Ron Paul Raises $2.75 Million in Five-Day Money Bomb Fundraiser

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas brought in more than $2.75 million in a money bomb launched on Wednesday and ended on Monday for his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

More than 44,500 Paul supporters gave to the Texas congressman and, most impressively, almost 40,500 were unique donors. The average donation was just under $62.

This money bombs success conveys that Ron Pauls supporters, whether independent or loosely organized, are poised to dig in deep and back him even during this government-imposed economic downturn, said Jesse Benton, Pauls national chairman, in a statement released on Monday. This bloc of voters supporting Dr. Paul is growing and is comprised of generous Americans having no plans to switch to another candidate.
