Forward this message to everyone you know who supports Ron Paul or is even considering him. This is the most important thing you will read during the entire campaign!
For the last two weeks I’ve been telling everyone that Ron Paul needs money sooner, rather than later, since the campaign has to pay for advertising in advance and it takes several weeks from the time the money is spent to get ads on the air.
Today the campaign sent out an email confirming and reiterating this point. This is it, in full:
During the first few days of October, we announced our fundraising goal for the fourth quarter: $12 million raised by December 31.
But there’s more: we need to have spent it by then, too.
If we were to raise the entire $12 million in the last week of December, we would meet our fundraising goal for the quarter. But Ron Paul would stand little chance of winning the Republican nomination, because that money would have come in too late.
Time is of the essence. You see, we need to raise money well before we plan to spend it. That’s because most of the expenditures that we make need to be paid for weeks in advance. For example, we need to buy crucial airtime for the end of December right now.
The sooner we raise this money, the sooner that we can spread Dr. Paul’s message – our message – in the early primary states. Time truly is money.
Fact is, we only have about two weeks to raise money for the early primaries.
If you wait a month from now to donate, your money will only be spent after Iowa caucus-goers and New Hampshire primary voters have made up their minds.
We are rapidly running out of time. The Iowa caucus is just 44 days away. New Hampshire is in 49 days. With so much ground to make up, we can’t afford to waste a single day.
As a result, we are spending faster than the rate at which we are raising money. In October alone, we raised $2.8 million, but our campaign spent over $3.1 million.
We cannot afford to wait for bursts of press activity. What we need is sustained attention in the news. What better way to do this than by continuing to raise money at a rapid pace now? We need to keep our momentum going.
Help us win in New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina, and Nevada.
While there are a very few people out there who are more interested in pursuing their own individual agendas on the back of Ron Paul, it’s likely you aren’t one of them. It’s likely you want to see Ron Paul succeed. The only way he can do that is to get donations in the next two weeks.
Because of the critical importance of raising money now, we’re going to change gears a little. Please join Ron Paul Christmas, become Santa and deliver donations of $50 or more on Monday, November 26 and again on December 3. (Then stick around if you like and contribute $25 or more each Monday through the end of the year.)
Media attention is useless if we lose the primaries! And to win the primaries, Ron Paul needs your donation now! I’m digging deeper into my own wallet to make absolutely sure that I’ve done everything I possibly can do.
Then forward this message to everyone you know who has ever supported Ron Paul or just wants to reclaim the freedom our country used to be renowned for. The time is now and we haven’t got a moment to lose.

Hello Everyone,
Yes, the need to give has never been greater. I gave $1400 so far . . . and I’m not wealthy by any means. The rule of law is not dead yet. The future of this country is more important than short term debt or a reduction of savings. If you target your donations to $2300; then, it’s easier to give less. Ron Paul is a humble Christian. I can not turn my back on him. A good man indeed, I’ve meet him and would step in front of a bullet to keep him safe from harm.
He walks with Jesus.

Ron Paul walks with Jesus like we all do. Please get the word out about him. He could save us from future disasters like the past 911. The word out is Obama is getting the majority of the votes. Does anyone know if he is a Christian or a Muslim? Ron Paul is a good Christian who can change the world. Please donate to him. David was blessed to meet him.

Previously I gave $200. A few minutes ago I added my last unemployment check of $500 to Ron Paul’s campaign. At $700 that is more than 3x my previous total to all candidates. Fortunately I am back to work.
This presidential election is critical to this nation and my life. With the Feds encouraging hyper inflation to bail out the housing lender crooks I may as well spend it now on something worthwhile as it may be worthless next year or the year after.
In a few weeks I hope to add $500 more and $100 to the blimp fund. I will go see that thing fly and I hope Michael will post a picture of it.
Thanks, Michael, for this site.

I find it wild to realize also that most are nowhere near the so called$2300 max to donate and most of us have only given $50.
Remember that we need to create a buzz for 08 as well so our 07 news does not get put off as “last years news”
January 1st is the day!
