Got Tea?

Wow. Roughly 34,000 people pledged 100 dollars to today’s Tea Party online fundraiser for Ron Paul, which means $3.4M was pledged for today. It’s 2:30 and over $3M is already donated, with a $122 average donation. This does not include checks that get mailed in. We are well on the way to crushing the $4.2M record for November 5th.

Please give today if you haven’t already to get a true leader, who is not afraid to talk about hard questions to American citizens, rather than like children to pay off with easy promises on what to do with our own tax money and debt. (I should also remind folks that he is a steadfast pro-lifer and an OB-GYN who has delivered thousands of babies, practicing medicine even as a Representative.)

I’ve thought about the presidential rhetoric promising to unify and heal our divided country. I tend to find it tiresome, but the ultra-parochial, no-compromises culture that often permeated the Bush White House does give one pause! Obama in particular loves to emphasize unity.

Cool Ad Coming America’s Way

A private citizen is releasing this ad on USA Today for November 21. Rumor has it that it’ll be in the first section, right-hand side, which to my ears sounds about ideal.

This is an aspect of the Paul campaign that has impressed me greatly; ordinary schlubs without a PAC or minor fortune to their names usually can’t make a dent in a presidential campaign. However, individual contributions and individual initiatives are huge in the Paul campaign, such as the Tea Party and the November 5th fundraiser. A wonderful change of pace indeed.

In what seems to be an open attempt to appease and woo Catholic voters, Bush will
be meeting with the Pope in June. I hope he isn’t looking for just a pat on the
back and a smile.
