Unless you help, The Guy James Show ENDS NOW.

[benburch]

Folks,

I know that you have been giving to liberal causes until you see nothing but red ink.

But, here is something that has to happen NOW, or it will be lost for good;

The Guy James Show is in great danger of not being able to pay its airtime fee for this week. I think the Hurricane may have something to do with it as does all of the campaign contributions that people have been giving, but be that as it may, the need is critical now.

The radio station is eager to replace him with another Right Winger, and all of the freepers who have been calling and saying that he would fail will have a Great Day when that happens. And do any of us want a freeper to feel good about anything???

Please, Please, Please, help support the Guy James Show.

Donate at; http://www.theguyjamesshow.com/contribute.html

Thanks so much.

[Placebo]

1. Oy, we can't allow that to happen!

Lets NOT throw the freepers a freakin' bone.

[vetwife]

122. Kick it on up !

[proud patriot]

2. Great show

:kick:

[benburch]

3. Thanks for the kick! nt

[benburch]

4. BTW, he needs about $2000 to keep going for another month...

Folks, that is $50 from 40 of you. I have already put in $50 on my part, but here is what I will do. For each and every one of you who donate and post here the amount, I will match 5% of the amount you donate, such that if the full $2000 is raised, I will donate an additional $100.

I know that even in this economy, there are those of you who could afford to give to a worthy cause such as this one, and I hope you will step up to the plate with this added inducement of matching funds.

[benburch]

5. Kick!

[nostamj]

8. does this mean

the backer that Guy mentioned didn't like last week's show?

nuts.

[benburch]

9. Not sure, but...

my communications with Guy are that he quickly needs to raise about 2 grand or it is kaput. This is for the next month's airtime payment. The radio station will not cut him any slack or give him any sort of deal as they have Republicans who are willing to pay cash on the barrelhead for Guy's time slot.

And once he loses it, there is no way they will be giving it up to him while George Bush is in office.

I'd come up with the whole sum if I could, but with my match promise and my recent contribution, I am in for 7.5% of the total.

And I'm broke.

There have GOT to be 39 other people on DU with $50 to put to a whole month's worth of airtime for this worthy show!

[AmerDem]

10. What chance is there that AAR might pick him up?

I really never listened to the man but he seems to have a nice following. Sounds like he would fit in well at AAR.

[benburch]

11. Small.

It took them months to pick up Mike Malloy, and he had an "in" with them.

The only way this show will survive is if WE make it survive.

I encourage you to head over to my site, http://www.WhiteRoseSociety.org and give a listen to some of Guy's archived shows!

[vetwife]

12. This is a swing state Folks...I know there are people here who can dig

a little deeper. I have made several phone calls..........
We got to have this voice. There are so many depending on his voice.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPllllllease.......If I can give. And trust me with 7 people and 4 of which disabled and one check coming in, then you can.
Freedom isn't free, Airtime isn't free. We got only 80 days till the election and we need GUY'S VOICE..It actually could mean the difference between who carries Florida. He has won over many swing voters. From Ohio to Florida. DIG !

[benburch]

13. Amen.

The need has NEVER been more urgent.

[vetwife]

14. On behalf of Veterans everywhere Please show me 40 people

on this thread by this evening who has donated to keep Guy on. 40 people giving 50.00 or 80 people giving 25.00.
This is fighting the right wing. This is helping veterans because people like me can get the message out. This is people calling in to Guy and showing how we have connected the dots to bring down Bush and the GOP. I don't make any money helping vets. You can help vets by keeping Guy on the AIR..TODAY !
SHOW just 40 donations TODAY of 50.00
VETWIFE.....................urging you to help !

[vetwife]

15. Amer Dem..He is better than Franken ! But getting him national

exposure takes time !

[vetwife]

16. Kick to the top

[benburch]

17. Remember to let me know what you've donated...

...so that I can send off the 5% matching grant.

