Today Grassroots supporters of Congressman Ron Paul donated over $4 Million to his campaign, as party of a money-bomb organized from outside the campaign.
A Web site that is unaffiliated with the Presidential campaign set November 5th as the day for supporters of Paul to donate.
Trevor Lyman, the creator of the Web site that organized the donation date said that the date was chosen because it corresponded with the movie V for Vendetta, in which the people of Britain rise up against a totalitarian government.
"If you look at the pop culture feel-good message of the movie," Lyman said, "the people in the end say we are the deciders. That's the best way to describe it. And this is a country of and by the people."
Granted, the way CNN described it one would get the impression that the date was honoring a terrorist attack. But again, the main stream media doesn't seem to want Paul to win anything.
There were over 35,000 individual donations.
I personally donated $25.

Good that you are politically active--and with your pocketbook to boot.
Maybe Paul will surprise everyone and get the nomination--maybe.
Good for him. I'm still not sure who I'm voting for.
