Ron Paul's "Tea Party" - December 16th Fundraiser (looks to be bigger than Nov. 5th!)

It is not we non-interventionists who are isolationists. The real isolationists are those who impose sanctions and embargoes on countries and peoples across the globe because they disagree with the internal and foreign policies of their leaders. The real isolationists are those who choose to use force overseas to promote democracy, rather than seek change through diplomacy, engagement, and by setting a positive example. ~Rep. Ron Paul

Ron Paul wants to trade with people, talk with people, etc.

We raised over 6 million today with over 25,000 new donors!!!

if you dont know, then at least read some stuff about him, no reason to stay in the dark and be stupid to the race like the rest of the population, get your friends off they're asses and get them registered to vote for Ron Paul, no use in letting votes go to waste.

Obama is a douche and yes i can provide a receipt of my donation, if you dont care then dont post, and go on living your life like the government wants you to, if you want change, then take some time, and research the candidates, find out who you would like to be our next president, then support them. People dont have a voice because they stopped speaking, but Dr. Paul is here to change all of that :hippy:

We've had a complaint about this issue being spammed across the forums. Let's keep this in politics from here on out!

Also, I can't see the sense of having numerous threads back to back regarding this.....lets keep the Tea Party posts in this thread.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

^^ I agree psycobud, seeing all those threads just isnt right and ppl know better, even Ron Paul supporters. I know all of you have a lot of emotion, and spirit for him and his campaign. I'm the same way, but lets have some self control and try not to do such like spamming.

^ Spam! LOL. That's funny. I call it patriotic propaganda...or the peoples will and word.

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

What a day. My young son and I danced around all day and enjoyed our Tea for certain. It was difficult to pull away from the event as it kept getting better and better. Preliminary numbers are at $6.4 million raised with over 25,000 new contributors! That puts the donors over 100,000 for the 4th quarter and surpasses all the the other media-anointed front-runners. He's sure to hit $20 million for the quarter too! Woot!!! Go Ron Go!!! Join the REVOLution!!!

I am glad to see so many new Ron Paul supporters! I switched from Green to Republican to vote for him. I also donated to a politician's campaign for the first time.

As long as this new rule doesn't cause all future threads to be closed simply because it has to do with Ron Paul, I am ok with it. Only need 1 Ron Paul Tea Party thread, but if the thread is about Ron Paul but concerning something different, (and isn't blatant spam, I mean like an actual interesting opinion or article), it should be allowed to be left in it's own thread.

There's my $0.02

Oh yea...if you want to check up on who is donating money, you can use this really freaking cool search tool to see who donated what, where they live, etc.

>>Super Cool Donation Search Tool<<

It is based on the last quarter donations though, so none of the newer Ron Paul money bombs will be represented here, but it is still very cool and as soon as this quarter ends and the FEC updates their donation filings, we can see who was part of the money bombs :D

I think the reason some folks post in different forums is because anyone who smokes weed should be looking for someone who wants to return the issue to the states. A lot of people who would benefit greatly may not be interested enough in politics to look there, but if they see a headline about a leading candidate who's for state's rights they might take a look. That said, it will be on the main page if they happen to scroll down to that section.

^Yea the money bombs didn't seem to affect the press very much, but with all this money Ron Paul can start spending as much as the other leading candidates so people in the early states will start to look into him. I can't remember if I dreamed this or read it on an old news article, but I thought there was going to be a documentary specifically on Ron Paul's growing grass roots campaign. I hope that's for real, would be awesome!

I brought this issue up to Sundance and I supported the members efforts in this type of thing. Whether or not I agree with a persons politics isn't an issue on this; I find it refreshing that so many are taking an active role.:thumbsup:

There were a few basic stipulations (guidelines) regarding this though:

1) MUST be from a legitimate Campaign site
2) Limited to ONE thread/candidate; or in this case event
3) This will be contained in the Politics Forums to prevent spamming the forums

As for ANY other articles, events, etc.... on a candidate, that would definately allowed in various threads. ONLY campaign contribution events will be limited to one thread.

One more thing.....this thread has been handled with respect and I expect the same if someone else posts something of a similar nature regarding another candidate......even for Hillary I guess. LOL

People in here such as Zimzum are working their ass off for a purpose....by following the three simple guidelines we'll save this format as another avenue for their efforts.:thumbsup:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
