Ron Paul supporters donate almost 4 million in 24 hours

Looks like Ron Paul supporters are not just a few people because as you can see from the image taken from RonPaulgraphs.com. On November the 5th Ron Paul supporters donated more the 3.9 million dollars. I am not sure if this is a final number because I am not sure if phone donations are counted in this graph but this definitely includes all on-line donations.

The idea of the November 5th donation day was for 100,000 people to all donate $100 to get a total of 10 million dollars in one day. The goal was very ambitious and almost 4 million in one day is nothing to sneeze at especially since individual donations are capped at $2,300 and couple donations are $4,600. If the same demographics are projected with this donations the average donation would be about $40 which would mean that 100,000 people donated $40 I am not saying I know this to be a fact but I am using previous donations to project these numbers. I personally think the average donation for the day would be $100 or more since the $100 was the asked amount for the 5th.

The 5th of November actually is a celebrated day in England called Guy Fawkes day. You can find more information about Guy Fawkes HERE
The other significance about November the 5th is that the movie V for Vendetta used the Guy Fawkes story as a part of the movie. V for Vendetta is a movie where the government has become oppressive and a the country is in a perpetual state of fear. The fear is a tool that the people in power of the government uses to enact policies for example nightly curfews, roving conversation monitoring and a government controlled media. A fairly well known statement in the movie is "People should not fear their governments, Governments should fear their people".

I was expecting a surge from this campaign but was shocked at the final numbers. I truly never thought that Ron Paul supporters would come out in mass and make a statement with their wallets. I will not make that mistake again I will always try keep a objective perspective but after today I will give the Ron Paul supporters more credit.

Donations for Ron Paul surpass 1 million dollars (Dr. Evil laugh)

Late last night September 29th at about 10:31 pm eastern the thermometer on Ron Paul's website http:\\www.RonPaul2008.com went over the $1,000,000 mark. I was interested and watching the counter went up by more then $4,000 in the last minute. The people have come out and gave Ron's campaign a million in less then 6 days which I think is pretty amazing since according to a e-mail that was sent out by the campaign the majority of the donations are between $5 and $100.

The thermometer flash program from the website which is picture above I believe helped out a ton because when people donated to the campaign they could see their own name flash on the screen and throughout the Internet. I liked watching it to see where the donations were coming from and as you can believe they came from all over from Maine to Florida from Washington to California from Huston to Saginaw. I even noticed people from around the Western NY area. I personally noticed Orchard Park NY, Rochester, and even Wattsburg PA.

After doing some math if people only donated the maximum $2300 that would mean that 435 people would have donated to the campaign to get to the million dollar amount. The thing I really wonder is how many people that donated to the Ron Paul campaign never donated to a political campaign before. I know personally I never handed my money to a politician before unless there was a threat of punishment if I did not hand over the money.

Will the main stream media pick this up?? I really doubt it they seem to do everything they can to ignore Dr. Paul and his campaign. The Ron Paul revolution is picking up speed soon it may be impossiable for the main stream media to ignore the support behind the principles this man.
