I just got this email from the meetup group list, figured I'd pass the word:
We need to help the campaign perform a $10 Donation Server STRESS TEST on November 11th from 7:00 to 8:00 PM eastern time.
Everyone needs to give just Ten Dollars on November 11th from 7:00 to 8:00 PM eastern time.
This server test has three purposes:
#1 To give RON PAUL the greatest number of small donations in a single hour (and thus more free media coverage).
#2 To lend an additional boost to the www.ThisNovember11th.com Veteran's Day fundraiser.
#3 To STRESS TEST the RON PAUL 2008 donation server leading up to the BOSTON TEA PARTY on December 16th -- http://www.teaparty07.com/.
The e-Campaign Director, Justine Lam, is aware of and supportive of this initiative and has said that "Yes, I think we could handle it".
Now it is up to us to perform the $10 test to find out.
Pass the word. Donate!

I think this is a dumb thing to do. Why would you "stress" test on a moneybomb day for a lousy $10 a pop? What if they do manage to overstress the donation servers? They could cost Dr. Paul a couple hundred thousand dollars.
