Saturday money bomb thread.

[CasualApathy]

We are now officially in Money-Bomb territory. Early bird gets the worm.

Let's make it a day to remember.

Bring a smile to Ron's face before the big debate.

I was under the impression that participants in this are supposed to make their donations between 1 and 2 PM EDT.

I can't do that because I will be at a company picnic and offline. Mine will probably go in around 11:00 AM.

This will be fun to watch

[SouthernGuy15]

Please donate to the campaign ASAP! We must reach the goal of another 430K to spread the message of liberty!

[Bergie Bergeron]

I'd like to see the original thread (or website or whatever) for this, can anyone link it here please? :)

[jb4ronpaul]

Come on everyone- let's make a big bump on Chowda's charts!

I'm wondering if we can put in a "project code" for this on the donation page?
Perhaps something like "MB1", since this is the first Money Bomb, and "V" for the November 5th drive ( http://www.thisnovember5th.com/ )?

We'd probably need permission from the official campaign to do this, but it would be fun to see donations tagged by this just to see how successful this is.

[SouthernGuy15]

It's almost time!

[Kacela]

[Ozwest]

[Pride]

[Ozwest]

That's cool!

[chowda]

no, you're fine.. there's no official code or anything... just an idea to let the campaign know where the money is coming from.

[jgmaynard]

Ohhhoohhhh!!!! Thougggghhtttttt......

Ron ALWAYS gets an upburst of donations right after a debate, and there is a debate tonight! Could make for a vvveeeeeeeerrrrryyyyyy good day....

I just put "MB" for a project code - they'll figure it out. :O)

JM

[wgadget]

The debate is tomorrow night.

[Ozwest]

Keep giving that graph the vertical bump!

[CasualApathy]

There is still 30 min of bombing left to do.

[frasu]

Is this going against the broadcast donation? or that is counted as separate?

[chowda]

it's all the same.

[ronpaulitician]

I couldn't really afford it right now, but $50 has been bombed ;)

[drew1503]

I threw $ 50.00 myself. Freedom!

[Kacela]

t looks like its combining all the donations coming in at once... probably 10 at a time?

[damijin]

Almost 50k!!! PUSH IT!

[csen]

Granted it coincided with the campaign email, but it looks like about $30k for the money bomb hour -- nice work everyone.

[Pride]

Wow, thats like $25 000 so far!

[jgmaynard]

It looks to me like we got about $31,500 for the one-hour main money bomb.

1:00 $1,320,458.16
2:00 $1,352,002.00

7 minutes late... but I did it :)

[CasualApathy]

Great job everyone! We are kicking it into overdrive!

[cjhowe]

Is this right?

http://ronpaulgraphs.com/last_days_average.png

No, they turned off the donor numbers feed.

[steph3n]

about the donation meter, that average doantion size was because they had changed the feed system on the website, then Dan had to manually sync it up when he awoke this morning.

[Ozwest]

This is a great way to donate!

[jake]

total raised today: $62,930 :)

YOU CANT BUY OUT FREEDOM

Everything on RonPaulGraphs.com dealing with the number of donors is FUBAR... they turned off that number so it's stuck at the last value at around 2am... sorry... hoping they fix it soon.

I have added markers to the october 20th graph showing start/end of money bomb and when the fundraising email went out.
