With a potential house-purchase on the horizon and a tight budget in effect, donations are tough for Amie and I. We're consistently contacted by organizations we've donated to in the past; WBUR Public Radio, the ASPCA, NARAL, the Animal Rescue League of Boston; they all come calling but we sadly just can't spare the change.
There's only one cause left we both contribute to, and that's the presidential campaign of Howard Dean. We believe in him strongly, and sending a little of our money his way is empowering, involving, and exciting... even if it is just a small amount every few months. We usually save them for the end-of-the-quarter fundraising drives, but this dispatch from campaign manager Joe Trippi has caused us to move up our donations up a bit, and maybe even add a little bit extra. He says... Yesterday George Bush took time off from his vacation to go fundraising again, this time in Portland, Oregon. At just one event he brought in $1 million from 500 of his biggest contributors. Outside the fundraiser more than 2,000 Americans gathered to speak out against Bush�s failed policies, which have ruined our economy and damaged our standing in the world community. Yet pocketing $1 million dollars was enough for George W. Bush to thank the people of Portland for their �warm welcome.�We're listening Joe, and the money is digitally on the way. As of 11am on the first of five days, donations are already over $100,000. A million bucks by Tuesday? Lookin' good. Join in, will you? Every little bit helps us take the power back.  |
