You and I know our real country -- the America of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, of economic, civil, and personal liberty, of strong families and communities, of great businesses and professions, of strong peace and low taxes and sound money -- all of which are under assault by the politicians who occupy our nation’s capital.

Together, we can restore our constitutional republic, and oust the mountebanks who violate the ideals of the Founders with income taxes, Federal Reserve inflation, deficit spending, preemptive wars, torture, secret prisons, and abolition of habeas corpus.

In a 24-hour period on December 16, the campaign raised $6.026 million dollars, surpassing the one-day record of $5.7 million held by John Kerry.

During the day, over 58,000 people contributed to Dr. Paul’s campaign, including 24,940 first-time donors. Over 118,000 Americans have donated to the campaign in the fourth quarter.

The $6 million one-day total means the campaign has raised over $18 million this quarter, far exceeding its goal of $12 million.

If you live in South Carolina, and your heart is with a Democratic Candidate...essentially you are "wasting" your vote.

I refuse to pay attention to the media, who they place as frontrunners or what they have to say after the debates. It's pointless. I knew from the beginning Ron Paul was my man and I've never felt so strongly about anyone else, and I've voted in every election since I was 18.

Vote for who you believe in!!

You don't donate millions of dollars. You donate a few dollars to a person you believe will help create the government of the future you want. This is called a grass roots movement, and it's a way to enact change.

Unfortunately, many people feel as you, and don't understand how the political process works. .

It would get rid of a lot of the shadiness that goes on with big corporate donors, etc. Individuals donating 20 bucks here and there of course is no problem, but when you get to lobbyist blocs that DO donate millions in soft money, that's when you have a real problem of government of the dollar, by the dollar, and for the dollar, instead of for the people.

Should I get to boycott paying taxes on the chance that that money might be used for the war or for illegal domestic wiretapping? Sorry, but since when has our potential personal outrage at the uses to which our tax dollars are put mattered so much as a piss upwind?
