Ron Paul Raises $6 Million in One Day (12/17/07)

Candidate has most successful fundraising day in American political history

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."

Congressman Paul will be campaigning in Iowa today and will be holding a press conference at 12:45 pm at the Des Moines Marriott in the Des Moines Room.

curious though, I 'keep' seeing liebermans endorsement of McCain all over the place - scant mention of this US record setting event - from this wacko, kook, freak with 20 supporters in a basement.

Analysis- GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul raised 6 million dollars yesterday breaking Jim Kerry’s record of 5.7 million. Ron Paul has now raised more money in a single day than any other presidential candidate in history, and this is before he has even won a single primary.

Counting the 6 million from yesterday Ron Paul has raised 18.2 million dollars in this quarter from over 120,000 donors. Put in perspective media darling Mike Huckabee’s struggling campaign has raised only 1.2 million dollars this month. Paul’s campaign if it hits 20 million by New Year’s Eve has a shot at raising more cash than Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama as well in the fourth quarter.




Yesterday’s ‘Tea Party’ was orchestrated by grass roots organizers not connected with Paul’s campaign. The event commemorated the Boston Tea Party and at the same time was a protest of the Federal Reserve’s inflation tax. Organizers are planning similar events each month leading up until the general election.

While Ron Paul’s opponents are going broke, Paul is just starting to gain momentum and shows no signs of slowing down. Ron Paul’s issue orientated campaign promoting the theme of peace, freedom, and prosperity, is winning.

Ron Paul has emerged the Republican frontrunner despite media censorship. Media outlets that state otherwise are not being honest. The idea that a media generated polls should somehow be more important than grassroots fund raising generated by thousands of donations is absurd.

Ron Paul’s campaign should demand equal time on all networks or simply advertise elsewhere

Paul’s campaign if it hits 20 million by New Year’s Eve has a shot at raising more cash than Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama as well in the fourth quarter.

And thanks to the liberal control of the media, Dr. Paul will never get the air time nor the publicity he deserves.

I agree he will never get the attention he deserves, but not because the media is liberal - just the opposite.

This media is decidedly one-world, globalist in it's agenda. He has supported or kept quiet about everything this President has done. Oh, there have been a few questions to give the appearance of a media, but it is really a corprotist propaganda machine.