Either post here, or email me at [e-mail]

[vetwife]

19. HOW MUCH IS YOUR ANGER AT THE SWIFTIES WORTH?

GUY TAKES THESE ISSUES AND COUNTERATTACKS THEM EACH WEEK.
GUY IS NOT A RICH MAN..HE HAS BEEN CARRYING THIS SHOW EVERY WEEK.
I SHOULD BE FROM MISSOURI BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO SHOW ME...PLEASE..
MY VETS..YOUR VETS..THE TRUE VETS NEED A VOICE AND HERE IS ONE !
HE HAS FOUGHT THE STATION, THE AREA, HURRICANES...NOW PLEASE IF YOU THINK ABOUT THIS, THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IS COMING UP..ARE WE GONNA GET ANY FEEDBACK TO HELP US KEEP UP THE FIGHT FROM THE WINGERS. NO WE ARE GETTING DEPRESSED. THINK OF THS AS THERAPY MONEY !
HAVE YOU GOT FORTY BUCKS, FIFTY BUCK OR 100 BUCKS OF ANGER..SEND IT TO THE GUY JAMES SHOW AND TELL BEN BURCH. BEN DOES THE RECORDING AND ARCHIVING......THANK BEN AS WELL ..I THANK BEN FOR HIS GENEROSITY.

[eleny]

18. Just donated

Folks, another two months is so important. If I can do it in my retirement, I know there are folks out there who can give a few dollars. Let's try to at least keep Guy on until the election.

We all can't go down to Florida to give of our time and energy to help the Kerry campaign. But giving a few dollars is a way to help get Florida in the Kerry column.

Picture Kerry taking the oath of office for the Presidency of the United States. Isn't it worth it to give up something small for that and make a $5.00 donation for Guy's voice?

Paypal makes it so easy. http://www.theguyjamesshow.com/contribute.html

[vetwife]

20. Thanks Eleney...NOW OTHERS STEP UP !

[benburch]

27. Up to $250!

Keep it going!

[benburch]

28. Guy says "Thanks!"

On his part, Guy is calling everybody he knows or has even heard of who might be able to help out.

We cannot do this thing without your support, and no donation is too small. Even a dollar helps!

[vetwife]

29. Look folks..Our vets are being wrung over the coals..Guy's voice helps

I know this. I am seeing the despair. I am seeing the heartache. If you are reading these threads then you know it too. Please..Give..We need his voice to counterattack. Or else we might as well just get used to 4 more years because voices like this cannot be silenced. We are preaching to the choir here but Guy reaches a lot of people. Put in a donation. I don't call Randi ....And Al Franken wouldn' give me the time of day to speak up for veterans. Guy lets me and other people who speak out for veterans and tell the truth about Bush. Please give. We can't go down like this ! I don't get paid. Guy can't keep that show alive by himself and we all knew what silence sounded like during the hurricane. I am sure Guy appreciates the donation and I know we can do better than 250.00. Please Donate.

31. Done!

Guy is WAY to important to lose his voice now.

Thanks!

42. I donated $50, Ben.

Thanks for matching!

[DancingBear]

32. OK, I'll say it again

I live in a rural area, with very slow dial-up connections. I have NEVER heard one minute of Guy's show - but I just donated. Again.

We have a voice in the south, folks. Please don't let it die.

[vetwife]

33. Thanks Dancin Bear..Vetwife begging...This crap is killin our vets

Guy can shut them up..Guy can you get a hold of Ron Kovic for an interview?

[coreystone]

34. Do It NOW, TODAY .... while its fresh in your mind.....TOMORROW ...

may be too late. I'll be sending a $100.00 check to support an alternative of the "mainstream" and "right wing" media of which we are all so displeased. It will be in the mail tomorrow morning.

In addition to the honorable challange of "benburch", I will donate $10.00 for the next TEN donors who contribute by 8:00 (EST) this evening. Whatever you can muster!!

Do it now....there may not be a Guy on Saturday without our help!!

:kick:

[benburch]

35. Thanks, Coreystone!

I had included your $100 in the $250 already quoted as vetwife told me about it in an email.

52. OK, I'm a Bronze sponsor and...

if I can do 10.00 per month to keep a progressive voice in Florida (and I'm in Texas on dial up and never heard the man) then all of you who are employed and care about this country can probably do the same.

Give it some hard thought and donate.

on edit: I'm on dial-up and have NO problems streaming the show. or, at least, very rarely have a problem!

53. a NOTE on making a MONTHLY contribution

there's a good chance that it won't matter after this week. if fund are not raised IMMEDIATELY, there will be no show to take advantage of your generousity in making a monthly commitment.

MUCH better to contribute what you can NOW. if the show gets on its feet again, then make the monthly subscriptions.

[coreystone]

55. “wellstone_democrat”...whatever it will be appreciated...

