ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Congressman Ron Paul’s presidential campaign had a record fundraising day yesterday.



In a 24-hour period on December 16, the campaign raised $6.026 million dollars, surpassing the one-day record of $5.7 million held by John Kerry.



During the day, over 58,000 people contributed to Dr. Paul’s campaign, including 24,940 first-time donors. Over 118,000 Americans have donated to the campaign in the fourth quarter.



The $6 million one-day total means the campaign has raised over $18 million this quarter, far exceeding its goal of $12 million.



“We have the right message: freedom, peace and prosperity,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder. “We also have the right candidate: Dr. Ron Paul.”

Needs to also mention Kerry's total was after he received the nomination in the general election, and Ron Paul's is before the primaries even start. Then it should say Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate that can win this election.

Really surprised it wasn't there already.

Then it should say Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate that can win this election.

That's extremely biased and not neccessarily true. Not Ron Paul (or his campaigns) style at all.

An excellent and nearly immediate press release. Nobody can accuse the campaign of sitting on their hands on this one. We have given the campaign a very large cache of political gunpowder which they will now ignite upon the MSM.
