Listen... I know there's a lot of controversey around here about whether or not Moneybombing should continue.
Our success in Iowa proves that it worked. If we're to believe that the polls are fairly accurate (not perfectly accurate - they average down about 3.5 percent of what we finished with in Iowa), then look at what the moneybombs did... In addition to funding the campaign and giving us plenty of air to breathe knowing that no matter how we finished tonight, we're funded through February 5th - the other thing that they did was bump our polling numbers. Prior to 11/5, our poll numbers were running about 1-4% in Iowa. In some polls we didn't even register. After 11/5, we were running about 5-7% in Iowa. And then after 12/16, we're looking at numbers that are 7-10%. We finished in 10% - regardless of place in the pile, this is significant, especially in Iowa. It proves that Ron Paul's message sells.
Moneybombs work.
Without them, it's easy for the media to ignore us. Even with them, they try... But they fail, because money talks in politics. They have no choice but to cover us when we're raising money. When we raise money, we raise attention. When we raise attention, we raise percentage points. We give new people the opportunity to get involved in the movement. We supply the campaign with much needed cash.
There are three efforts that I know about right now for a moneybomb. I'm not here to advocate one over the other - I'll let the market decide. But here are the ones that I know about... Get involved! Make it happen! Subscribe to one or more of these efforts. Spread the word!
Or better yet, donate right now if you can spare it. The campaign just picked up its first two delegates tonight. We're players in the game.

None of these needs to "win out" over the others. Just like with Nov. 5th and Nov. 11th, they can all be winners. Subscribe to whichever you think is best and let's do this!