WOW! I am already up to $50.00 on the matching contributions. If we continue to get responses like this, I may have to up my ante!!:kick:

[JanMichael]

56. Will donate something tomorrow...Damn I hope Guy makes it to 11-02-04

It'll suck majorly if Reichwing economics sink the show this bloody close.

And it's true that they'll replace him with another Nazi-wannabee blowhard.

kick...

[JanMichael]

57. I wonder if people realize how important TGJS is to SW FL Dems?

It's a rallying tool and to lose it NOW will be a disaster.

He's occupying turf in hostile territory, fighting in their backyard...

[coreystone]

58. "JanMichael" - thanks!....I hope eveyone realizes that Florida ..

could have been "BLUE" IN 2000. Everyvote counts, and if Guy James can touch just a few, it could make a difference for Florida. It could make a difference for our country!

TAKE IT BACK!
TAKE IT BACK!
HEY NOW, HEY NOW,
TAKE IT, TAKE IT .........
TAKE IT BACK!

[JanMichael]

59. Florida WAS Blue in 2000. But you toss in the Purge of 97,000 registered..

...voters who were mostly Black and mostly Dem and those stinking chads and butterfuck ballots wouldn't have made a damened bit of difference.

But you're right, it's THAT close and a few hundred voters swayed in heavily Repuke SW FL could make all the difference in the WORLD.

[jab105]

60. FUCKING CHENEY all of them!! $500!!!

Ok, ben and Corey...I just donated $500...match as much as you can to that...I just got a job, and I love Guy...he was so nice when I called a few months ago...

I'm in Florida, and I was screaming at the radio this afternoon when my local wingnuts went crazy on the air about the swift boat vets...

PS-If anyone can argue all the wingnuts on my website (its a debate site) would love you to join in...www.understandingpolitics.com

PPS-I'm in north central florida, where the little Gainesville Sun rift happened...umm, if you guys get a chance to call in to them...you can listen to what they say while on hold, its toll free...be calm, and reasonable...we NEED more callers who give it to them without the spin!!

http://thesky973.com/

The local shows are Bob Rose (6am-10am) and Chip Morris (3pm-6pm)...


PPPS-Can't donate to Democratic underground right now...maybe after the election, this is more important right now...

Good luck to you guy!

[benburch]

61. Dear gods!

:yourock:

[benburch]

62. I figure that we are at $850 now.

I will be dispatching a PayPal matching payment of $42.50 right now.

Another payment to go with tomorrow's total.

[jab105]

63. I download Thom Hartmann from your site all the time Ben...

thank you!!

On many cross state trips, it has kept me awake having those to listen to...

[coreystone]

64. OK! "jab105".... I will bottom line at $500.00...

That was one half of the commitment that I had made to MoveOn for matching funds. BUT! I do expect BOTH of us to come through! I know I will...and, I am sure you will too. Any suggestions to help the plethora of membership of DU to continue????

[benburch]

65. You two are out of my league!

$100 is my limit, but I VERY much appreciate what you folks are doing!

:yourock:

[jab105]

66. Already put it through...and got the email receipt from paypal...

to verify...

I was able to swing it straight through paypal funds so that paypal doesn't take a big chunk of it for credit card fees...

hopefully Guy will be able to update us on how its coming:)

PS-I think media is one of the most important things that you can donate to at this point...this weekend, I was in Ft. Lauderdale, and was able to get 9.40AM the Air America station from Stuart all the way to Ft. Lauderdale...it was a wonderful thing...

DO NOT DOUBT the value of a liberal voice on the radio...

[benburch]

67. Guy says he got it.

He was amazed.

[jab105]

68. Ben...what is your total from paypal so far...

you guys really need to get one of those Dean bats, or a thermometer or something so we can see how we are doing to meet the goal...

With me and Corey...we are over $1000...probably getting close to $1500 at this point...

Now its time for everyone else to step up!

[benburch]

70. I asked Guy for a total. I don't have access to his account, obviously!

:-)

[coreystone]

69. jab105..... It has been a pleasure.....let us hope that we may help Guy..

KERRY-EDWARDS IN 20004

[benburch]

71. $1025 is the total now.

Guy writes; "Since yesterday from DU and your site the total stands at around $1025
I'm really speechless."

[vetwife]

72. Lets keep it up..Gota keep that voice /The Liberal Voice !

We can't give an inch ! Not one inch to a winger ! there is a right wing talk show host waiting in the wings to take Guy's place.
We are doing great but we can keep on ! Lets go !

Put me down for your 5% match, Ben!

Thanks so much for doing this. I do not want Guy off the air.

78. We're over the hump now!

Omigod! This is wonderful!

Every dollar is a punch in the shrub's nose. Don't you all want to take a shot? Look above! 1000 people gave to DU in record time. Can we just give up a few smokes or a glass of wine for a Democratic voice to last until the election? I know we can! I know for sure we can do it!

[vetwife]

151. DU'er are wonderful..can I add something here?

Guy made it this month but we are at the end of the month. He may have enough for September. Now ...October is when the surprise comes. We can have a thread like this in the 1st and 15th every month until election because the pressure and the costs are going to continue to rise. We got a spokesman ...a Real Truth Sayer and not Truth Slayer. Let us keep Guy around as long as possible, but especially to the election. We need real reports coming out of Florida and I sure would like him to be one to report what the heck is going on in Florida.
We need DU and we need you and we really need Guy. without your support The Guy James Show would not be possible so Thank You !

83. Did Daddy cut off Ears?

This is pretty graphic but I will tell you the truth !
Guy is taking on the Swifties. When a child comes up to their Mother and says, Did Dad cut off ears to make necklaces in the war?"
And you have to explain to a child because the media is running with that stupid commercial playing on on all channels, it tears open a family and puts the family in trauma. The kids who didn't know that much about the horrors of wars are now thinking Kerry is a bad man. Well it isn't Kerry who is doing all of this. In 1971 he told the truth but the Swiftie Liars and media has exploited that testimony and brought it right to the veteran and his family. How dare they?
Please donate to Guy so he can take them to task and let them have it with both barrels. You will be helping veterans and their families. The vets can't speak of these things and me and others like me can't do it alone. Guy can yell at the fruitcakes !

[benburch]

100. Actually, they solved that...

Some bright chemists at a midwestern AG school managed to make a synthetic silk-like fiber from the collogen from sow's ears... This was years and years ago, so I no longer remember the details. No practical value, but they decided it would be fun to try. No word on if they made an fabric with it, much less a purse, though.

Sue: Yep, heard that too.

Joan: And he's talkin' freedom and terror -

Sue: And tax cuts -

Joan: And tax cuts and there's all these flies buzzin' around his head -

Sue: Circle flies?

Joan: Circle flies. So I pat his leg and say, "Don't mind those circle flies, they don't bite." And he says,

Sue: The President?

Joan: Of the United States says, "What's a Circle Fly? And I say, "Well, we call them Circle Flies ‘cause they usually circle a horse's BEhind. Well then he -

Sue: The President?

Joan: Of the United States says, "I hope you're not calling the President of the United States a horse's BEhind?"

112. dumb and *dumber

jeb and *george are on a camping trip.

One day, they decide to go fishing on a nearby lake. They rent a boat, and motor out to the middle of the lake.

That afternoon, they drift into an amazing spot and catch a boatload of fish in just a few minutes.

*george says, "Hey, jeb, mark this spot so we can come back tomorrow!" jeb agrees to, and they return to the dock.

The next day as they are driving back to the dockhouse, *george asks, "Did you remember to mark the spot?"

"Sure did." jeb says smugly. "I put a big X on the bottom of the boat."

There is a short pause.

"You idiot!" yells *george. "What happens if we don't get the same boat?"

116. The interview.

A reporter meets *george on his pig farm in Texas for a personal interview. After he finishes and is walking out the door, he notices Barney.

The reporter says to *george, "Hey, cool dog you got there. Mind if I speak with him?"
*george smirks and snorts, "Dogs don't talk."

The reporter turns to Barney and asks, "Hey dog, how's it going?"
Barney says, "Doin' all right."
*george is stunned into silence as the reporter continues questioning Barney. "Is this man your owner?"
Barney says,"Yep."
Reporter asks, "Well, how does he treat you?"
Barney replies, "Pretty good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food, and has only dropped me once that I can recall."

Then the reporter looks towards the barn and asks, "Mind if I talk to your horse?"
*george smirks and says, "Horses don't talk."

The reporter turns to the horse and asks, "Hey horse, how's it going?"
The horse replies "Cool."
The reporter then asks, "Is this your owner?" (pointing to *george)
The horse says, "Yes."
The reporter asks, "How's he treat you?"
Horse says, "Pretty good. Thanks for asking. Don't see him very often. But that's ok. The only time I'm expected to do anything is when I have to stand around as a photo-op background for the fool."

