Rubio says campaign brought in more than $1 million
by Michael C. Bender | October 16th, 2009Republican Marco Rubio said today he collected $1,010,980 for his U.S. Senate campaign during the third quarter of the year. Rubio, running an underdog campaign against Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, said earlier this month that his total was just under the $1 million mark.
Rubio’s campaign reports they have about $900,000 cash on hand after raising a total of $1.6 million for the entire year. Crist has raised more than $6 million in about half of the time.
“This is nothing less than a strong statement about the direction people believe our Republican Party, our state and our nation should take,” Rubio said in a prepared statement. ” I am thankful for this outpouring of support from those who believe principled conservative leadership is needed to maintain America’s greatness. With their help, we are laying and expanding the foundation for success in 2010.”

I have never donated to a political campaign before, but I will donate to Rubio’s.
Governor Crist is a career politician and a RINO. I am tired of business as usual.
