To the Editor:

I am shocked and appalled at your lack of coverage concerning the recent fundraising efforts of Republican candidate Dr. Ron Paul. By the time of this letter’s publication, it will have been three days since the record-shattering third-party efforts of Ron Paul supporters, which resulted in raising approximately $4.2 million online in a single day.

Even Rolling Stone magazine published a piece on Dr. Paul’s success within hours of its occurrence.

Thanks Alexander. Well put good points. You must remember though, this is corrupt, bought-and-paid-for, ant-USA, skull-and-bones country. Its Yale dammit.

Unfortunately it took segregationist Governor Wallace to reveal the truth that "there's not a dime's worth of difference between" Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats willingly went along with the War in Iraq, suspension of Habeas Corpus, detaining protesters, banning books like "America Deceived' from Amazon, stealing private lands (Kelo decision), warrant-less wiretapping and refusing to investigate 9/11 properly. They are both guilty of treason.

Support Dr. Ron Paul and save this great nation.

Well, there are also a lot of other events in the national news that the Yale Daily News overlooks. I'm sorry your pet issue didn't receive special attention, but really, I don't know what the Yale connection to this would be.

"I am shocked and appalled at your lack of coverage concerning the recent fundraising efforts of Republican candidate Dr. Ron Paul."

Thank God: some shock-and-appall in the right places; and good for YDN for publishing this letter in support of Ron Paul.

"although Dr. Paul fell short of Hillary’s single-day record"

Although the Clinton campaign claimed this recently nothing in the FEC filings supports this claim, as a representative from the Paul campaign pointed out. The press conference is viewable on YouTube. The Clinton campaign has yet to explain how they arrived at this figure. Perhaps it was simply more cash from China they forgot to document.

Skull-And-Bones, baby. Skull-And-Bones says it all. Gotta love Skull-And-Bones. Meet me at Bohemian Grove! Let's finish crashing the USA and create a North American Union before ole Dr. Paul can stop us. (sinister laugh goes here). Exit left.

We voted with our wallets.

Soon we will vote in the primaries.

They will try to steal the elections with those paperless electronic voting machines.
