America, the Doctor will free you now.
Seeing how many views this thread is getting, I think it would be a good idea to correct the errors in the OP. You could start with the first paragraph. "I" is always capitalized (and there are 4 more occurrences of this error in the post). You've misspelled "Pawlenty". Learn the difference between "then" and "than" and use the correct word. Parentheses go right before or after the words they enclose, rather than separated by a space.
In paragraph two: Sentences require subject and object. "Anyone who described their employer as military" isn't a complete sentence. Commas go right after the word they follow, not before the following word. "Breakdown" is one word, not two.
In "Paul does not beat total donations of all other candidates combined, however hes still comes in double the Republican's combined and #1 out of all candidates", the apostrophe is misplaced in "Republican's" and there's an extra "s" in the 13th word.

I also think it would be a good idea to parse the .fec files rather than just simply rely on the employer summary data. If someone describes their "employer" as "retired", and then describes their "occupation" as "military officer", then that will only show up as "retired" on the employer summary data. So you'll miss some contributions from vets.
For instance, I found one who lists his employer as none and lists his occupation as Retired US Army
again, I found someone describing their employer as "USA" and describing their occupation as U.S. Marine
I agree, I'll be using it, you can bet.
Great to see!
I can post this on a major conservative news outlet if I can get it from a reputable source (I love RPF, but my boss won't let it be published if not from the campaign or a "real" news site.
Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.
What others do pales beside what YOU do.

Not good enough. Seriously...this will become big news if I can get a good source!
Run with it...
This should be pounded over and over and used in the debates...
Something like: "Would you trust the United States Military to choose the next President? If you do then vote for me because I recieve more donations from active military members then all these other candidates combined"
BAM! Rinse... Repeat
can you tell your boss you did your own "investigative reporting" and post an article about the numbers that you find?
Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito
Yes, I can do that. Can someone post the best numbers we have in one post here? Is the OP 100% accurate?
I need a real source. Not for 2008. For the numbers in the OP.
The source is in the OP:

CONTRIBUTIONS BY EMPLOYER
RON PAUL 2012 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE INC.
I remember last election when this was pointed out, neocons responded by saying "anyone can say they're a member of the military. Paul supporters are lying about their occupations to make him look better." I suspect they'll do the same here.
Thankfully, I think that excuse will play a little thin with many people today. I know it's hard to believe, but it is possible the servicemen and women may be just as tired as the endless wars as everyone else outside the so called "intellectuals" and foreign policy "realists." Who would have thought?
the link i gave you is a story on the houston chronicle from a couple days ago, not 2008.
also the weekly standard has already put up a piece poo-pooing ron's military support.

FYI you could add another $250 to RPs total for last quarter and as much from yesterday's moneybomb. My dad has donated that much and he is retired military but wrote down consultant as his current employer. I'll tell him to switch it up in the future.
Campaign put out a PR today

Dr.Paul mentions military donations in this PBS interview from today !
Mr. Kokesh
Those real enough sources for your boss
Ron Paul needs to tout this in advertisements.
"That's one thing about freedom; you have to tolerate the nonsense too." - Ron Paul
I took the info, combined it with a snip from a Gallup poll and made it into a "news" bulletin of sorts.
It's late and I'm bored, figured...what the hell:

For some reason the scribd version doesn't look as clean as my original.

Think about this for a second... Adam used my graphs in his RT segment, both the current graph and my graph from 4 years ago. In addition to that, my blog post which features the same graph was spread well through facebook and such. After we did our work here, the MSM did pickup the story and it did spread well.
What we are doing here does make a difference!
Everyone keep up the good work.
We are WINNING!

Can we get over 2000 "likes" on the Veterans for Ron Paul Coalition?

Awesome! We should be screaming this from our rooftops =)
How many Republican voters are even remotely aware of this, I wonder?
Rand Paul is in the top 1% of US Senators.
Probably not THAT many but we need to get the word out: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2011/07/2...from-military/
