Jim, what are options for those of us who don't want to use PayPal?
ReplyDeleteIf I can break away from my laptop long enough, I'm going to rent a mail box. Sorry for the delay. Too much news!
ReplyDeleteBlatant mercenary.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure you have a futue as an ad guy...no Mad Men future for you!
I told Sparky that I'm trying a new tactic: Instead of seeking subscriptions randomly, I'm now fishing for them after I've done what I think is better-than-average work. (Good luck with that, Sparky said.)
ReplyDeleteyep its like asking for diamonds after a great night of sex.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
Jim,
ReplyDeletePost the results of cumulative fund raising daily. Do please give another option than Paypal.
Consider seeking grants from the Knight Foundation and the Pew Trust.
Then have a little fun: Ask for a grant from the Freedom Forum.
And finally ask Allen H. Neuharth, John J. Curley, Douglas C. McCorkindale and John C. Quinn to join your "First Amendment Club" and kick in $500 a piece.
Mike Gartner always liked to raise a little hell; he ought to be good for a few hundred bucks, too.
73s,
John M. Simpson
P.S.: Consider this a challenge grant. If any one of the aforementioned contributes more than $100, I'm in for $100.
A challenge grant: I like it!
ReplyDeleteUK folks read this too. You could always start a little friendly competition between UK and US blog readers!
ReplyDeleteJohn Simpson: You are awesome! Great ideas. LOL.
ReplyDeleteGo Jim!!
When you get a PO box I will send you some cash.