*george is dumbfounded by these exchanges between the animals and the reporter. *He's communed with cows before, but never thought an animal could actually talk.

The reporter finally asks, "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"
*george gets a panicky look on his face and says abruptly, "Sheep lie. Interview over."

117. One for the road, and a note

that losing Guy James' radio program is nothing to joke about. He is the only liberal voice in S.W. Florida. We really need him.

Please help keep him on the air if you can.

just found this one:

Hu's On First

(We take you now to the Oval Office.)

George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening?

Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.

George: Great. Lay it on me.

Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.

George: That's what I want to know.

Condi: That's what I'm telling you.

George: The guy in China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The new leader of China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The Chinaman!

Condi: Hu is leading China.

George: Now whaddya' asking me for?

Condi: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.

George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?

Condi: That's the man's name.

George: That's who's name?

Condi: Yes.

George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader
of China?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East.

Condi: Kofi.

George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.

(Condi picks up the phone.)

Condi: Rice, here.

George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we

[benburch]

126. Come on! Only three more $50 contributions, and we are at the goal.

Your chance to be a Liberal Media HERO.

[benburch]

127. I'm gonna kick this til this gets done!

:kick:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

128. Come on, people!

DU can do it!

:bounce:

[vetwife]

130. Who wants to kick in some money ?

[SeveneightyWhoa]

129. This is blackmail!

Absolute blackmail!
And I refuse to participititate!

[vetwife]

131. What are you talking about?

Look at your signature line...fighting the Rwing machine..What is blackmail? Its a Fundraiser for a worthy voice ! But thanks for the kick !

[nostamj]

132. "I refuse to participititate"

thanks for the "contribution" /sarcasm

The Guy James Show has been LISTENER SUPPORTED from day one.

if I said what I really thought about your post, I'd be banned.

isn't someone supposed to PROFIT from "blackmail"? you think Guy James has made a single penny from doing his show?

think again, and PLEASE...

go away, far far away to think about it! you're disgraceful.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

133. LMAO!

Jesus Christ, stop crying. Obviously my post was in jest. If I offended you, I'm sorry. Maybe I should learn not to joke around in such serious threads.

[nostamj]

134. NOTHING

in your post suggests 'humor'

in the future, a 'wink' smilie or "/sarcasm" might help.

if you still can, edit or delete.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

137. The word "participititate"..

..doesn't 'suggest humor'?

When was the last time any DU'er posted here with an intelligence level below that of George W.?

[nostamj]

138. give me a break

if I had a nickle for every dumb typo/misspelling on DU I wouldn't need a job... which I do.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

148. No, you give ME a break.

The fact that you can't discern an obvious (although apparently failed) attempt at humor is not my fault, but yours. Deal with it.

[vetwife]

135. I am kicking and Blackmail poster was kidding ! We are not Enron

[benburch]

136. We're NOT?

That explains why we have to beg for money... Hmmm...

[vetwife]

139. We are the squeezed middle or the begging poor! We have to work ! LOL

Dang.....Ben don't make me come there and eddicate you.."Is our people learning?"

[Judi Lynn]

140. Anyone who listens to Guy's show will become addicted.

He's really more than prepared to talk about this campaign. It's a delight hearing him hold forth "from behind enemy lines" in Naples, Florida,and it's really great hearing voices of names you have been seeing as posters at D.U.

We need this show and we need it to keep on going long after the election. Guy's far brighter, and far more balanced than Rush Limbaugh. You won't be embarrassed to quote him! You've got to treat yourself to a Guy James Saturday show.

[benburch]

141. In anticipation of receiving the full $2000...

I have dispatched $37.50, completing the $100 match...

I have now given $150 to The Guy James Show this month. Those of you who can afford it, but who have not given yet, please send at least a dollar! OK?

Now, don't disappoint me.

[ArkDem]

142. If we get the fee paid this week, what happens next week?

[eleny]

144. This fundraiser is for the next month's of broadcasts

It's up in one of Ben's early postings in this thread. Hope this helps! :hi:

[benburch]

146. The fee is for the full month.

And hopefully we generated some donations momentum here to carry Guy through the next month as well.

[ArkDem]

156. I understand, thanks.

[Rabelais]

145. Is this show

broadcast on Sirius radio?

[benburch]

147. Not yet!

But you should call them and REQUEST it!

