Tea Party 07 - Ron Paul for President Mass Donation Day

Last time people reached unprecedented amounts, starting now people hope to reach something new. It's really cool even if you don't like him, its basically a social experiment.

Broke all records.

On Nov. 5, which was Guy Fawkes Day, a symbol of rebellion in British history, Paul hauled in $4.3 million in 24 hours -- the most money raised online by a candidate in a single day. Today, the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, the day that helped spark the American Revolution, Paul's Web-savvy, intensely loyal supporters planned another "money-bomb." And by 6 p.m. EST, the "Paulites" had raised $4.1 million from more than 30,000 donors, bringing the Texas Republican's fundraising total this quarter to $15.8 million. And counting.

Edit; That article is rather old, in only hours several million dollars were raised. Amazing.

Earlier today on Ron Paul's website
We are close to making history. In November, we mentioned that the all-time, single-day primary fundraising record is John Kerry’s $5.7 million in 2004. At this hour, Ron Paul stands at $5.4 million.

This article mentions nothing, at least what I saw about the specific record being broken, but I believe it has as Plainsman posted, if anyone has an article, seeing as the record was only broken hours ago, you should post it.

Here, a live graph for those interested.

Arlington (VA) and Austin (TX) - The Ron Paul campaign has done it again, bringing in their second and largest ever "Money Bomb" via Internet donations. On November 5, 2007, in honor of the anniversary of Guy Fawkes Day, some Ron Paul supporters unaffiliated with the Ron Paul 2008 campaign decided to give Ron Paul a monetary boost. On that day, over 37,000 Americans donated $4.3 million dollars in a single, 24-hour period. And yesterday, December 16, 2007, the 234th anniversary of the 1773 Boston Tea Party, the same organizing group helped over 25,000 first time donators, and an undisclosed number of repeat donators, raise over $6 million in one 24-hour period. The previous record for single-day donations came from John Kerry's $5.7 million in 2004.

What happens to all this money when the nomination goes to one of the other guys?

They have a couple options. They can donate it to a charity or try, use it for upcoming elections, or blow it all before that time comes (what most people would do).

I donated $50 yesterday but it was 11 PM and I missed the cutoff since I'm in Arizona.

The sad part is that the mainstream media isn't taking him seriously.

6 Million Dollars baby!

I only donated $10. I'm poor.

But it's very cool how big Ron Paul is. He scares the media and the republican party, it's great.
