Ron Paul's tea party for dollars
By Michael Levenson, Globe Staff
Ron Paul supporters marched today through the snow from the State House to Faneuil Hall, then smashed the one-day fund-raising record for a Republican presidential candidate.
As of 7 p.m., the supporters said they had raked in $4.3 million, surpassing the record $4.2 million total they raised on Nov. 5.
Most of the 33,000 donations were made over the Internet in what the supporters called a "money bomb" timed to coincide with the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. The last fund-raising blitz, which took in 40,000 donations, was timed to coincide with Guy Fawkes Day, which commemorates a British mercenary who tried unsuccessfully to kill King James I on Nov. 5, 1605.
"This basically shows that Ron Paul is a viable candidate," said Rachael McIntosh, a spokeswoman for what was dubbed Boston TeaParty07. "People are so engaged in this campaign because it’s coming from the grass-roots."
The supporters of the Texas congressman pick anniversaries of such historical events to highlight what they call the "Ron Paul Revolution."
Paul has stood out from the Republican field with his libertarian views and his opposition to the Iraq war. While he has remained in the single digits in polls nationally and in New Hampshire and Iowa, the fund-raising success has separated him from other lower-polling candidates and has enabled him to air TV ads in New Hampshire.
His supporters are unusually enthusiastic. Today, one waved a yellow "Don't Tread on Me" flag on Beacon Street in front of the State House while a dozen others clutched "Ron Paul" placards in the sleet.
Linda Poole, 53, a certified public accountant, wore a Santa hat with a Ron Paul sticker on the fur brim. She came to the rally from her home in Macon, Ga., she said.
"I've been supporting Ron Paul since May and following him since 2005," Poole said. If the "founding fathers" were alive today, she said, "Ron Paul is the only person they would vote for."
McIntosh said 400 supporters later marched to Faneuil Hall, where about 700 people listened to speeches by Rand Paul, the candidate's son, Carla Howell, a libertarian who ran unsuccessfully for Massachusetts governor in 2002, and others.
Supporters also re-enacted the dumping of tea in Boston Harbor, by tossing banners that read "tyranny" and "no taxation without representation" into boxes that were placed in front of an image of the harbor.
"They're trying to get the attention of the mainstream media, almost like a child that is acting up, trying go get the attention of their parent," McIntosh said.

Important facts.
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against the Iraq war.
Ron Paul's record:
Restrict abortion. Restrict immigration. Gee, I'm glad he's pro-freedom or imagine what else he'd be pushing.
If anyone wants to read something really scary go to the Council on Foreign Relations website and read Mike Huckabee's plan. He is a Neo-Con's wet dream come true. If Huckabee is ever elected this country will be totally wrecked by the policies he advocates. I hope this country has much better sense than to ever allow such a man as Huckabee to get his hands on power.
I very much like Ron Paul's message, and I hope that he does become our next president.
I just want to make sure in your talking points, or passionate reiteration of the issues, that you are accurate.
There is a democrat (albeit fringe) that believes in the constitution. Remember, Dennis Kucinich carries a copy of the constitution in his pocket. Kucinich. Kucinich is also someone Ron Paul has worked with on many occasions as he told a supporter once.
Keep the message going, keep the momentum going, but please keep the rhetoic accurate.
Ron Paul!!! Let's make governemnt accountable to We The People

Ron Paul is well seated in the "top tier"... http://truthalert.net/Republican%20Presidential%20Candidate%20Rankings.htm
Ron Paul!!! Let's make government accountable to We The People

