I just received an urgent alert from the Ron Paul Presidential campaign... It seems that many of us are holding our dollars back in order to donate on the December 16th Ron Paul Tea Party Donation Drive. The only problem with this is, the date is a month away... and much money is needed for ads and expenses NOW!
What follows is the letter I received from Jonathan Bydlak Fund-raising Director of Ron Paul 2008...
*************
"November 20, 2007
During the first few days of October, we announced our fundraising goal for the fourth quarter: $12 million raised by December 31.
But there's more: we need to have spent it by then, too.
If we were to raise the entire $12 million in the last week of December, we would meet our fund-raising goal for the quarter. But Ron Paul would stand little chance of winning the Republican nomination, because that money would have come in too late.
Time is of the essence. You see, we need to raise money well before we plan to spend it. That's because most of the expenditures that we make need to be paid for weeks in advance. For example, we need to buy crucial airtime for the end of December right now.
The sooner we raise this money, the sooner that we can spread Dr. Paul's message - our message - in the early primary states. Time truly is money.
Fact is, we only have about two weeks to raise money for the early primaries.
If you wait a month from now to donate, your money will only be spent after Iowa caucus-goers and New Hampshire primary voters have made up their minds.
We are rapidly running out of time. The Iowa caucus is just 44 days away. New Hampshire is in 49 days. With so much ground to make up, we can't afford to waste a single day.
As a result, we are spending faster than the rate at which we are raising money. In October alone, we raised $2.8 million, but our campaign spent over $3.1 million.
We cannot afford to wait for bursts of press activity. What we need is sustained attention in the news. What better way to do this than by continuing to raise money at a rapid pace now? We need to keep our momentum going.
Help us win in New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina, and Nevada.

What I suggest is that we spread the giving out a bit... Sooo...
For the first time since the Brady Bill was challenged on 10th Amendment grounds and ruled unconstitutional... but only after the institution of insta-check... we find ARMS on trial before the Court once again...
Right now, for the first time since the controversial 1939 ruling in US v Miller, the Supreme court is about to rule on the meaning of the Second Amendment...
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
This is in challenge to the controversial Washington D.C. gun ban...
November 30th will be the 14th anniversary of William Jefferson Clinton, signing into law, the Brady Bill. It mandated a nation wide 5 day waiting period on firearms sales, while a background check was performed on the purchaser, as well as placing the arm and the purchaser into a data base... de-facto registration.
My suggestion is that all Gun Owners and Second Amendment Supporters who are also Supporters of Dr. Ron Paul's presidential bid, donate $100 to Ron Paul's campaign in protest of all firearms laws and abridgments of the Second Amendment which infringe on the right of FREE AMERICANS to keep and bear Arms!
November 30th 2007 shall become...
"Gun Owners of America for Ron Paul... Donation Day"
