what a bummer.

donate!

Some still waiting on paychecks, others out watching football (hopefully recruiting some others!)

some like me are working now and keeping a watch, will give $300 when we hit 900k , along with several others who have pledged the same there.

Somebody did a graph on Q2 numbers. If you looked closely you could see that Saturday and Sunday were the two lightest days for donations. It was posted on this forum, so I will see if I can find it.

We only need 45k to get to 900k. We can do that by tonight, nothing to worry about.

don't worry so much....

remember, the initial goal was 500K and we all thought, at least I did - wow, not sure if we can do that...

so everything now is just icing on the cake.

But you know what is funny, I can see main stream media saying "Ron Paul is floundering! HE couldn't even raise 1million" -- totally ignoring that the goal was 500K!

Anyways, I think we will see ~950K

Actually we were way behind "schedule" as of just four hour ago, we are going to be back on schedule by 4pm Eastern (based on the projections made last night) I think everything is going pretty well.

Tomorrow is going to be huge.

Once we get within striking distance it's just going to flood in.

We only need 1500 in the next hour to be back on schedule for the million mark. We only need 43,000 in the next 9 hours to break 900K today which would be very nice.

We are going to more than break 900K today. I have no doubt in the world that we will more than reach 1 million dollars by midnight tomorrow night.

Where is the $300 @ $900k pledge?

Yeah, everyone wants to donate just about the time we reach 1 million. That is how it went when we were trying for 500,000.

All of a sudden... THE MONEY POURED IN!!!!!

I think this has to have something to do with the new email the campaign sent out.

He needs $4000 an hour to get there now. A few nights ago, it was still $5000+ an hour to make the goal. So even if it does slow down some, it's possible.

I agree with the earlier posters that it will probably pick up speed over $950,000.

Looks like we have a conspiracy of people donating in the last minutes...

Correct, if Bydlak or Paul or Snyder sends an email, you immediately get a bunch of people coughing up a little more.

They're very smart how they use it in that they don't send too many emails, but only when they want to prime the pump.
