Miami, FL – In another sign of growing momentum, U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio (R-FL) today announced that his campaign raised approximately $1.75 million during the Fourth Quarter of 2009. The overwhelming majority of this money was raised for the Republican primary and, when fundraising reports are filed with the Federal Election Commission later this week, Rubio for Senate will report approximately $2 million cash-on-hand.
“Every day, I continue to be humbled and energized by the outpouring of support from those who believe America should stay true to the principles of limited government, traditional values and individual freedom,” stated Rubio. “The best measure of our movement’s success will always be real people standing up on behalf of these principles that have made America the greatest country in history.
“Elections are neither fundraising nor popularity contests. Supporter by supporter and idea by idea, we are building a campaign that is proving ideas still matter most in our democracy, but I know we have to continue working even harder against the most prolific fundraiser in Florida history.
“We’re on pace in meeting our goals, and I am as confident as ever that we will have the resources to deliver our message and be successful. As we look to the long road ahead, I pledge to continue speaking with a clear voice on behalf of the ideals that are uniting voters across Florida behind our cause.”



[...] 26th, 2010 • 1:18 pmMarco On the Move Based on these fundraising numbers, Marco Rubio is definitely surging at the right time. That’s before talking about his surge [...]
I am a Registered Repub. who has refused to donate to the nat’l GOP because of REP. leaders who are moving away from our traditional values.
I have chosen to send my support to conservative candidates regardless of the state they are running in. If enough people put their money on people who want to put this country back on track, and away from onerous taxes and big, intrusive gov’t.
For this reason I”VE JUST CONTRIBUTED TO Marco Rubio even though I live in California. GOOD LUCK, MARCO!!
Well, I don’t give out too much money for politics. Having said that, if I do give a small donation, it will most certainly go to a conservative. I won’t give to the Republicans again since there are so many RINOs out there. And other Republicans have no backbone. Rubio will most certainly get my vote. And I would give to him before I would give to the Republicans. I like what I hear so far!
Go Marco Go, I have been following your run for the Senate from here in Illinois and hope the momentum brings a victory.
