Today is the day for the big donation drive...even if it's just a few bucks you should definitely show up and chip in if you can afford it.
The numbers look pretty strong.
Spread the word!

I'm not a Ron Paul supporter - I like some of his ideas, but not most. I don't want him to be president.
I am seriously dissatisfied with the war, with the erosion of civil liberties and increasingly powerful executive, and with the completely lame selection of candidates in both parties, so I've donated a few bucks purely as a protest - if Ron Paul can bring his ideas into the public debate, and if we can force some recognition of our high level of overall dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in politics, that will be worth my money.

that's pretty much why I support him. I've heard some things about his trade polic that seem a little weird, but don't really care.
All my presidential and governor votes tend to be protest votes anyways. Maybe one day enough people will vote their concious to where we will have to change the election system to recognize other parties and allow runoff voting of some kind.
I'm voing ron paul in primary, and then we'll see at the general election... either write in paul or go with the libertarian.
Eventually the dems and repubs gotta see the amount of votes their losing due to disatisfaction with the current equivalencies between them. Some day...

now over 3 million! "His campaign said his 12-hour total was $1.9 million — what they said was the most successful online fundraising day of any candidate in either party this year, and the most successful of any GOP candidate ever. (John Kerry holds the one-day record, raising $5.6 million on July 29, 2004, during the Democratic nomination convention.)"
I hope the MSM gives him a little coverage on the results today.
Love to see him pass up Kerry’s record!

No way.
I should have taken a picture of my face as I was reading this thread.
I'm estatic. That MSNBC article was very favorable. I'm glad reality is proving my outcast I posted the other day wrong.

Who are you voting for? Is there another candidate that is more suitable for your preference?

Yeah I don't think anybody would have thought he'd raise that much in 24 hours, I sure as hell didn't either.

If only the Shroomery would have donated that .8 remaining.

Well, let me tell you something, if the funds were diverted into politics, Ron Paul would instantly be the top-tier candidate.
Seriously though, I don't think there is that much profit involved.

His site reflects slightly different numbers....35,000 donors and 3.7 million...but it could be out of date.
most news sources are reporting more.
unfortunately he's still not getting much coverage on the front pages of the major news sites.
he's a text only link on Foxnews.com

They're trying to, but as I understand it, the Free State Project is taking a while to really get in gear.
