Boy you have a lot of supporters out there

After the debate, Rudy Giuliani and Ron Paul chatted and Dr. Paul relayed the details of that chat to an eagerly awaiting audience. This is what Dr. Paul said went down.

Rudy and he were talking and The conversation went something like this:

Rudy Giuliani: "Boy you have a lot of supporters out there"
Ron Paul : "Yes, but Rudy (covers mouth with hand as he says "oh!") do you know that it's only beginning"

Absolutely hilarious! Check out the Video below!

Canvassing for Ron Paul

Hey Everyone, I am going to be using my days off to go out and Canvas an area with Ron Paul information. If you live in the Wenatchee/East Wenatchee Area and are (or want to be) a part of the Ron Paul meetup group and help me out, that would be great news.

Here is the link to our meetup group (http://ronpaul.meetup.com/787)

Below you will find a map of the areas that I have canvassed so far. The green is my currently planned area and the blue is the area that I have covered so far.

So, today was the first day and I admittedly got started late. Here are the results of today's efforts though

1. Handed out a bunch of Ron Paul Slim Jims.
   
2. Everyone that I talked to was very pleasant
   
3. All but 3 people took the Slim Jim. The 3 that didn't said the following:
   
   
   
   • "Is he a Democrat or Republican?" and then were not interested when they found out he was a republican
     
   • "I am already well informed about the candidates"
     
   • "We are not interested in politics here"
     
   
   For those that were not interested I thanked them anyway and wished them well. There were zero negative reactions.
   
4. The second to last person I visited was already a Ron Paul supporter like us, and wants to join the meetup group. He invited me in and we had a nice conversation about Dr. Paul and politics. It was very exciting to say the least. I am excited to see him at the next meetup on Nov. 25th.
   

So, that is how the day went. If there is a way I can share this so others that are willing to door to door canvassing I will do so, otherwise, if you are doing door-to-door then please map it out at maps.google.com, save the map and send me the link and I will add your efforts to my map. This map updates automatically, so please bookmark the page and come back and see how I am doing.

3.7million - 9:20PM EST

3,721,747.72

As of 9:20 PM EST the number above is the total raised so far today in the 5th Of November moneybomb. That is correct 3.7 MILLION!!!

I got that number by taking the current total from the website and subtracting from it the beginning number as reported by the WSJ.

"Paul tracks his donations in real time on his web site. The clock started ticking at midnight when current donations were listed at $2,773,017.02. At the time of this posting — eight hours into the 24 hour effort — he had raised more than $1 million for a total of $3,805,615. In the time it took to write this post, he raised more than $30,000. The campaign has set a $12 million fundraising goal for the fourth quarter, which ends Dec. 31"

What a total, and with just under 3 hours to go, we may well hit the $4 million mark!!!

With that said, let's do this again at Christmas. A Dec. 25th Moneybomb. Merry Christmas Dr. Paul!

5th of November...25th of December!!!

Hello again friends,

The November 5th Moneybomb for Dr. Paul is fantastic. Last time I checked it was at 3+ million for the day. Wish I had thought of that idea!!! :)

So I figure now, why don't we piggyback on that idea and make 25 December another moneybomb day for Dr. Paul? We could call it Christmas for Dr. Paul or something. I am sure that someone much more capable than myself could promote this and we could raise at least 6 million next month!!!! Let's put Dr. Paul over the top and do another moneybomb on the 25th of December!

Merry Christmas Dr. Paul! Merry Christmas!

6 hours....434,000

Can we, fellow Ron Paul supporters, raise $434,000 in just 6 hours? That is just over $1200/minute. I say we go for it and see if we can't hit $3million this month....

GO RON PAUL!

Ron Paul Meetup Groups - MAP

Meetup group maps for some of the Presidential Candidates....Isn't it amazing how few meetup groups there are for Rudy, Hillary, Obama compared to Ron Paul? OK, no it is not amazing at all. Ron Paul is great, and the others are a disgrace to this country and themselves.

GO RON PAUL!

Drop Zone, Part II

Some people have asked me "Zag, what exactly is a drop zone?" So I thought I would explain it here as well as make an update so that I could resubmit it to the proper sites as well as explain how I plan on not only making ChipIn work for me, but help others as well.

