The campaign is fixing the donation problem with the website right now; the web team is working frantically on it!

If you would like to donate to the Money Bomb today you can either:
1- Hold off until the problem is resolved
2- Call HQ at 703-563-6620 and ask to donate
3- e-mail donations@RonPaul2012.com


PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE CAMPAIGN TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THEY ARE FULLY AWARE!


Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

I'm just hoping people don't think they've donated when it hasn't gone through (the ones not as rabid as us). If it gets resolved quickly enough, things should be okay.

Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately, this will definitely impact the total. The good news is that it just pisses off even more and makes us want to work that much harder!

Can you all post up a message/warning on the main site until this is fixed?

The total that matters is the overall total, not the daily or moneybomb total. Try and keep that in perspective and make sure that whenever you see other people down about technical problems, you cheer them up. No negative nancies... we're trying to win a damn election, not a one day fundraising total contest with ourselves... whether the money comes today or some other day, just as long as it's there in time to run the ads we need to run, and get Ron Paul on the private jet and the Fiji water haha

What's the issue? Are we being spammed?

we were last time. Don't know yet.

They might extend it at the other end to make up for downtime, but it cuts into the excitement even so. People get up a head of steam and it builds on itself. And media will be able to report that at X o'clock Y was received when the donations just were frustrated.

There would be no problem handling this sort of volume if they accepted Bitcoins (http://www.bitcoin.org)...

My donation from earlier (when the web was hung up) just posted to my credit card as a pending payment.

Why do I get a feeling some people donated 4x as much as they planned as they kept hitting the submit button :P
