The swell of financial support is no accident, and is the result of an online effort started two months ago by some of Paul's fans, Benton said. The site, Remember The 5th Of November, encouraged giving to Paul's campaign on the day that marks one year to go until the election and, as fans of English history will know, the anniversary of Guy Fawkes' foiled 1605 plot to blow up Parliament – an incident also referenced in the graphic novel and film "V For Vendetta."
Benton assured CBSNews.com, however, that Paul has no designs on blowing up Congress. "We might like to tear down the Department of Education, but we can do that very peacefully," he said.
This may not be the only day this quarter that Paul sees his coffers swell – supporters are already planning a "money-bomb" on Veterans' Day.

The word's already getting out on November 11th. It probably won't be this big, but judging by the number on Ron Paul's site, this is still going to be big because there's a lot of newbies who will donate and they might bring some newbies of their own.
