Here's mine:

TeaParty kick-off: $25
First million: $10
Second million: $10
Third million: $10
Fourth million: $10
Pass November 5th: $25
Fifth million: $10
Sixth million: $10
Pass single day record (6.2): $25
Seven million: $10
Eight million: $10
Double last tea party (8.4): $25
Nine million: $10
Ten million: $50

Total: $240

The idea is to give as the total rises and to go higher than you would have as others do. Note: you probably shouldn't give all of these separately, but calculate your total by them anyway. You can use the same ratio for yours.

Milestone: 2.5x
Million: x
Mega-milestone: 5x

Just pick your 'x' and go from there!

I am going to donate $100 every 3 hours until I reach $800 for the day and max out.

It's actually better to donate it all at once. Each credit card transaction costs a certain amount to the Ron Paul campaign. It'd probably save them money on the transaction costs to do just one big donation.

Give it all in one chunk or you're throwing money away.

By holding back until later you are hurting the total donations that are brought in.

If you are going to donate please donate now.

Yah, guys this isn't like some game or something. Just donate it now. The higher it is now, the more people will be willing to commit. If you wait, so will everyone else.

I think the point of donating in increments is to help keep the wheels spinning all throughout the day, but please do note that if you're donating online, there is a transaction fee for each donation. Like the old saying: "Better to buy in bulk." :)

Please just give it all the first time. for 2 reasons

1. It reduces the credit card company's cut

2. A larger total will be broadcast in any news appearances throughout the day.
