FPC Donors for Denver update

We are doing pretty well so far, but we still need your help. Here's the latest update from the Florida Progressive Coalition's fearless leader, Kenneth Quinnell:

In our fundraising efforts to attend the Democratic Convention in August, we’ve decided to focus on a small donor campaign. We figured out that it’ll take us 240 people contributing $25 each for us to reach what we need to go to Denver and provide you with the best convention coverage in America. So far, we have the equivalent of 60 ($1500), leaving us 180 to go. Anyone reading this should be able to donate $25 to help us get there.

(BTW, if you want a preview of our Denver coverage, check out our Netroots Nation 2008 Coverage).

Go to PayPal and donate through our Florida Progressive Coalition account (quinnelk@gmail.com), or you can write a check to Florida Progressive Coalition and send it to me:

You can also inquire about advertising by sending me an e-mail. FPC is a media entity set up as an LLC, so we don’t fall under campaign finance laws and contributions are not tax-deductible. But they do go to a good cause.

If we don’t get the 180 donations we still need, someone will have to stay home and miss the convention. That shouldn’t happen, as there’s no need for your $25 to prevent someone from going, so give as soon and as often as you can.

We’ll also publicly thank all of the donors, so let us know if you wish to remain anonymous or pseudonymous. Our latest contributions came from:

John Cosgrove
Vicki
Sheree Shatsky
Impact Politics
Allison Macdonald
Nancy Barlow
James O’Gara
Adam Trebrugge
Sandra Fernandez
Toni Craig
Nirmal Mankani

Thank you to all those listed and to all who have already given. And to those who haven't yet given, I hope you'll consider helping us, because you're going to benefit from the very best coverage of the Convention that you'll find anywhere, Internet or broadcast, print or blog. That's my vow -- our vow -- to you. And Kenny's right -- surely you can spare $25 to help us toward our goal ...

Kenny has more to say here (from which I cribbed the quote above), and here's another take on the same subject.

Thanks again. Please give like you vote: early and often.
