I propose a 4 o' clock $400 Club

[FireofLiberty]

I propose that a bunch of us get together and agree to all donate $400 at 4:00PM (your time, whenever the clock strikes 4).

I'm in -- I can donate another $300 on top of the $110 I already donated this morning -- anyone with me?

[DjLoTi]

I like this... there should be a nice buffet late-lunch to boot

[mport1]

Great idea!

[constituent]

that's a really good idea. or a 5 for 5 kinda thing, everyone gives five hundred bucks to celebrate the full-day's pay they will receive when rp's the pres.

or a stairway to seven, led zepplin tribute hour where some people give 600 at 6 and 650 at half past. people then start giving 700 at seven o'clock.

or... a ten to win... people pull together their resources and donate $1,000 in groups of ten at ten o'clock... you know, go crazy.

[StrikerV]

Donate 400$ at 4 P.M.

Ingredients:

1. Buy Ramen Noodles
2. Buy Loaf of Bread & Ham
3. Buy Spam+Potted Meat products
4. Buy Crackers and Peanut Butter

Live on that for 2-3 weeks and think of that great donation that you gave to Ron Paul and the good sacrifice of Major Food Chains,etc your giving up ;)

[FireofLiberty]

Amen. Eating Top Ramon for two weeks is a small price to pay for liberty, and just think: Eating Ramon and PB and Crackers for a week by your own choice is certainly a hell of a lot better than the government deciding the foods you eat.

Reminds me of a quote:

"If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." – Thomas Jefferson

Can't handle $300, but I'll double our $100 donation at 4PM CST... We weren't planning on this, but things are going so well and there's such a chance for an extra special day...

[FireofLiberty]

Bump. Come on people! Join the club! Just think of how much more you'll save in the long run when the IRS is gone under a Paul Presidency by just giving a little now!

[FireofLiberty]

Thank you!

I understand not being able to give the full $300, but thank you so much for giving what you can.

Please, everyone: give what you can. If you can give the full $400, than do it! If you can't than just give whatever you can!

:D

[Bruehound]

I really wish i was in a position to join in.

I promise another donation at 4:20.

[FireofLiberty]

Only 10 mins left for the East Coast! Come on EST folks! Can we get at least two more Club members in 10 mins!?

[mavtek]

I did $105 the extra $5 was to cover the transaction fees, I'll go $200 at 4!

[mport1]

This is the best day ever.

Every little bit helps!

4:20? LOL! The first thing I thought of was "all stoners, anti-war on drugs, pro-hemp and pro-medical marijuana people should donate $20 at 4:20!"

[Eli]

I'm in, and two of my friends at home are also in.

[FireofLiberty]

This is the best day ever.

Haha! I know! Giving away money and emptying your bank account never felt so good! But that's because it's an investment! An investment in liberty! An investment in the future and this small investment made by us now, along with the small sacrifices it takes to make it, will be returned to us 100+ fold when Ron Paul is President!

[FireofLiberty]

I'm in, and two of my friends at home are also in.

Awesome! :D

[FireofLiberty]

It's 4:00 EST! Alright EST people! Let's do this!

My donation has been sent!

[FireofLiberty]

Bump.

[tsetsefly]

[tsetsefly]

[FireofLiberty]

Come on people!

Where are the CST folks?

Have any of the other folks who joined the Club and are in EST donated yet?

[wsc321]

I'll bump with confirmation at 4CST....

[tsetsefly]

bump , anyone in the cst timezone, contribute what you can...

[FireofLiberty]

Tell you what: If another person pledges to donate $400 (either $400 or $300 + the $100 you've already donated) I'll donate $40 more.

Well, I was kinda hoping to entice someone who hasn't already donated as much with it ;)

But I'll tell you what: I'll increase it to $50 and donate $20.00 of it now for your donations and I'll donate the other $30.00 of it if I can get another pledge for $400 :)

[wsc321]

4PM CST bump - "Thank you for your generous donation of $100.00!" Confirmation #98555-2CG72988C6527270Y.

That's twice today for me. C'mon CST!

[FireofLiberty]

CST! CST! CST!

We Believe In You!

[mavtek]

Donated $207 and did $105 earlier today, wife is going to kill me!

[FireofLiberty]

w00t! Good work everyone!

My offer of a $30.00 additional donation if someone else agrees to donate $400 (either $400 now or $300 + $100 you have earlier) is still on the table.

BTW, anyone with graphic design skills? It would be really cool if we could get a small "4 o' Clock $400 Club" banner designed that those of us doing this ("Club members") could display in our signatures. :) Something eyepopping, attractive and REVOLUTIONARY. ;) Perhaps the design could even be in the form of a membership card.

[FireofLiberty]

Alright, tell you what! I'll raise my offer back up to $40.00 for anyone who donates an additional $200.00!

AND I'll donate an additional $100 in exchange for anyone designing the banner I pitched in the last post.

Urgh... I'm gonna be broke. Hahaha!

[tsetsefly]

come on mst people its close to 4pm there....

[tsetsefly]

bump

[FireofLiberty]

Come on, I know there's got to be someone here with the skills to design the above banner I mentioned. I'm willing to make an additional $100 donation for it! Come on!

[FireofLiberty]

Bump.

[tsetsefly]

lets keep this alive for the west coaster's im sure we will find some of them willing to donate 400 at 4 pm pst.

[FireofLiberty]

Where my West Coasters at?

[tsetsefly]

west coaster's 15 minutes, come at least 1 person match these donations...

[Chaos Unlimited]

i'll donate another $100.

[FireofLiberty]

Props to maiki for the awesome banner! I just sent the $100 donation for it, as promised.

Now, who wants to join the club and add the banner to their sig? There's still time! Even if it's past 4:00PM where you are you can still join the Club ;) It's the amount, not the time, that matters.

And my offer to donate an additional $40 for anyone who donates an additional $200 is still on the table.

[FireofLiberty]

i'll donate another $100.

Awesome! Thanks!

Since Chaos Unlimited is donating another $100 I'll agree to donate the additional $40 if anyone else is willing to donate another $100 themselves.

[Chaos Unlimited]

done - my name just popped up.

[FireofLiberty]

Bump.

Let's just rename the Club the "$400 Club." ;) The time isn't what's important, afterall. Anyone else wanna donate a total of $400 and join the Club? :D
