November 5th… The most money raised online for a candidate in one day?
For of those of you who do not know what this day means. It means 1.5 million plus in the bank for a presidential candidate in one day. All of this money will come from online supporters of Ron Paul for their candidates campaign. Why is everybody so fascinated by all of Ron Paul’s grassroots efforts? Because it is so incredibly hard to grasp… Some rejoice, some dismiss, and some just are just plain terrified of his support. 18,000 people getting together for a cause they believe in. 18,000 people donating anywhere from 1 million to 3 million all in one day. This was not set up by the Ron Paul campaign. If you ask me, Ron Paul is not running the majority of his campaign. Ron and his staff are managing only a small fraction of what is going on. If you calculate all the time spent, all the materials donated, all of the free publicity that his supporters have spawned it would amass to an amount that no other 2008 candidate has risen thus far.
I have seen people on various boards dismiss this event in its entirety. Saying that these 18,000 people are all of the supporters Ron Paul has. This sentiment is, I am sure, a result of Fox News, the hucksters, and just about every main stream media report. People can not handle the true vast nature of the Ron Paul campaign. Nobody has ever seen a campaign like this. Nobody has ever seen this many supporters like this. The more and more people witness of the Ron Paul support, the little engine that could, the more and more they get scared.
November 5th was a very ignorant choice by the originators of this effort. Watch
No matter who you support for candidate, take a moment and watch the liberty counter climb (www.RonPaul2008.com) on November 5th 2007. You cannot doubt that Ron Paul has become a viable candidate, in fact much more viable than your standard republican candidate.

Update: as of 12:46 est time $1,665,345 has been raised… Only half the day has passed… will it actually be doubled??? The donation rate has not been slowing down. Truly amazing.

Ummm… I can’t participate because I’m maxed out.
So that means at least ONE more than the 18,000.

THE TIME IS UPON US. WILL THE ANNALS OF HISTORY REMEMBER THIS DAY? WILL WE RAGE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT? REMIND THE GOVERNMENT AND THE MEDIA WHO THEIR MASTERS ARE. Guy Fawkes. Today is a very good day to do this.

Louboutin Shoes is also a must. A handbag is one of the most crucial accessories for any woman because it carries most of her belongings. However, along with being useful, it is equally important for Christian Louboutin Pumps and bags to be durable and stylish. These Christian Louboutin Boots , which are being sold on the website, fulfill all the required expectations from a shoe. The finish of these is as flawless as it could be because of the strict quality control methods that are followed. Not to mention, the excellence of the other materials, which go onto the making of Christian Louboutin Sandals .