A Drop Zone is simply a place where people that Skydive can go to...well, Skydive :) Where I am located there is not a place to skydive within 2 hours in any direction, so I would like to create that business here. It is a tourist area, so there will be plenty of customers during the summer months.

OK, that's cool, but $150,000? That is a lot of money. True!, $150k is indeed a lot of money, but for that money this is what we will be purchasing:

• 1 Cessna 182 (used, older)
  
• 4 tandem skydiving rigs
  
• 4 student skydiving rigs
  
• Misc. Drop Zone related gear (goggles, jumpsuits, etc.)
  

Sounds dangerous!!!. Yeah, it does sound dangerous and in some ways it is. You are exiting an aircraft at 10,000 feet in the air, so in that respect it is dangerous, however, the training for people that skydive is also intense and more than anything SAFETY comes first.

So Zag, you mentioned how you were going to use ChipIn to help others as well, how do you plan to do that?

I plan on using ChipIn to help others by using a percentage of monthly profit to donate to other ChipIn's like this one (example) to make their Chipin a reality.

So how much are you planning on chipping in Zag

I am making a promise to chipin to other projects the same amount that I raise in my own chipin, so If I raise $150k, then I will chipin money to to other projects until I have chipped in $150k. If I raise $30k, then I will chip in $30k.

The goal for me is to get my business off the ground and up and running and then contributing to helping others with their projects whatever they may be with a portion of my own profits.

OK Zag, that's cool and all but why $150k instead of say the $30k you would need to go and get a bank loan for the rest?

Good question. I thought long and hard about this before I decided to make the ChipIn thing. The answer is, what would I really feel better about? Would I feel better about borrowing $120-150k from the bank and then paying that back with interest over the course of 10+ years, or would I feel better not having to pay back the bank and maybe helping someone else start their business, or funding other projects that people might need money for? Well, I feel that I would be much happier being indebtted to my fellow man and paying that back by helping others much like I am asking people for help to get my business started.

Feel free to ask me any questions. I will always answer them even if it takes a day or two :)

Regards,

Greg

Take the PoliticalBase Who Should I vote for Quiz

Who should I vote for for president in 2008?

You match up well with...

	Ron Paul - 65 match Congrats, you have very socially conservative Libertarian...err... Republican points of view. Ron Paul, who is known in Washington as "Dr. No" because of consistently rejects proposals that do not adhere strictly to the original constitution, was once the Libertarian Party's pick for President till he changed sides a few years ago. He's a favorite of technologists and the Internet community mostly for his hands off approach to... well anything.
	Dennis Kucinich - 65 match Denis Kucinich, an Ohio congressman, is a far-left liberal democrat. He has the most extreme proposals for nearly every issue including creating a single-payer system of universal health care; an immediate withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iraq and replacing them with an international security force; and guaranteeing quality education with free pre-kindergarten and college. He even wants to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. Needless to say, Kucinich is a no-hope contender.
	Mike Gravel - 57 match Mike Gravel is your chosen candidate. He is a former senator from Alaska who is deeply left-wing and has spent his time since the Senate, which he left in 1980, in the private sector. His credited for his efforts in ending the draft following the Vietnam War and the release of the Pentagon Papers as well. He has been an outspoken proponent of direct democracy, gay rights, and even making it a felony to keep troops in Iraq. Gravel is bringing new ideas to the table but they are only attracting less than 1% of Democrats.

Take the test.

Ron Paul is now a 'top-tier' candidate !!!

Donate $5 to Ron Paul by simply blogging this!
http://www.usaelectionpolls.com has written up a piece proving how Ron Paul was treated unfairly at the CNBC TV Debate the other day. He was so offened by such gross bias that he decided it was right to donate to Ron Paul in defiance.

I recommend going over there to check out their analysis, at the very least. If you'd like to do the "free" donate option:
Step 1: Repost this, or some variation of it, INCLUDING THE LINK TO THE ARTICLE, in your blog or maybe even the Myspace forums would qualify if you get there first. (I suspect there'd be no point in including that last part in your repost
Step 2: Email usaelectionpolls@gmail.com with the link etc.
The article: http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008/articles/ron-paul-silenced-at-cnbc-debate-transcript.html

I found this to be quite funny.
