Campaign Statement Following $6 Million Day

From the Ron Paul campaign:

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA - Following its historic fundraising day on December 16th, Ron Paul campaign chairman Kent Snyder issued the following statement:

"There is an unprecedented outpouring of grassroots support for Dr. Paul. The message of freedom is powerful and uniting people across America. And, Dr. Paul is the only candidate offering real solutions to the issues Americans care about, with the record to back it up.

Ron Paul’s $6.3 million tea party

A blizzard which dropped eight inches of snow on Boston Sunday didn't stop over 700 people from packing into Faneuil Hall to hear speeches about Dr. Ron Paul. And nothing could stop 61,000 supporters of Paul's presidential campaign from dropping a record-breaking $6.3 million into his campaign coffers.

$6 Million in 24 Hours

I thought November 5th was big, but December 16th, the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, takes the prize.

You can find the figures at Ron Paul Graphs and the analysis at their Blog.

Apparently the biggest fundraising day in campaign history (regardless of party or source) was by John Kerry in 2004; he took in about $5.7 million in 24 hours. Ron Paul just made over $6 million with almost 60,000 donors.

What will the establishment make of it? Probably not much. After all, what would they do without more war and more taxes?
