My Paypal account has $182.00 in it
I have received $45 through my chipin: http://ronpaulcarepackages.chipin.com/moneys-to-attend-ron-paul-convention-in-minneapolis
of which $35 went to the purchase of two tickets.
Another $50 was sent to me today (not through the chipin)
I had one auction of some video games that sold today. That leaves me with this balance.
It gives me hope. I am still planning on selling a bunch of stuff in a couple of weeks at a yard sale but at best can hope for a couple of hundred dollars. I need quite a bit more if I am to make it to Minnesota but I now have hope (again). If anyone can chipin it would be much appreciated.

Do you have a blood bank where you can sell blood? Hold a garage sale? Don't forget about that Libertarian ballot access signature money. You may make it yet.

Sell plasma? That's usually worth about 50 bucks.

Graphic design is DEFINITELY not one of my strong points. ;-)
Trust me on this one. :-)
By the way - my total is now over $200
If anyone can chip in - please do. I'll be selling personal items but I'll still need help.

Yard sale coming up in a couple of weeks. Some more stuff on Ebay, etc...
but it's not going to be enough by itself. No Red Cross places anywhere near me. /shrug

Yeah, but very few guys want Mellissa Etheridge to tell them that they're the father.

No, McCain won Ct. and got all the delegates. I am part of the Ct. Leadership group though.

I wouldn't ask, if I didn't need an assist. I am doing all I can to cover the expenses I need to. If you can contribute anything at all, it would be greatly appreciated, or - check out some of my auctions. Here's one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140253935496&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=004
There are more coming, including an xbox with a couple or three games and possibly some other vintage systems. I am still trying to determine what has enough value to make it worth putting it online.
Thanks in advance for any contributions and thanks to those who have already contributed $95 to my cause.

I may know a guy in St Paul who has a house you could stay at. He is a strong supporter of Dr. Paul..let me know if you are interested and I will put you in touch with him..

I'm a little leary of that sort of setup with my 8 year old daughter coming along. i'm sure you can appreciate that but it sounds like something worth looking into.
In the meantime, for our students here, I have this auction I just posted for a TI-83 PLUS silver edition graphing calculator:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140255859137&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=004
Also, as always, I am looking for more contributions to my chipin (see my sig).
Thanks to the person who already sent me $15 today. :)

No, but you can download the manual right off the internet so no biggie, you know?
I bought this one for calculus a couple of years ago but have absolutely no use for it now.
Here is the manual:
