It is called the Ron Paul money bomb as that is the term coined for grassroots fundraising effort over a brief fixed time period.
“The term was first applied to a supporter-led fundraiser on behalf of presidential candidate Ron Paul, in which context the Mercury News described a moneybomb as being “a one-day fundraising frenzy”. The effort combines traditional and Internet-based fundraising appeals focusing especially on viral advertising through online vehicles such as YouTube, Myspace, Meetup, and online forums. In the case of lesser-known candidates it is also intended to generate significant free mass media coverage the candidate would otherwise not receive. Moneybombs have been used for grassroots fundraising and viral activism over the Internet by several 2008 presidential candidates in the United States. It continues to emerge as an important grassroots tool leading up to the 2010 midterm elections and 2012 presidential election in the United States.” (SOURCE)
Ron Paul’s birthday ‘money bomb’ nets $1.6 million
The popularity of Ron Paul cannot be denied since these contributions are coming in from individual grass root individuals in thousands of small amounts. Others of the establishment mainstream may get a higher total overall war chest, but their donations come from the big well to do special interests.
“In a 24-hour fundraising push over the weekend, GOP presidential candidate Paul scooped up more than $1.6 million in small donations. It was Paul’s 76th birthday and his loyal band of dedicated campaigners came through again for the inconoclastic Texas libertarian.
This happened despite a cyber-attack on the campaign Website, announced on Paul’s Facebook page, that shut it down for a few hours.
A press release quoted campaign chairman Jesse Benton as saying, “Our campaign is surging, and today’s money bomb results show the strength of our grassroots support. We’ve just come off an impressive finish in the Iowa straw poll, and our growing poll numbers and strong fundraising proves that our message is resonating with people.” (SOURCE)
The popularity of Ron Paul is reflected by his perfect record of obeying and protecting the Constitution and his stand against the neocons in both parties that are supporting the unconstitutional wars. The people are beginning to see that they are being plunged into financial oblivion by the oligarchy of banks and giant corporate monopolies that control most of our representatives through special interests. War is great business for them.
