Almost at 3 Million! Ron Paul is the candidate for everyone:

Brief Overview of Congressman Paulâ€™s Record:

He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

“…this will move the country a large step closer to electing a libertarian president in the not too distant future.”

Yeah, like next November!

As of 3:25PM EST at $5.3M for the Q, $2.2M for the day.

We’ve beaten Q3 numbers overall so far and are heading towards beating the Q2 numbers today.

Ain’t it fun to make history? :)

The media is terrified of Ron Paul because if he’s elected (should say “when he’s elected’) they will have to start actually reporting “real” news instead of all the government lies and stories about how yet another government agency has been formed that will “positively” influence our lives by reducing our freedoms.

Go, Ron, GO!!!!!

From the Ron Paul campaign;

“You have raised over $2 million so far today, putting us closer to our $12 million fourth quarter goal. This is more than any Republican has ever raised online in one day!

So far in 2008, the biggest day belongs to Mitt Romney. On January 8th, he raised just over $3.1 million.”

We may not beat Kerry’s total one-day haul but we should beat his internet record for a single day and surpass Romney’s biggest day ever.

DIdnt romney raise 6.5 million in one day because it all came from himself?

Whether Paul is able to get the nomination or not, one thing is for sure. With all this cash he will be able to spread a lot libertarian propaganda and change the world. So, keep on donating. It’s all about the message. At minimum, this will move the country a large step closer to electing a libertarian president in the not too distant future.

not to disappoinrt but Romney raised 6.5 million in a day. Not that it matters since Romney’s supporters wasted 6.5 million and we are investing our money wisely.

Thanks Justin – $2 million in the next 20 minutes maybe!!!!

Actually Kerry raised $5.6 million on the day of his acceptance of the DNC nomination. We may not hit that number, but we will definitely hold the record for the primaries. I was wondering how this day would turn out, and so far I haven’t been able to quit smiling.

Kerry raised 5.6 million total for the day. But that was after Super Tuesday

Good info, Art. Do you have any idea what Keery exact 1-day total was? This could be close …

June 30th, 2004, Senator John Kerry collected $3 million that was raised online which set a record for single-day Internet fund-raising and caused the campaign’s computers to crash.

My prediction for the day: $3.3 to $3.5 million.

Hmm…isn’t the author of this piece, Justin Gardner, the one who previously predicted the November 5th event would be a failure?

Oops. Way to try and cover your ass. You just got owned by Ron Paul!
