Ron Paul (R) of Texas set a 4th quarter fundraising goal of $12 million and hit it at 1:12 A.M. EST. At midnight, the start of his supporters' latest grassroots moneybomb effort, his campaign had $11,551,156.57 according to his website. About an hour later Paul had raised enough to break the $12 million mark and hit his goal for the quarter.
The Tea Party started at midnight and thousands around the country have been watching since to see just how much the presidential hopeful is going to rake in with a little help from his friends.
New York City Meetup group organizer Avery Knapp, himself a liberty-loving doctor like his hero, addressed the 1,000+ member group at a large party commemorating the Tea Party celebration at the Manhattan headquarters. Inciting an already excited crowd, he encouraged them to consider the importance of the date in history:
"Ron Paul speaks of a world of peace, freedom and prosperity. But you are the makers of that world, and your children will one day reap the benefits. Ron Paul may have sparked in your imagination a better, more free world. But you are the ones who will make it so, and manifest it in your hearts, minds, and bodies for the rest of your lives. Ron Paul may have cured your apathy, but you are the passioned supporters who shall never be apathetic again."
Liberty is brewing. Stay tuned.

I surely hope that the united states will wake up and elect a man that has brains and understands that this country needs drastic change. The other candidates democrat and republican are all promising what they will do once they are elected.The programs require money. You have to strighten the monetary system first and that is what Ron Paul wants to do. Only then will these programs be realized. If any other republican canidate runs besides Ron Paul,the democrates will win. Ron Paul is the only republican that can win the election. He is not a flip-flopper and he hasn't changed his agenda to gain votes from the people. It must be hell when you cant find dirt on a man. He believes in the constitution and you have to respect him for that. The media can ignore this man all they want,but after the primaries they will know him. God forbid the democrat that will have to debate him. He will win by his knowledge and the experience he has in government.
