RP just called me asking for $10,000,000!!!!!

[Badger for Paul]

So I was sitting at my computer, perusing the wisdom spouted at RP forums, and a telemarketer (who sounds like she is really not too interested in her current task and would rather be watching paint dry) gives me a call saying she is calling on behalf of RP and puts me through to a recorded message from RP asking for $10,000,000 within the next month for an upcoming ad campaign.
$10,000,000 in 1 month!!!!
Think we can do it?
After my donation (I give what I can), only $9,999,990 to go.

10 million in a month? Cake.

[michael6186]

I just got the call too! $10,000,000 is an ambitious goal. I think we can do it.

[bluesc]

This is awesome. They are getting serious now.

[JackieDan]

He gotta be the 10 million dollar man

They better not put a 10 mil up there. I want a SLASH through the 6 after we hit it and then a 16 mil!

[unknown]

Was that really from the campaign?

What a BS process that so much $ is required.

[SwooshOU]

I just got a call too. And I just donated. :) $10 Mil, here we come.

[TheState]

a telemarketer (who sounds like she is really not too interested in her current task and would rather be watching paint dry)


I wonder if it's the same company that does the C4L calls? The people on the calls are terrible.

[braane]

10Mil sounds pretty sexy. Let's get this man some money!

[Lafayette]

RP...Rick Perry?

[Evilfox]

Got the call too, donated 50 to the campaign online. I will do what I can!

[Original_Intent]

Better tell them they need to contact George4Title. I understand he has a billionaire just dying to donate.

[seawolf]

This must be why the Ron Paul Daily Donation Tracker is at $170,850 with 3 hours left until Midnight EST.

Yesterday the Donation Tracker totaled $145,078.

I was wondering why the daily non-money bomb donation total was 500% above the normal $25-30K.....

The Tele-marketing program is obviously working big time!!!

[flightlesskiwi]

out of curiosity, what's the area code of the number that called you all? i refused a call (unfamiliar number and i was grocery shopping) right around the time ya'll were getting calls.

[LibertyEagle]

Ah, hell. Looks like soup for the rest of the month. It's hard for me to turn down the doc.

[tbone717]

Was that really from the campaign?

Not really. The next month covers ad buys likely through the February contests. SC, FL, NV, ME, CO, MN, MO, AZ & MI. There are some pretty large TV markets in those states (Orlando, Miami, Las Vegas, Denver, etc) which requires big bucks to buy 60 second ad spots in prime time.

It's the free market at work.

[MJU1983]

I'll be donating more money tomorrow.

Less than $7k till $6m: https://secure.ronpaul2012.com/

[Okie RP fan]

Let's get to it. I think at least one major money bomb shall be in order.

And, please, for the sake of this campaign, COME OUT WITH A FOREIGN POLICY AD!

I will be sending a $20 check tomorrow. After next week (after book purchases for college and stuff) I will make more donations. But, $20 is all I can do right now.

We've been getting more than 50-60k for a while now. It's kicked into overdrive.

right, plus although Iowa took forever, once it happens these things are going to start rolling pretty quickly.

[heavenlyboy34]

I'm strapped right now, but will donate next month. :cool:

Shits gonna get real!

[Xenophage]

I'm so broke right now.

out of curiosity, what's the area code of the number that called you all? i refused a call (unfamiliar number and i was grocery shopping) right around the time ya'll were getting calls.

It came up as all zeroes on my caller ID. 0000000000

[seawolf]

So this must be the reason why the Ron Paul Daily Tracker is showing over $175,000 raised today which is 500% above a normal on-line non Money Bomb day.

WOW!!! Oh by the way, the RP Grassroots is within $4,000 of matching/breaking thru the $6 Million Goal to Win on the Official Campaign Website....check it out on the www.ronpaul2012.com.

[hb6102]

I hope you all are donating on the campaign site and not giving a random telemarketer your credit card numbers!

[Matthew Zak]

The new money bomb is created.

$10 million by February.

How much is that per week? Per day? Per hour?

We need to break this down.

yeap. Just wait till Obama's 1 billion dollar campaign begins negative ads...

Do we have something from the campaign legitimizing this? I looked to the official campaign website & don't see anything.

Money wins campaigns. I've been saying it for weeks.

TV is the medium everyone pays attention to.

I want to max out, but I donated like about 10 times, and don't remember or have all the screenshots :( I also donated about $300-400 to brochure mailings and NH volunteers. I don't want to go over the limit and get in trouble with tha lao or anything like that, would campaign at least have me in their computer and tell me how much I got left???

[seawolf]

No wonder the Ron Paul Daily Donation Ticker has spiked to $174,808 today!!!! 500% above normal!!!

I've seen others post on the forums that the website let's you know once you try to donate a number that will put you over the limit. It also tells you how much you have left that you can donate.

[skyorbit]

Just got a phone call from Ron Paul too. I gave him $100. If this were last yea, I would have maxed out my credit card, but I'm financially very screwed right now, so I probably shouldn't have even done that, but I did.

[Castrensis]

I won't be donating much; sorry but 2 end of the quarter pushes, 3 money bombs later, and an extra week raising funds for ads in Iowa leave me tapped...

Santorum's Campaign just announced they have taken in over $1.5 million on-line since Tuesday night.

Ron Paul's Daily Donation Tracker has the Campaign at $331,000 in the last two days.

In addition, we just broke thru the 6 Million Dollar Goal to Win that is still on the Official Website. The total is now $6,007,206.11.

It now seems our next Goal is $10 Million by 1 February.

[dante]

Always donate online or call the campaign headquarters listed on the official website. I never ever ever give out personal information to anyone who calls me as any number can be spoofed to caller id.

[Castrensis]

EDIT: Confirmed. Phew.

It's not confirmed that this telemarketing campaign is legit. If you feel compelled to donate, use the website.

[jmdrake]

this was on Facebook... http://www.facebook.com/rp2012. looks square to me.

[groverblue]

Wow, that's a lot. I gave over $700 the last quarter, and we only hit $13M. I might be able to do $500 this month, but that's a tough one.

[The Gold Standard]

This is where money is huge. Now he has to try and hammer several states with ads at one time. We need $322,580 per day to hit $10 million. We really need a strong finish in New Hampshire to boost morale and bring in new donors.

No doubt to buy up all that media time. It only gets worse year after year, and to think this year corporations have unlimited ability to contribute. Try and keep up with that!

That's what I thought too.


I hope you all are donating on the campaign site and not giving a random telemarketer your credit card numbers!

[Crystallas]

Well, because our currency is so overly devalued, I would say, time > money. But good luck to the camp. I maxed out already, but I'll still canvas locally. $10m is a lot.

[jllundqu]

I just threw another fity at the official website after receiving a call from the campaign. I would say the calls are working! Is the 6 million figure in the past 24 hours or total for the quarter?

[jllundqu]

The number that called me also came across as "000000000"

THought it was wierd, but the recorded message from RP was legit. When asked for my donation after the message, I told them I would donate to the official website, which I did.

[Elwar]

I am glad that he called other people too.

I thought I was on the hook for the full $10 million.

I just got back from selling my blood and am $20 closer. I was not sure if I would be able to cover the rest...

:P

[sluggo]

My caller ID said "0000000000". No kidding! I almost didn't take it.

Same here. That's why I answered it!

Same with the 0000000000 number and the really unenthusiastic woman. I actually laughed at how bland she was.

It is never a good idea to pay for anything from ANY unsolicited phone call. Just use the official website, or mail in a check.
