Taking a page out of the old Ron Paul playbook, [Gary Johnson has announced](http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/?ref=ivn.us) that he has raised over $250,000 from over 3,000 different supporters in his campaign's latest "money bomb." For those not familiar with the term "[money bomb](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moneybomb?ref=ivn.us)," it refers to a short-term fundraising campaign targeted at small dollar donors in mass numbers. Ron Paul's 2008 Presidential campaign was the first campaign to coin the term and run such a successful campaign. On November 5th and December 16th of 2007, the Paul campaign hauled in over $[4.2 million](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd1kLATVljY&ref=ivn.us) and over $6 [million](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KCrvxZAsO8&ref=ivn.us), respectively.

With little media exposure and less household name ID, the "money-bomb" is a powerful tool that could keep the Johnson campaign ticking, despite the billions of dollars in the war chests of the two major candidates. As Johnson and his supporters put increasing [pressure on CNN](https://ivn.us/2012/07/17/gary-johnson-supporters-protest-media-blackout-across-nation/) and the major media outlets to include him in the debates, will this ability to raise money online provide the resources they need to get him on stage?