My wife and I just donated $20. We don't have much but believe wholeheartedly that our nation is at a crossroads where we must decide between being the great free country of America or start to be like every other corrupted government in the world. At this point the government has so much power what is to keep us from going down the road Pakistan has just gone down -- no more power hungry corruption!. We must save our nation for the sake of our children. $30,000 in national debt for every American, a police state that controls the minute details of our lives... give us liberty! Give us Ron Paul in 2008!
Today's money bomb seems to be going well. I hope this will put the positions of Dr. Ron Paul in front of the masses and grow his support. Dr. Paul has cured the political apathy of many and our country needs him.
$100 from me. It's the price of 2 video games or 5 music cds. Think of it as an investment in our future.
NEW RON PAUL 2008 POSTER: www.acmwallet.com/ronpaul
We are excited to see people energized about politics again!
I actually changed my political affiliation for this guy, I hope he wins
May America wake up to it's last chance to obtain its greatness. This can only be achieved by breaking so called treaties(entanglements), which by design destroy our sovereignty. Ron Paul holds no allegience to these meddlers and is the only hope to restore our freedoms and liberties which have been Stolen. The restoration of this great Nation is a cause to rally all the true PATRIOTS, and not the neocons who only work toward the increase of their net worth. The powers that be are afraid of Americans waking up to see what has been commited upon them in the name of protection. Namely the dismanteling of the Constitution and the deflation of the dollar. I pray that we will have a chance at greatness, a chance to elect a man that would steer us back to a constitutional republic. I fear that if we continue down the path we are on now we will lose everything we hold of value. WAKE UP AMERICA VOTE FOR HOPE! REGISTER REPUBLICAN AND ATTEND THE PRIMARY VOTE RON PAUL. Today we have a choice that we haven't had in a long time...... you don't have to choose between the lesser of two evils, denounce evil VOTE RON PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks DR Paul, this is why I love this country........Media Pro
I'm posting this comment in hopes that the media will take some notice and give this man credit.
Thank you Ron Paul, we are supporting you!
This money is our way of saying
" Bring our troops home now!"
This is our last chance to save the Republic. I'd rather spend Federal Reserve Notes now, than spend 5.56 ammo, later. FREEDOM

My wife and I donated this morning and we are going to donate again. I am so proud of all of you guys and gals! I am Paramotor Pilot in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I am going to put Ron Paul for President on the 30 foot wing in 24" letters and fly it over the city. Gosh, the Tea Party Fund Raiser is a smash! Thank God, take that ABC, NBC, and CBS! Go Ron!
I knew Ron Paul in the mid 70's as a physician. I had the honor of voting for him the first time he ran for Congress and my father RIP voted for him every time he ran for reelection. Dr. Paul is an honorable and steadfast carrier of the American standard of Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness and an intelligent non interventionist foreign policy that will not leave America too broke to defend herself. I am deeply moved by the support shown to Dr. Paul since his message has finally received the attention it deserves. It is a shame that it took the ruinous Presidency of George Bush to give him the opportunity.

Hey moneypeople, hey CBS, CNN, ABC and the rest of you media guys. You are not going to make YOUR president this time.
Time for REVOLUTION
RonPaulrevolution
Ron Paul is the only decent man with integrity which has been absent in politics for the past 30 years - why has the average American not given 2 hoots? Because we've been forced to settle with NO choice (the lesser of evils is NOT a choice at all) and no viable options.
Ron Paul can change America into something we can be proud of once again! let us take back this great Nation - the PEOPLE!!!
I've heard and seen a lot of signs saying Ron Paul removed my appathy, well, resident Bush did that for me. His blatant disrespect for our constitution and the people of this great country dug under my skin and grew cancerous... I started paying attention. Thank the heavens above for Dr. Ron Paul and his courageous stance that he has taken to the door of big government, big business and the corrupt and greed that blatantly runs rampant and has tanked our economy. Words can't say enough. My eyes swell with pride to know there are tens- if not hundreds of thousands of people that feel the same way. That number is now going to grow, exponentially. Ron Paul has made me proud to be an American again! Thank you, Dr. Paul and all of his grassroots supporters!

Also, this guy knows MONEY!!
RP Took Berneke (i don't care if i spelled his name wrong) to SKOOOLLL.
Check it out on Youtube. RP is the ONLY person I'd donated to.
Usually its just picking the best one from the worst.
RP doesn't have supporters, he ha FANS. That is the difference
If you are new to Ron Paul and wonder what the fuss is about here is a 4 part speech at U of M; it is worth your 30 minutes - listen and then make your decision if this is a person worthy of your time attention

God Bless the People of America!
Wow, I can't believe they are raising this much money! Where is his support coming from? He must have a lot of supporters to raise this much. For some reason, I haven't heard much mentioned about Paul on any of the networks or cable news channels.

