Begging has been elevated to an art form by the professional fundraisers; as much as I enjoy reading all these conflicting and conflicted posts here on a regular basis I still feel that the detractors of this site take great pleasure in this quarterly ritual that only fuels the engines of criticism and serves in no small way to detract from our status as a grass-roots group of concerned citizens.
That having been said, I wish your campaign the speediest success.
As Lady Jag pointed out with her great grahpic, if everyone donated $5/month there would be no freepathons.
We would still have controversy, conflicting opinions and brown shirted liberal trolls pretending to be conservatives.
