CNN, thank you for this report.
This is wonderful news for Congressman Ron Paul. His contributions are increasing because Americans all over the country are responding to his ideas of limited government, fiscal responsibility and non- intervention. Check him out: http://www.ronpaul2008.com
He's really the only credible Presidential candidate. Let's return integrity and freedom to politics.
According to The Center for Responsive Politics, Ron Paul gets only 25% of his money from donors of $2300 or more. Compare this to his competitors: Giuliani 63%; Romney 48%; McCain 45%; Clinton 74%; Obama 49%.
The big percentage difference shows that Ron Paul supporters are MANY in number, and are average working Americans with whom his message resonates. Ron Paul's message of liberty and personal responsibility harkens back to the Constitution as rendered by our Founding Fathers. Ron Paul is a true patriot and really is our only "hope for America."

I gave Ron Paul $25. My friends and family that support him gave $0 this quarter. I think we can account for $500 next quarter.
I love Ron Paul!
