Grassroots fundraising event for Ron Paul
I recently came across a grassroots fundraising event aimed at raising $10 Million bucks in one day for Ron Paul’s campaign (November 5th). The event is described here as:
Please join us this November 5th for the largest one day political donation event in history. Our goal is to bring together 100,000 people to donate $100 each, creating a one day donation total of $10,000,000.
You can subscribe to the cause via feedburner on the site, that is how they are tracking participants. They have some significant work ahead of them if they are going to achieve their goal of 100K participants, as of this posting the number of participants was in the range of 5,600. In any case, these are the type of events that will have to come off to make Paul’s overall goal of $12 Million dollars this quarter. As I have stated previously, Ron Paul’s campaign overall goal is aggressive, but the campaign may have a fighting chance if more of these grassroots events are successful. I was personally planning on donating in November, so I have joined the event.

Thanks for the info. This gives me something else to do other than kicking my cat after seeing Cheney’s latest shit.
[…] it’s November 5th and the grassroots fundraising campaign I had mentioned previously has had significant positive impact to the fundraising goals of the campaign.  As of 2:30 PM […]
Not quite $10 million but $4.2 million in one day isn’t bad.
The era of the individual is here. If one man can do this all on his own (perhaps being the catalyst to change the course of an entire country) there is no limit to the power of the individual in today’s internet dominated world.
Agreed Keith, I think some folks are scratching their heads right about now…
