Ron Paul Fund-Raiser Nets One Million Dollars in Six Days
Paul has one more day left for his current fund-raiser.
by Charles Coughlin
The Ron Paul campaign decided to end the third quarter with a fund-raiser with a goal of raising half a million dollars. To everyone’s astonishment, the fund-raiser shot through the half million dollar goal, and so the goal was raised to one million dollars.
Once again, Ron Paul’s phenomenal grass roots campaign blew by the million dollar mark today –on day six of the fund-raiser with one more day left in September to bulk up his campaign chest. Anyone interested in helping this great patriot can go here to donate.
About three months ago, when Ron Paul’s campaign pulled in front of John McCain’s with more cash-on-hand, the mass media sat up and took notice. Ron Paul has had ten first place finishes in the straw polls. Ron Paul scored 81 percent of the vote in an Alabama straw poll and 72 percent in a New Hampshire straw poll. Paul has had a large number of finishes in the top three in straw polls.
Some people argue that these straw poll results simply reflect greater enthusiasm by the Ron Paul crowd. That Ron Paul’s followers are more willing to take the time to go to a straw poll and vote for him. While this may be true, the tremendous enthusiasm of the Ron Paul supporters demonstrates what a great candidate Ron Paul is.
Ron Paul is a modern day Thomas Jefferson. He would repair all the damage done by the criminal Bush-Cheney regime. He would restore habeas corpus and end warrant-less wiretaps. He would solve the problem of terrorism by ending the Iraq War and creating a neutral, balanced policy for the Middle East.
Opinion polls show that there are two extremely powerful issues dominating the 2008 election, namely the Iraq War and the illegal alien problem. The vast majority of Americans want to end the Iraq War and enforce existing border laws. Only Ron Paul is two-for-two on these extremely important issues.
Ron Paul’s remarkable success at fund-raising will finally allow him to start buying nation-wide commercial time to reach a much wider audience than his highly enthusiastic Internet following. Ordinary Americans will finally get to hear the Ron Paul message without the filtering of the mainstream media. One political observer noted that “To know Ron Paul is to love him.” Ron Paul is an incredible idealist, who deserves the support of all patriotic Americans. It’s high time that the evil neocon cabal is swept out of power and the door to the White House slammed shut in Hillary’s face. Ron Paul is the one Republican candidate who can win in 2008 and he represents a new direction for the Republican Party that leads to peace, prosperity and the preservation of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
