Ron Paul raised more than $6 million (exact numbers still being tallied) today during a “money bomb” his supporters created in honor of the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. At midnight EST, Paul’s real-time donations ticker read $17,980,000, after beginning the day 24 hours earlier reading about $11.5 million.
Update: I’m told that the total was around $6.3 million.
Update #2: The total seems to be $6.02 million, and Andrew Sullivan of The Atlantic endorsed Ron Paul for the Republican nomination today.
How did this happen? Many people just wanted to donate money, as well as promote the day through some great videos like this one (I particularly like the soldier when the song asks, “How did I get here?” I’m sure more than one soldier has asked that very question):

Mitt is crying again because Ron Paul raised $6 million dollars in one day (soon the entire GOP field will be crying as Dr. Paul wins. Unfortunately it took segregationist Governor Wallace to reveal the truth that “there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between” Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats willingly went along with the War in Iraq, suspension of Habeas Corpus, detaining protesters, banning books like “America Deceived’ from Amazon, stealing private lands (Kelo decision), warrant-less wiretapping and refusing to investigate 9/11 properly. They are both guilty of treason.
Support Dr. Ron Paul and save this great nation.
