RNC boasts record-breaking fundraising for September
(CNN) – The Republican National Committee raised $9.1 million in September, its highest amount yet for a month during a non-election year.
The numbers represent about a $1 million bump in its fundraising efforts from August, which brought in $8.17 million.
With more than $11 million in the bank, the group also boasted a $1.5 million decrease in debt, bringing its total debt down to $14.5 million.
The current debt level reflects a continued drop from the $25 million Reince Priebus assumed when he took over as the RNC chair in January.
The Democratic National Committee has yet to release its fundraising figures for September.

Occupy USA will prevail this election – NOT the Dollar Signs the RIGHT feel they can raise with most of it coming from "corrupt America!!" Yes we Can!!!
Obama/Biden 2012!!
So does this mean that the GOP will buy the election since they are the $$ winner?
How can any member of the 99% send money to the lying limp wristed republican party? The money has to be coming from the wealthy, big oil, big corporations, and everyone's favorite democracy destroyers: the Kochs.
Buy elections and outright cheat at the polls, just ask Al Gore.
Money isn't what this election process should be about. It should be about responsibility, leadership, and above all, ethical conduct.
We haven't had ethical, indeed I question even legal, conduct from Obama. That's the bottom line.
OWS....Here's a prime example of the why nothing will ever change in our courts ,congress or the White house....Money Money Money Money...GET IT OUT OF POLITICS !!!
@Wire: Don't forget about the CLOWNS that voted for Bush not only once but TWICE. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaake Uuuuuuuuuuuup People.
Weinuss Pereimuss is a front man for all the multi-national corporations buying our government.
The only way Romeny can win, is if he promises to run as VP under Hillary Clinton. His chances are remote, at best.
Don't care. How about record breaking job-raising month? GOP the party of NO except when it comes to accepting cash then like in the worlds profession than it is yes all the way.
Voting for republicans after they almost destroyed our country, is like people trying to acquire the Bubonic Plague.
Rick McDanials: The bottom line is you need to put down the KOOLAID and start thinking for yourself, JEEZ
How much did the wingnuts send to Donald Trump?
Hate, greed and bigotry are good characteristics in a population you want to milk for political contributions.

This corrupt administration wouldn't know what ethical or legal conduct is even if it slapped them in the face.
Better than money, the GOP has a stronger platform for the solution of America's greatest problems right now. The economy is at the top of the list and try as he may and after way too many speeches about what he's gonna do, it is what it is and he owns it.
The Republican Party will just have to rely on solid economics and ideas to forward with that benefit all Americans. I think this will carry the vote much better than a pile of excuses. I look forward to a Republican Administration, House, and Senate and Republican Governorships across the country. Republicans will enter 2013 with a clear mandate to get the government working for the country again and to get control of our financial future.
They didn't actually raise this money, it is their commission they get paid from wealthy people who are on the Bush tax holiday and want the vacation to never end. It is actually a very low amount of money considering how much they are saving by not paying fair taxes.Remember the good ol days when the wealthy paid a fair rate of tax and the country prospered, and Republicans were the minority in office ?
2012 is going to come down to who is the more funded party..its sad that this is what politics in America has come to. No matter what we want the GOP and the Democrats too will continue to serve the large corporations and donors. People its time to take a stand if they won't listen THEY MUST GO
Looks like the Kochs kicked in some of the Profit they made in THEIR DEALS WITH IRAN. Bloomberg investigation has the proof, but the republicans don't want to bite the hand that gives them their election-buying money,
