For $500 You Can Punch Me.
I just thought of this great fund raising idea! I need to raise at least $20,000, and ideally more than $30K, as soon as possible and not later than August 28th, IF I'm going to make the next payroll for Death Penalty Action AND give us the funds we need to do the basics for the campaigns to stop the executions of Anthony Sanchez on Sept 21 and Jedidiah Murphy on Oct 10 - the next two men in line to be killed in the US. I know we're not alone among non-profits whose income streams have slowed, but today it feels like there might be a real market for this!
Seriously, rightly or wrongly, there are some people who are very angry at me right now, so why not? It's been a very long time since anyone has actually tried to land one on me, so I figure I can take 30 or 40 hits for the cause.
And for $1,000 each, I can probably get my friend Jeff Hood to take a few hits too. For $18, I bet Mike Zoosman would let you pull a hair out of his beard! Hahaha!
I'd like to think I'm nonviolent, so I won't hit you back. But I am serious. For an actual punch, it's gotta be cash, and the travel is on you.
Look, I'll do whatever I need to do to make sure we hit our fund raising goals this month. It's cruch time. We need cash flow. Just go to the Death Penalty Action web page, or use one of the links in the comments section.
Come on! You know you want to!
