thebestofronpaul.blogspot.com — Ron Paul is a very humble man and will not brag about how he raised the $5 million this quarter. Gino Casternovia, a close personal friend, sent Ron a check for $1000 from a corporation he works for. Ron Paul returned the money with a letter stating he does not accept donations from corporations.Did you get that?

Ron was simply following the law. He doesn't deserve recognition for that.

"Yeah, it's illegal to accept donations from corporations, genius"Wow, that's precious. Thanks for the heads up, non-genius."Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama ran ahead of New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D) and former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani (R) on their home turf in the first quarter, raising cash from the biggest investment banks on Wall Street.The Illinois senator raised $479,209 from employees at the banks in the quarter, according to Federal Election Commission filings. Giuliani collected $473,442, and Clinton got $447,625. The figures reflect giving from the employees of Bear Stearns, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, as well as Goldman and UBS. Goldman employees gave about 50 percent more to presidential hopefuls than the next-highest set of givers, at Citigroup."They say the donation is from 'the employees', that's the loophole. The article stresses the point that you'll NEVER see a dime go to Ron Paul from Wall Street Banks' 'employees' because he won't accept the donations.You bone heads get it yet? You think Clinton will raise $100 million from individuals? No wonder we're in the shape we're in.

No, but she'll raise a s**tload more than Paul will, and that's the rub.

Something is happening here don't be surprised if Ron Paul supporters keep doing what they are doing. Dec 16th Ron Paul supporters raised $6million, breaking Johon Kerry's one day record. Ron Paul supporters are very motivated. Dr. Ron Paul cured my apathy. I don't wait until the primaries are over and then go with whom ever my party chooses. People want to make a choice for themselves. The national polls are way off for the republicans and the democrats. Ron Paul wins the republican side and Edwards wins the Dems side, yet the national polls don't show this. Paul has won most of the Straw Polls, yet it is not reported. Check this info out for yourself. Also check who won the first National Caucus, Ron Paul did, in both the republican side and the open voting. God bless.
