Millions A Month For The True Small Gov't Campaign The Ron Paul Campaign

Money is the life blood of a campaign. If you want Ron Paul to get his message out, each of us must do the most important thing we can do for this campaign. We must donate to his campaign and ask others to do the same ! Big money is needed to win this primary election. As reported in The Tampa Tribune ( Later Primaries Meant More Wiggle Room In the past, lesser-known candidates could use a win or even a good showing in one state to build momentum and generate fundraising for the next battle.Now a score of states, including Florida, are moving their primaries or caucuses to the first Tuesday in February. As a result, candidates will have to campaign in many states at once. That means they will have to raise enough money for a multistate campaign before the primary season begins - during this calendar year. Estimates vary, but one figure is widely cited: "You've got to be able to raise $100 million," Martinez said. "If you don't do that, you can't play." Some call this development unhealthy, noting that some past presidents - John Kennedy, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are the ones usually cited - might not have even won their nominations under a front-loaded system.Carter rose from relative obscurity through the primary system.Clinton benefited from an early Florida straw poll, which put him among the top contenders, and a second-place finish in New Hampshire. But he didn't become the front-runner until Super Tuesday, March 10, 1992, which included half a dozen Southern primaries. In the 2008 race, three Democrats have dropped out even as the race is getting under way: former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, who were Buckhorn's favorites, plus former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack.All three tended to attract centrist or conservative Democrats."The reality is that Obama, Clinton and Edwards suck all the air out of the room," Buckhorn said.
Vilsack specifically cited primary front-loading."With other states moving up the calendar, the premium on money became more compelling," he told reporters. "At the end of the day, it's not about hard work or effort or good ideas; it's about money. We just didn't have enough time to talk to enough people to raise the resources.)
As reported in USA Today the former prosecutor from NYC is in the process of attempting to raise $100 million. Clinton raised over $1 million on the net last week. Richardson raised $2 million at one event. Romney has raised $3 million in Utah alone.
It will take alot of money to win, but the money can be raised for Ron Paul also. Federal Law states an individual may give $2300 per federal election. You may give this amount before the covention and this amount after the convention to the nominee. Some of you out there can give this to the Ron Paul campaign right now (today). Do it !! Some of you have a spouse or lover who can give this much also, Do it ! Some of you might not have that much to spare, but you can give $230 per month for ten months or $115 for the next 20 months. Do it !!! What ever you can spare per month do it! Ask friends, relatives and co~workers etc.to donate also.
Don't give until it hurts, GIVE UNTIL IT FEELS GOOD !!!!!!
Ron Paul will take the message as far as we finacially support him to carry it, all the way to the convention and hopefully on to the White House. He will be out there for each of US that support him. Let's DO IT !!!
Go to: Ron Paul.org and DONATE today. While there, go to his congressional campaign site and check out the campaign store and his radio ads, etc. They can put out some good professional ads if we support him with the money so he can get the ads before the public.
The big money mentioned above may seem daunting to some of you. But look at it this way, if just 45,000 people out of 280 plus million people in the U.S. (just 45,000 now) gave Ron the maximum contribution he would have well over $100 million. Enough to bypass the national media if necessary and advertise directly to the people.

>>>>***** $230 per month for ten months to rescue your nation. It's WELL WORTH IT !!!! Will you please start today???!!!!****