Right now it is on one radio station in Ft. Myers FL, streamed live on the internet, and archived at http://www.WhiteRoseSociety.org for your 24/7 listening pleasure.

[scarletlib]

149. Kick

One last time. Just made a $75.00 contribution. Can't really afford it but for the country's sake can't really afford not too either.

Anyway if a few more people kick in a few bucks maybe Guy won't have any worries for the next 2 very critical months.

Please, everyone who can please help out.

[benburch]

150. You ROCK

:yourock:

[benburch]

152. Just think of this as yet another public radio pledge drive...

except that public radio is in no danger of going out of business if you don't help!

Its like this; public radio stations never make as much money as they would like, and your contribution helps them improve there service, but without you there are plenty of other people who will at least help them keep the signal on the air.

With the Guy James Show, however, your contribution means the difference between a world-class Democratic Talk Radio Show, and three more hours of Right Wing Noise on the weekend.

Think about it.

160. "benburch" ...My Express mail was signed for a bit after 12 PM...

Where does Guy stand now?

[benburch]

162. I'll ask him!

:-) Oh, and, YOU ROCK! :yourock:

[benburch]

163. I've not heard from Guy...

But my tally puts things at $2100.

[benburch]

170. Just to make sure its clear...

Guy DID get Coreystone's check!!!!

[Desertrose]

161. OK...did what I could.....

sure wish it could have been more...maybe next time.

So hows it coming??? Hope this gets the momentum moving for Guy :)


We should ask Guy to mention something about Mari333 on the next show or maybe give an update if Michael has made it home.

Guy :yourock:

peace
DR

[nostamj]

164. "We should ask Guy to mention something about Mari333"

I've already given Guy a 'heads up'

hopefully, by Saturday, we'll have a more organized plan to make a DU donation.

[Desertrose]

165. How'd I know you were gonna say that?

COOL :)

You're a good guy, nostamj
:hug:

DR

[nostamj]

171. btw, she will be on tomorrow's show

UNLESS Michael gets home before airtime.

[benburch]

166. Success!!!!!

I am happy to announce that we did it!!!!!

The Guy James Show survives for yet another month.

BUT - This is only a stay of execution. Next month at this time the same bill has to be paid again. SO - if you did not have the opportunity to give during this pledge drive, your contribution will be welcome any time during the next month.

On behalf of Guy James and all of his supporters, Thank You!

[Norquist Nemesis]

167. Ben...any chance of

working up or moving toward a quarterly type of fundraiser campaign (like here on DU)? Maybe with the graphic and all?

I'm just thinking from a standpoint of a longer range view. Sometimes people feel like they're getting tapped for everything under the sun and then some.

Just a suggestion. :)

[benburch]

168. Good idea.

I'll take it up with Guy.

[mandyky]

169. Has anyone contacted ACT, MoveOn, etc?

It seems to me that we have lots to do even after we get Kerry elected, and god forbid, esp. if that doesn't happen...

I suggest we contact DFA (Democracy for America) - maybe they could put up a bat for us quarterly. How about contacting AAR shows and asking them to help us? How about approaching blogs like Daily Kos, etc who are supporting Senate and House candidates, to also help Guy?
Also, Guy needs to contact forums like DU, SmirkingChimp and others who do fundraising to swap fundraising messages. I am still available to help with marketing and fundraising ideas.

Especially if Guy plans on going after November we need to come up with a plan to raise money. Right now things might be tight due to election donations.... I know I am strapped trying to stretch $1200 a month for a family of 3 does not allow for many extras. But I can donate spare time if that is valueable...

[coreystone]

172. I tried to contact MoveOn, but.....

I am not really sure if the (Section 527) aspects would allow them to support a site or organization which displays a "KERRY-EDWARDS" bumper sticker facisimile on their website. Not a negative, just one of the rules....I think?

In any event nobody from MoveOn returned any response for the offer of matching funds two weeks ago.

:think:

[happynewyear]

173. glad to hear the good news!

I do not have a lot of money being disabled (checks are very small) but I sent what was left in my PayPal account.

I felt guilty it wasn't more but then thought, "If everyone that listens to Guy James sent him what I did, he'd be on the air for at least another 6 months to a year!".

So, donate if you can. I think any amount helps I hope!

:dem: :kick:

[LWolf]

174. Okay; one more month, and then.....

If all of the supporters who kicked in here became monthly subscribers, just a small amount, it would help for future months.

And letters to AA etc. requesting the GJS couldn't hurt!
