His campaign has the distinction of using their official website to raise $1.2mil in one week, but now an independent group of supporters have set up a web site, This November 5th, to try and coordinate a massive collaborative donation effort on one day to make some noise. They currently have over 10,000 people who have comitted to donating $100 each, bringing the total to $1mil in one day, and have the goal of getting 100,000 people to join in on the scheme for a grand total of $10mil.
