Rons #2 (US Navy), #3 (US Army), #6 (US Air Force), and #14 (Department of Defense) contributers are US Military.

I found this very interesting because it spells out plain as day who our military supports. Which we already knew he was getting the most contributions from individual military contributers, I really hadn't seen any contributions with corporate numbers.

Raytheon and General Dynamics build missiles; they're big defense contractors. Kind of weird that their employees would donate that much to RP

If Dr. Paul can bring Google and Microsoft together he can bring anyone together :D
