Fredroots Aim for Ron Paul-Style Moneybomb

Here's an interesting grassroots attempt to use viral marketing to raise big bucks for Fred Thompson. Could they top Ron Paul's astounding $4 million day? Well, yes they could. Fred's received donations from more than 100,000 people so far in the race. If each gave another $100, they could raise $10 million in a single day. Will they? Probably not. But either way the era of grassroots online fundraising has arrived. Where once the non-rich could only be small contributors to a political campaign, now they can be bigtime fund-raisers too.
