Dr. Paul was campaigning in New Hampshire with his wife Carol and their family when our $1,000,000 goal was reached last night. As the time drew near, they watched on a laptop as the counter reached the $1 million mark. They, along with staff, supporters and volunteers throughout the country then celebrated this extraordinary accomplishment.
Over $1,000,000 raised in seven days for the Ron Paul 2008 presidential campaign. Remarkable!
On behalf of Dr. Paul and every member of the campaign staff: Thank you!!

Lotta “truthers” must have access to mommy’s credit card. I wonder how many put down “military” as their occupation?
Probably from Mitt just for entertainment value.
Amazing what a gun, ski mask and a bit of motivation can do!
Barnum was right on the money................
Good luck RP. You’ll need something to win.
Looks like the million all came from individual, small donations, too. The campaign is reporting that it came from a little over 14,000 individual donations which breaks down to less than $100.00 per donation on average. No special interest or PAC there, just folks who support their particular candidate. I’ll be interested to see how the other candidate’s donations break down once the FEC’s 3rd quarter reports come out.
Yep, a million bucks. And if he'd give it all to me I might think about voting for him.
How much of this is raised by the same people who contribute to DailyK00ks projects?
“Dear Ron, I was in the 99th Airborn Compuny. I was dropt on Iran and caught Sodom, but my republikan genral wuldnt let me catch Obama. We should all come home now. I was also at Gettysberg. I really am in the Army. Really. Here is my $10.00. I don’t know why the card says Mrs. on it.”
It looked better before the Mod changed the title. No comma’s in the figure was a nice touch. Made it look like they had raised one billion. Why not just throw some OOO’s and @@@’s in there too. Hell, monopoly money is better than no money at all. LOL.
I live in a working class subdivision in Harris County Tx, adn I have seen 3 Paul signs already in yards.
He seems to enjoy running for president. I hope he doesn’t decide to run as a libertarian or independent, thereby ensuring another Clinton in the White House.
My stepfather’s name is Ron Paul. He has Alzheimer’s and probably makes more sense than this one does................
Well, at least you now know where the crazies live.........That's what I thought during the '04 election when I saw Howard Dean signs in yards............
That’s a good amount, but it’s only 4 million a month, if they could sustain it, which it doesn’t sound like they can if it was an all-out blitz.
Still, Thompson’s 8 mil sounds big until you realise that’s just over $600,000 a week over the 3-month period (13 weeks).
So congratulations to Ron Paul. If we are lucky, he’s getting money from the left-wing anti-war crowd trying to mess with our race, so it’s a million not availalbe to the democrats.
Now if he’d use the money to actually ATTACK the democrats on the many things he disagrees with them about, instead of attacking republicans on the one or two things he disagrees with US about, we might get something good out of having so many candidates.
Say what you will about 2004, the democrats were smart, they had 9 people and every one drew money from a different group, almost all took matching primary funds, and they used the money to attack Bush.
I see “no war,” “bush lied” and “troops home now” signs, bumper stickes and grafitti all over the place around here too. I’m sure a few of those folks will masquerade as Republicans long enough to put up a Paul sign, too. A few will even believe in small government and the right to bear arms, but most would gag on the idea and vote for Hillary in the general anyway. But they are certain to hold their noses on those issues and put up Paul signs in the meantime.
I saw a Ron Paul sign in PW County, Virginia, at the corner of Rixlew and 234 business.
It’s the first presidential sign I’ve seen.
Someone stuck something to the back of it, it might have been these stickers people are putting on signs in our area when the signs are put in public right-of-way which violates the law.
Sorry all. Pet peaves.
