As of this evening, we have $1.45 Million to go to reach the $5 million goal. That is a substantial sum* that will earn us more respect and increase Paul’s electability. However, to win, we need a lot more, and fast. Romney is going to show a big number, in hopes of scaring off opponents. Other candidates will also be boasting something around or above $5 million, including Pawlenty and Bachmann. Cain probably won’t reach that level, according to this Politico article (http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=0E8C1FBC-EAFD-4056-9BA1-5E5131A9D867), but beating him will be essential.
It’s been said, in Paul’s own fundraising emails, that one dollar now is worth five dollars later. It’s true. We need to front-load this campaign: whatever you plan to donate to this race, try to do it now. Then imagine you’ve donated 5 times as much. I don’t recommend dependence on credit cards, but if you have to use one to front-load things now, it might be worth it.
We, the dedicated supporters of Paul at this early stage of the race, should go ahead and exhaust our funds now, rather than waiting and donating here and there throughout the year. Our donations will draw new donors in later. The more we raise, the more viable we are, and the more we raise later.
Stop and think about the wonderful things that could happen if our man won the general, or even just the nomination. It’s bigger than just the office of POTUS. It signals a whole new direction for the GOP and the country. Not only that, but we get to watch the establishment lackeys at the New York Times and the rest of the MSM go bonkers. Wouldn’t that alone be worth it?
I planned on donating a particular amount during the campaign, based on what I thought I could afford, and was going to split it up between all the major moneybombs. Bad idea. I’m donating it all, right now. I hope you will help me front-load the campaign. We’ve got just over 3 days till end of quarter
*Compare to $2.4 million raised in the second quarter of 2007.
