Tea Party!
December 16, 2007(One of the things I’ve done since coming back, besides attempting to overcome jet-lag and contracting a cold virus, is catching up on half a year’s worth of news. And of all the newsworthy events, Ron Paul’s campaign is at the top of my list. I’m captivated not only by the man’s beliefs, but by the amount of energy the American people have generated in showing their support.)
Today is the Ron Paul Tea Party, a campaign fundraising event that has been creating completely by the general public, with a goal to drastically increase Paul’s donations through the internet. it’s currently 7pm EST, which means there is 5 hours left before midnight. I have my fingers crossed – Ron Paul is going to cross 4 million in one day… again!
I have previously not been too active in politics, but after listening to his positions, I feel almost as if I had an obligation as a patriotic American to do my part to push for his candidacy. This man may just be what our country desperately needs right now.
Go Ron Paul!
-edit- nevermind, he’s crossed $6 million – this now officially surpasses John Kerry’s record of $5.7 million one-day fundraiser in 2004. What a Revolution. May the energy continue!