I wasn't able to make it to the Tea Party this weekend due to bad weather. So, I made a sign that said "Ron Paul is making history today" and went to the closest intersection. This was a little scary at first, but I thought people in my area needed to know the truth. At first I was met with blank stares. But, after that first person gave me a thumbs up I was on a new high. They just kept coming, people yelling out the windows "RON PAUL." It was addictive to say the least. The next thing I knew I'd been standing out there for over 3 hours. It was the least I could do for Ron Paul. I'm planning on doing it again. Maybe next time dressed like Santa or a founding father. He received the most signatures for the primary ballot here in Virginia. Let's show everyone the message of freedom! Vote Ron Paul!
Our Political Movement called Action For Justice (AFJ/AXJ) support Dr. Ron Paul and have passed the message of peace on around the world. He is first and foremost a pro-life Medical Doctor. Second he is a Patriot. Third his platform is based on the basics, the United States Constitution and its guarantees for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happy which have apparently been curtailed by the current Administration. www.action4justice.com
I've never put so much effort into a campaign...this one is a complete and humbling honor. Thank you Dr. Paul for "Curing my apathy!!!!!" I'm in for the long haul...and after seeing him in person in Des Moines, Iowa, 7 hours from my home, HE IS TOO...he made that perfectly clear.......
EVERYONE CONTRIBUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always said I could vote for a Republican if only they would act like one. Finally somebody who acts like a conservative Republican. The first one I've seen since I could vote (in the 70s.
I donated $100 on November 5th, I donated $100 today, and I plan to donate another $100 on the next money bomb day, whatever that is.
A small price to pay to get our country back. Haven't felt this optimistic in years.
Go RP...!

