The RP people are having some kind of fund raising event on Nov 5. Everyone is supposed to send in $100.

Interesting they chose November 5. November 5 was known in colonial Boston as 'Beat-up-a-Catholic-Day'. Boston, being basically a Puritan town didn't have Catholics to beat up, so the North End Boys and the South End Boys beat each other up. (These were some sort of drinking/fighting clubs of apprentices, indentured servants and shop workers.)

It was Samuel Adams, the Adams family embarrassment, who united the mobs and turned them into The Sons of Liberty. Their hobby was tearing down people's houses if they got ticked off at them.

Supporters should email this to their friends.

Encourage them to "PASS IT ON"

Tuesday, November 4th is election day in 2008.

So, one year before the election, seems like maybe that was the reason for picking that date, eh? This year the 4th is a Sunday, so the 5th, Monday, 365 days to the election ...

Remember November 5th
Posted October 22nd, 2007 by antiwar

Ron Paul's fundraising has substantially increased each week this month:

Oct Week 1: $321,054
Oct Week 2: $501,674
Oct Week 3: $676,452

One reason has been the Ron Paul "Money Bombs."

Supporters have gotten together to release a "money bomb" in a brief period, spiking his contributions. These are easily tracked on a minute-by-minute basis on RonPaulGraphs.com.

The biggest money bomb being planned is for the 5th of November. On that day, the goal is for 100,000 supporters to donate $100 each. If they make this goal, it would give Ron $10 Million on one day. I think that may be a bit high a goal, but even a fraction of this will produce amazing results, both for the actual fund drive and for another great press release. In the first four days, nearly 6,000 signed up.

If you haven't maxed out, $100 isn't much to make this kind of splash.

RP: Boys, we gotta get the word out that Individualism is the way to go. Anyone got any ideas?

Aide: Yeah. Lets get all our people organized into one big collective and get them to donate all on one day. Then we can call all the media together into one big collective press conference.

RP: Son, you're a genius.

Yata's comments point out what he and many others don't understand: The Ron Paul campaign is a bottom up, indivualistic organization - a great example of the concept of "spontaneous order."


Ron Paul himself was recruited to run for President by this grassroots movement. He did not desire or choose to run, and then build a campaign and look for supporters. The movement organized itself, and then recruited a candidate. The movement is raising money, creating videos, ads, events, winning straw polls all on its own, without any involvement by the official campaign, the staff, the office, or the candidate.

That is one of the reasons people keep underestimating the strength of the Ron Paul campaign. We cannot see it or measure it.

It is well established that the Clinton, Giuliani, Romney and McCain campaigns have to hire people to create videos and blogs and manage their Internet comments and image. They have to pay people to organize rallies. They have to pay people to turn out and carry signs for them. All of these things are being done for Ron Paul by volunteers acting independently. Ron Paul always expresses his surprise at his own campaign growth, fundraising, support, turnout etc., because it is a surprise. It is not organized by the campaign HQ.
