Pay Pals — Paul supporters reach into their pockets
By Klaus Marre

September 25, 2007

Supporters of long-shot GOP presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) are putting their money where their mouth is — the Internet.

With the third quarter drawing to a close, the campaign said it expects to exceed the $2.4 million haul it brought in during the second quarter, even though fundraising is usually slower in the summer.

The lawmaker’s website is urging supporters to give $500,000 in the week prior to the deadline, and it appears as though that goal will be surpassed easily.

Benton said the campaign sent out an e-mail announcing the initiative, which is also prominently featured on Paul’s website, at noon on Monday. A little more than a day later $170,000 had been raised, with additional donations coming in at a rate of a little more than $10,000 every hour.

While this is a cool-looking graphic and I'm a Ron Paul supporter this graphic is repeatedly freezing up my browser as it waits for data transfer from www.ronpaul2008.com

You might want to consider putting it behind a cut.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm sorry that it's causing problems for your browser. I'm going to leave it up, barring further reports of problems, as the purpose of the graphic is to advertise for Ron Paul, and so far, yours is the only problem report I've received.
