I'm responding.... THIS IS BIG, Folks, go register for a free DIGG account and "vote for" (DIGG) this story.

Naraku - nice job on getting this Dugg - can you post the link to the Digg again, and explain to folks what Digg.com is all about, and why this is so important?

For those who don't know digg is about getting stories posted and having the people decide how important they are. The more diggs, the higher up the story gets.

Over 12,000 people have dugg Ron Paul in the Digg the Candidates section so the fact this story is on the top of Digg is incredibly important. Imagine if those 12,000 decided to donate the $25. It would mean $300,000! Almost as much as has already been raised today!

Make sure more see it and Digg!

Naruku - can you also explain to folks why you didn't create a clickable link in your first post... there is a reason for that, and I think folks ought to know why.

Also, for newbies, can you give a short explaination of what Digg is, and why it's important to keep this on their front page?

And tell them how to join Digg, so they can Digg (vote) on a story like this?

Thanks. :)

Let's all donate at exactly 7PM EST.

It'll be more fun to watch the vertical spike if we all focus the same minute!

Well, the idea is to raise $1 million in one hour, not 60 seconds. ;)

We don't want to crash the server, after all. Doing it all within one hour is a pretty good server test, as well.

I would suggest that you donate SOMETIME within that time period. No need for us to do it all in the first minute.

I'm very curious to see how this 1-hour moneybomb does.

This made it to the front page so fast because it's being dugg by both Ron Paul supporters and Ron Paul haters.

The haters see weakness in a one million dollar power hour and want to exploit it.

Yeah. I want to remind everyone that there is no such thing as NEGATIVE publicity in these types of endeavors.

We have nothing to lose here.

No reputable press is going to report "Ron Paul Grassroots fail to reach a goal that was posted on RonPaulForums.com" - it's JUST NOT NEWS.

We have no downside risk here. Keep it going, folks! :D

We absolutely MUST raise at least one million dollars between 7PM and 8PM! This story has hit the front page of DIGG! Lets prove that we can accomplish this task!

Have you already donated? Then I urge to think of a reason why you can donate again! Can you cut back on some unnecessary expenses? Can you sell an item to make up for what you donate tonight? Perhaps you can dip into your savings account to INVEST in a world without an income tax (replaced with nothing)!

I urge all of you to donate like CRAZY at 7PM-8PM!

Do you have any friends that support Ron Paul? Please call them on the phone and urge them to donate!

Lets make fundraising history tonight between the hours of 7PM and 8PM EST by raising ONE MILLION DOLLARS in one hour!

This goal is on the front page of DIGG and the reputation of the REVOLUTION is riding on this hour being SUCCESSFUL!

hxxp://digg.com/2008_us_elections/1_million_for_Ron_Paul_from_7_to_8_P_M_EST_Today

I urge all of you to please make an ADDITIONAL special donation during this one hour period! If we UNITE TOGETHER and make this happen we will be even CLOSER to reaching 12 MILLION DOLLARS (a month ahead of schedule), will make huge waves in the political arena, and will MAKE POLITICAL HISTORY!

From the deepest part of my heart I plead with each of you to think of a reason why you can dig deep, sacrifice, and make this donation extra-significant! If this was a battle for anything less than FREEDOM and LIBERTY such sacrifices should not be requested. However, this is a battle for the future of ourselves, our families, our loved ones, and our nation!

I dare say without reservation that this once in a lifetime REVOLUTION is worth sacrificing for!

Please participate in this one hour donation period between 7PM and 8PM.

Remember, every dollar donated is another voice confirming loudly...

RON PAUL CAN WIN!

Thank you!
