The 5th of November Remembered
Well, yesterday was the 5th of November which was the date in 1605 when Guy Fawkes and a group of English Roman Catholics had plotted the 'gunpowder plot' to blow up the houses of Parliment and kill king James I of England. This was to stop Protestant rule by killing the protestant aristocracy. This was also part of the plot in the movie 'V for Vendetta'.
But also, it was a rallying cry to push donations to Ron Paul's campaign. The slogan, "Remember, Remember the 5th of November". But this is not a case of trying to destroy things, but a peaceful revolution to take our country back, to bring the constitution back into the being the guiding force for our government.
Yesterday, the Ron Paul Campaign received around $4.2 Million dollars in donations in about a 24 hour period. This eclipses the amount Mitt Romney received in one day. As of the time I am writing this entry, donations to his campaign fund is nearing $7.5 Million dollars since October 1st or the 4th quarter of the year. A lofty goal of $12 Million dollars was set to help his campaign to 'be taken serious' and to politic in the early primary states.
While there is still a long way to go to the $12 million dollar mark, he has already passed his $5 Million dollar mark from the 3rd quarter of this year. There are more dates planned for mass fundraising. One is This November 11th (veterans day), another is the Ron Paul Money Bomb, and a recent one I found is Tea Party '07 to commemorate the Boston Tea Party on December 16th.
Pass the word on to your friends and family, Ron Paul is real and his ideology is sound. I thank Doug for talking about Dr. Paul and about his platform. I don't know who all he has turned onto Dr. Paul but I have started convincing people to look at him. So far I think my vote has gotten two more votes. One of my 'convertees' could possibly get three or four more votes.
This campaign will probably be a grassroots work all the way. Its not just 'a cool thing' to support him, but you must take your typing, take your words, and take your voice to the polls and vote.
I'll be there, will you?
