Towards Freedom!
Today is the 5th of November; the day chosen by a group of Ron Paul supporters to “money bomb” the campaign. I’m not sure where the term originated, but a “money bomb” is when a person or group of people pledge to donate a certain amount to a campaign (or any cause I suppose), on a specific day, and encourage others to do the same. For the Ron Paul campaign it has resulted in noticeable spikes in fundraising which can be seen at RonPaulGraphs.
This money bomb is by far the most ambitious one yet, seeking to get 100,000 people to donate $100 each today, in effect raising $10 million in one day. I think the goal will be far from met. However, I do believe that a significant amount will be raised today. I estimate around $2,000,000, which should be enough to generate some media attention. I wonder how they will spin it though.
I was astonished to check Ron Paul’s website at 7:30 this morning and see that over $500,000 had already been raised since midnight.
If you’d like to be part of this historical event for the freedom revival movement, you can donate to the campaign here.