Ron Paul stands for what this country once stood for. Dr. Paul is the most sincere, direct and honest candidate in the race. Ron Paul is the only candidate that has opposed the illegitimate war in Iraq from day one. Ron Paul wants to restore our rights, yours and mine, by reversing the unconstitutional patriot act. Ron Paul supports the individual liberty of all men and women. He is against this path towards a police state, which America is headed in. He wants to decriminalize marijuana so as to stop the flow of non-dangerous criminals to prison as well as reduce the bureaucracy it takes to fight the losing drug war. Bring home the troops, close the foreign military bases, stop all the foreign lobbies and aid, stop the federal reserve from taking your money and inflating the dollar 3%-10% every year! VOTE FREEDOM, VOTE PEACE, VOTE LIBERTY AND JUSTICE, VOTE TO RESTORE AMERICA! VOTE TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS AND MINE........VOTE RON PAUL IN 2008! See for yourself at www.ronpaul2008.com Or google "Ron Paul". Watch his speeches on youtube as well. Do not be a single issue voter this time. Vote on the BIG PICTURE!! This time it is for freedom and the fate of our nation. Throw of this yoke of tyranny. Hillary is PRO-WAR and PRO-Aggression, Obama already said he would strike Iran and Pakistan, Giuliani is an insane criminal, we must look at the issues and vote for the ones that matter most. Whether you are a homosexual, conservative, democrat, liberal, pot-head, cab driver, carpenter, janitor, whatever........he is for your rights! Ron Paul wants to limit the extent of the powers of the federal government. Lets decentralize this leviathon monster, this 800 pound gorilla in our country, lets decentralize the federal government and restore the power to the individual states. THat is what this nation was founded on. We are a republic not an empire. Join the fight for freedom today. Bring hope to America!
The answer to 1984 is 1776!
Finally a Man of principle and honor running for president. I am ready to stand up and give this all I got. I will give all of my money and when I max out I will give to the blimp or what ever. When I get home I am mailing DVD's to all of my neighbors so they will know about this revolutions. I give you the one finger salute King George
I've donated over $500, plus another $150+ for campaign materials. I suggest all to join local meet-up groups from your area. They can be found by linking from Ron Paul's web site. Keep up the good work. We need an honest and principled president - for a change.
next is the email bomb to all major media, email them every day every way. email their major advertisers and get the word out. we must get our country back. remember the government works for us! not the other way around.
He is opposed to all trade treaties with Mexico and Canada because he thinks they're preludes to a North American Union run by the Illuminati.
He wants to get out of the UN because he believes it is the secret world government, run by the Illuminati.
He is opposed to even TALKING to the warring parties in Somalia, because he feels that the US might taint the supreme freedom the somalis enjoy. According to Ron Paul, Somalia is a shining success story and a role model for the USA.
Ron Paul wants to abolish the federal reserve, and return to the gold standard. Not incidentally, Ron Paul runs a gold trading company.
Ron Paul is against net neutrality, ie in favor of letting ISP's charge extra for not throttling user bandwidth.
Ron Paul is anti-environmentalist. He's opposed to doing anything about global warming, and is in favor of e.g. letting oil companies drill wherever they want.
Ron Paul wants to disband all federal science and oversight organizations, e.g. NASA, FDA, and the EPA.
Ron Paul wants to slash the US army to the bare minimum needed to protect the US mainland from invasion, and abandon all bases abroad.
In short, Ron Paul is a loon. That this hasn't been covered in mainstream media is because he's old and seen as a lovable crank with no shot at the presidency.
So why are his supporters so enthusiastic? Because he's got the backing of two wealthy and influential movements: the white supremacist movement, and the conspiracy theorist movement. Those are his powerbase, not libertarians.
Kudos to the RP people for generating so many favorable comments.
I heard *they* want to make that NAFTA superhighway actually loop around the entire world with really nice rest stops. And only Illuminati members will be able to drive on it.
Maybe Dr. Paul will help us all out and run as an independent.
Ron Paul, as many have pointed out, is an ardent support or the "ideals" of our founding fathers. However, something I feel is never mentioned is the fact that the founding fathers were based in 1777, not 2007. Clearly, much has changed since then; the founding fathers had no way to imagine the internet, the atomic bomb, or even cars. It is important to remember that times have changed, that the framework that the founding fathers laid out was just that--a framework. Simply because the founded the country doesn't mean that their views of how the country should be run then are applicable to how the country should be run now.
Furthermore, Ron Paul seems to be an incredible supporter of so-called “states rights,” a idea for interactions between the states and the federal government which fell out of favor in the 1860’s. Even more interestingly, Paul would seek to repeal the 17th amendment, which allows the people to elect their senators. And while I fully understand the difference between a representative democracy (republic) and a direct democracy, I don’t understand why we should take power of the hands of the people and put it back into the hands of the government.
Regardless of these problems, the largest issue with Paul is remembering just how against the grain his views are. While this could be a drawing point for many voters, it should be remembered that the congress retains the right to override a presidential veto, and to approve his appointments. I believe that Paul is radical enough to unite the Democrats as well as moderate Republicans, to override Paul more than any other president in history.
Just some things to keep in mind when you head to the polls.

