WITH the $1 mil boost.

If we get anywhere past $3.5 mil this quarter, I will be stoked - considering summertime is the slow period for donations.

[speciallyblend]

already 300,000 WOOT WOOT ,keep it going everyone,this is freakin sweet

[1000-points-of-fright]

Just stop and think about how impossible raising this much would be without the internet. I'm sure just having paypal as an option has helped immensely.

Why cant we get a damn fundraiser going to get a better server for this site? This is our INFORMATION HUB. ITs extremely important that the site is functioning correctly.

All we know is that last quarter's numbers have been exceeded. It could be 6 million for all we know.

[tekkierich]

Well one less guy will be constantly refreshing this forum Thursday. I am a lucky dog that has tickets. Trust me, RP will be well represented in the audience.

[JoshLowry]

Why cant we get a damn fundraiser going to get a better server for this site? This is our INFORMATION HUB. ITs extremely important that the site is functioning correctly.

It's most likely coming soon...

It usually crashes when around 500 people come on at once. We have been looking at solutions for the past 12 hours and will be working on it tomorrow as well.

ANYway we can get a statement from HQ about the performance tommorrow morning?

Just tell me you're on dedicated hardware. If not, get that donation button up. We need this site up during the debates if we can. I'll definately help myself. Heck, I'm sure if you guys would let us the community would probably build a tier 1 datacenter for just this website haha ..

Post any homemade literature here for slimjims, business cards, flyers, etc.... Please

I want to pick the best for the target audience. There will be English and Spanish copies.....I will do the translating.

There are religous tracts handed out daily just outside of the pedestrian entrance to Mexico in San Diego. This means that it is a safe place to do this.

With tourists from all over the US walking by, its an opportunity that can't be missed.

[Zydeco]

Thanks, Josh! This site is awesome. Jeez, it's becoming my life!! Not really kidding...

we just passed $1000 in 12 minutes so we've slowed to $5K per hour. But should be able to pass $500K by Thursdays debate. That's 45 hours away need $4,400 per hour.

softlayer.com is my strong recommendation. I'd donate a server to ya but at the moment i'm having trouble knowing if i have an extra at the moment due to recent increases in projects. I'll definitely let you know the moment one opens up. All my servers can support at least 5k online members.

[libertythor]

I am going to bed. If 50,000 dollars are raised between now and 8AM EST tomorrow will be set.

No way -- we're going to hit half a mil by midnight tomorrow EST, I guarantee it! That will hit our 7-day goal in 2 1/2 days. :D

That's actually who we are using. I think it's a software problem.

[Eli]

if you need help figuring it out, let me know.

[RadioDJforPaul]

I was watching the meter at 12am to see if we could get over the $300,000 hump. Missed it by a couple of minutes, but close enough. Guys this truly is amazing. I cant wait till those quarter numbers come out. The MSM is going to be SHOCKED!

We're approaching $400,000. I'm not sure if we can make it to $500,000 tonight, but I know we can make it to $450,000 and stay on par with the past 2 days. We will definitely reach the goal on Thursday sometime and still have the rest of Thursday and the weekend to reach another goal. Keep donating and we shall be rewarded.

[ThePieSwindler]

I'm trying to time my donation for a special number, almost there. :D

make sure to donate a divisor of that number to hit that number.

[Santana28]

Toshiro is my Hero! LOL

We should all pitch in and get the person who gets it over $500k a special gift

[m4ff3w]

So has Edwards raised $200k in the time that we raised $100k?
