Okay, I'm going to be honest here; I'm getting burnt out...

I've been on the road for 6+ months promoting the causes of Liberty. A lot of that time has been amazing. It has been hard, but has all been worth it.

With that said, I am now in Philly. I've been Couch Surfing for months, trekking across cities every few days to stay at a new place.

I've been away from home (granted my choice) for half a year.

I'm exhausted.

You can see how much work I put into Boston:

There are groups I meet that give me a boost, there are groups that require a lot of energy from me (and sometimes feel like I'm getting no where).

Also, I just looked at my bank account and it's getting close to zero. I need to keep enough to pay my phone bill this month and my web hosting fees. There is enough in my account for that, $15 in my pocket and a about an ounce of silver in my bag I can sell. I also have $25 transferring to my account that a friend back home "chipped-in."

I have 5 weeks left until my flight back to California. Once I'm back I have Gold and Silver stashed, and a tax return to take care of. I should be fine once I get home, but right now I'm really burnt out and nearing the last of my funds.

I want to keep going strong through Philly, and the 10 days I'll be in D.C. There is nothing I can do about my exhaustion but sleep and attend some meditation groups (did so Monday night).

What I can do to make the next 5 weeks bearable is to raise more money. I could dumpster dive for food, do some medical studies for cash, and lobby the movement for some financial love (or at least, support for my writing).

That's what I am asking you all.

I know this has been rough, Super Tuesday was not so Super, we've all put a lot into this; but I am asking for your help; just $5 to my chip-in, perhaps grab an article from my website and spread it to your friends, buy some silver/gold from my sponsor, something... (actually, what I really need is the direct cash right now).

My Website: http://freeindependentsun.com/

My sponsor: http://www.membersmint.com/#freeindsun ( http://www.membersmint.com/#freeindsun)

You can even buy a copy of my book (though I won't get the money for that until I get back): http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/irl-rpg-players-guide/14914796?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/1

Really, I need some fiscal loving right now. I need to sleep (just trekked the city to get to my new couch host). I have a meeting tonight with some progressives that were active in outing Santorum, they may easily be talked into voting for Paul to keep Santorum from winning PA. I'm going to stand in front of the Liberty Bell on Saturday and hand out super brochures and register voters. I have about 10 other meetings lined up for the month. I'll be in D.C. for the day of their Primary. I still have work left to do. Then I'll be back in California where we can still win.

Any help is appreciated. Many of you have already given me money in the past and I appreciate that. We can still Win, if we keep doing what we do best; support the community.

What exactly are you doing? Sorry for being unfamiliar.

What exactly are you doing? Sorry for being unfamiliar.

Not a problem, I'll elaborate:

I started getting involved in California early last year. I would attend meetings and write articles on my site that I felt helped communicate the topics/events etc. that needed to be spread.

Then in September I went to Colorado and met with a few different groups, sharing what I was working on and trying to do (and also promoting Ron Paul):

I then went to Iowa for a month where I help organize grassroots meet-ups in Des Moines and Ames:

After that I headed down to South Carolina. There I worked on a farm (I want to teach the world to grow their own food as much as possible), and worked with another local supporter. We went door-to-door, attended GOP meetings. I helped organize some meet-ups in the Upstate and brought together some college students to form a group. I also spent some time at Occupy talking about general "liberty" concepts and being a positive voice of reason and supporter of Ron Paul:

I then headed down to Florida to do some more farming and worked with local activists there as well. I also put together an article on fundemental campaigning, which is a subject I'm hoping to have mastered by the time I get back to California:

I then spent the last month in Boston registering voters and putting everything else I've done together. I met with all the third-party groups, the GOP, Ron Paul activists, Occupy, etc. I canvased and handed out information. Dropped "no taxes on tips" cards at bars. Basically, I was a walking Ron Paul advertisement.

Now I'm in Philly for the rest of the month, I have a bus ticket to D.C. on the 1st of April and a ticket for a flight back to Cali on April 10th. When I get back to Cali I'm going to settled down and put everything I learned to work, on the RP campaign, local and state campaigns and continue to write about and spread what I've learned through my website.