It's your chance to make the IRS fear YOU!!! How can you pass this up? Ron Paul 2008.
Dr Ron Paul is the only candidate that is not a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. A privately owned company that owns, Halliburton, Lockheed, The Federal Reserve Bank, ABC, AOL Timewarner, etc etc lets take our country back from the elite Think Tank that feels that they know what is best for the world.
I just donated to Ron, first time in my 58 years I ever donated to any politician!!
Ron is what this country needs, a man of integrity and honesty. I don't agree with everything he says, but I like most of what he stands for. The rest of them are nothing but politicians, who will say whatever you want to hear just to get elected, there is no integrity in any of them.
GO RON......
Good Luck Dr. Paul, yours is the only intelegent choice this election.
I will be cheering from Canada for your victory!
Giuliani-what a joke. He's a "conservative Republican" cross-dressing closet Nazi. He's an embezzler with two divorces, three marriages and mob connections. He's facing a lawsuit over his Murdoch relationship and will have to testify in his buddy Kerick's criminal trial. He sleeps over with gay couples and none of his children campaign for him. The possibility of a cancer recurrence was an issue with Michael Dukakis, so isn't it an issue with Giuliani? Do we really want a chemotherapy patient running the country?
THANK YOU BOSTON GLOBE! Few and far between: mainstream media outlets with enough integrity to publish legitimate Paul stories. I'll be sure to remember the good Globe from here on out.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,"
George Santayan: Reason in Common Sense
To the gentleman who believes that the Constitution was only valid for the 1700's... Greed, love of power and elitism leads to oppressive governments. This is not something that is limited to a specific point in time. The United States is not immune to the natural progression of governmental bodies that become to involved in individual affairs. The constitution was built around something that never changes and remains true thorughout the ages and beyond: that of human nature. People do not give enough credit to those founding fathers...and just remember, we are a 300 year YOUNG country, it can (and unfortunately will) happen here if the general public continues on this apathetic path. Don't take my word for it, history is yoru teacher.
St. Louis, Mo - Our family donated $300 today to Dr. Paul and the Revolution. This will just be the beginning! I plan on erecting a 4 x 8 sign in the back of my pickup for as long as it takes to wake this area up. Who is for storming Iowa? GO RON PAUL..........

Its going to be over 6 million, and its going to be the biggest political fund-raising effort in a 24 hour period of all time on the entire planet. None of the money comes from companies or is self-loaned money. Its THE PEOPLE standing up for liberty!

The NEW 6 MILLION DOLLAR MAN! We can rebuild this nation. Better then it was before. Better, Stronger, freer!
Great way to waste money...supporting a candidate like this is just ensuring a Mitt or a Rudy wins the White House and give us 4-8 more years of hell. Paul might be great, but he's not going to win. The only way to achieve real change is to support a candidate that is actually electable, like Clinton or Obama. Sorry to burst your collective bubble.
"They're trying to get the attention of the mainstream media, almost like a child that is acting up, trying go get the attention of their parent," McIntosh said.
Ha ha.
'
The anti Ron Paul crowd, such as McIntosh, are the children, acting up. Screaming, covering their ears and trying to ignore the adult reality.
What a great day to be a Revolutionist! Way to go everyone... and Merry X-Mas Ron Paul!
Will we be calling him Mr President or Dr President??? :-)
Number 52 and any other spineless defeatists...
"May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may history forget you were ever our countryman."
If this be treason, lets make the most of it!
If it wasn't clear before, it certainly is now. It's 1:30 AM central - no news of broken fund raising record yet (6.1 mill). If this were jesus-juice drinking huckabee (GOOGLE HUCKABEE JESUS JUICE) or the lecherous queen hillary all news outlets would be firing out 15 minute updates and send big red balloons an confetti up the second the record was broken.
It's about time to leave this commie farce of a media behind, the only reason I post a comment is so my countrymen can read it, otherwise I wouldn't pee on the boston globe servers if they were on fire. The information monopoly is broken - so is the illusion of an independent press. The 'Alternative' media is swallowing up your readership, you are on the way out.
This is a badly written article, the actual official Online totals:
online total raised: $6,043,022.96
online donations: 59,170
Note that these are online only. This does not include mailed contributions or phone contributions
Consider:
Dr. Paul has a CLEAN history in both how he lives and how he votes.
Michael, you're confused.
Ron Paul tols some college students once:" why should people pay for the cost of YOUR education?"
Nobody paid for my education. And I have a LOT of educated friends who are minorities. They paid their own way as well. Ron Paul is for SMALLER goverment while you are obviously on the old die hards who wishes to keep BIG goverment. Sorry pal, Americans have had enough.
RON PAUL 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RON PAUL IS THE DEVIL
Bravo Dr. Paul! The movement behind your campain continues to surprise me, and I could not be more pleased. Keep it up!
Ron Paul is waking up the World, not just the USA! Check out: http://www.whowouldtheworldelect.com/
He is the only politician (I use the word hesitantly in relation to RP) to ever stimulate me. Unfortunately, as a Brit I can't vote for him, but he certainly has my support. One day we too may get someone worth voting for.
Well done everyone, keep spreading the word.
I’ve seen several posts here claiming that Ron Paul will “save” America.
Folks, Ron Paul cannot save America.
Only we, the American people, can save America. We can start to take responsibility for raising our own children instead of turning them over to governmental, bureaucratic institutions – I’m homeschooling my kids. We can start to take responsibility for our own finances and our own retirement instead of trusting government programs such as “Social Security.” And we can start teaching ourselves and our children what the Founding Fathers meant by “natural rights,” “limited government,” and “entangling alliances with none.”
Only that will save America.
President Ron Paul can surely do one thing – end this evil war. And that’s a good enough reason to support him – I contributed on both 11-5 and 12-16. But, as Dr. Paul repeatedly reminds us, the President is not a dictator: Congress actually has the upper hand. President Paul can veto a few outrageous spending bills, avoid creating new monstrosities such as “No Child Left Behind,” etc. But he cannot turn this country around by himself.
I certainly hope that Ron Paul takes the oath of office on January 20, 2009. But, even if he does, the real effort will only have begun. Americans have endured a century of welfare-state dependency, overseas imperialist adventures, and grotesque invasions of civil liberties (e.g., the “War on Drugs”). Our fellow citizens now think of this as normal life. The real promise of the Ron Paul Revolution is that millions of ordinary people may start to look at our country and ourselves and see what we have lost – the sense of self-reliance, independence, and natural liberty which the Founding Fathers took for granted.
Only when Americans realize what they have lost can America be saved. That’s what Congressman Paul is trying to help us learn.
Ron Paul: American Eagle vs. the Repubadem pidgeons
As a student In 1968 I supported Gene McCarthy for president because of his opposition to the War on Drugs and promise to get us out of a foreign quagmire. In my present old codger reincarnation, I just sent Dr. Paul a bunch of money for the same reasons.
I'm a Democrat who recently switched my party affiliation to vote for Ron Paul in the primary.
Hey, Ron Paul supporters - remember to switch your party affiliation NOW if you are not already a Republican so you can vote in the primary too!!!
DEMOCRATS FOR RON PAUL!!!!!!!!!!
POWER TO THE PEOPLE! RON PAUL WILL WIN. WE WILL NO LONGER ALLOW THE MANIPULATED REPUBLICAN POLLS TO CONVINCE US HE CANNOT. If he wins the internet and the straw polls so much, it is NOT Logical that he is low in the Republican Polls. Did you see the Utube of the San Francisco Club Straw Poll where the lady CHANGED THE RULES WHEN SHE SAW 75 Ron. P. supporter to say "We have decided (on the spot) that those who pay %5 as we said will be able to vote...only those who paid $33 for dinner and vote. A man stood up and said that he would pay $33 for each of theRP supporters, and she CANCELLED THE VOTE...HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT MANIPULATION OF THE POLLS EXAMPLE.
BECOME A DELEGATE,IN CASE HE DOES NOT WIN ON THE FIRST ROUND.

It is doubtful Ron Paul's agenda is to 'save' America. However, I do believe he is doing the best he can by preserving the Constitution for the American people. His plan to return to basics and restore self pride in people is a gigantic task.
It is NOT the taxpayer's duty to support 'free everything'. Anything 'free' is seldom appreciated. It is human nature for us to EARN our merits. We have been trained to expect others to hand out our living and comforts for so long people must be re-trained to fend for themselves. Only then will self-respect and pride emerge from within.
I believe Ron Paul is trying to instill these ingredients within the minds of all.
At last someone who's willing to put their neck on the line and fight against the corruption and lies of the majority of politicians..
Hey if Ron gets the nod please send someone similar over here to the UK, hell I might even consider voting again in Britain if that happened!

I wanted to donate, but not allowed to due to being from the UK. Go Ron Go!
Ron paul, .......... America's Vladimer Putin.
If you want the standard of living you are used to to exist, and you to be paid in real money, vote for Ron Paul.
If you do not, well, the 1900's are filled with examples on what a faltering currency and war does to countries.
