GOP: HELP - Would you donate a few dollars to my campaign?

Matt Collins · 04-02-2009, 10:00 PM

Well as many of you know I am running for the chairman of the Nashville (Davidson County) Republican Party. The vote comes up this Saturday and it looks like I'm going to win.

(just updated)

ELECTION RESULTS POSTED HERE -
http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=15238

Two billing cycles ago I went over on my cell phone bill because I spend a great deal away from my home/office. Almost all of the calls in coordinating the local members, meeting with local officials and GOP members, making calls for votes, all of the planning, etc was done on my cell phone. Because I'm always on the go I was not able to do the majority of this work from home. In fact the first bill was $210. Normally it's $89.

When I realized that I immediately changed my plan to "unlimited". However the creeps at Sprint have a clause in their service that says that any plan changes won't take place until after the current billing cycle. So last billing cycle was $344.

If I take the overage on the first billing cycle and the overage on the second billing cycle I have gone $376 total over my normal phone budget and because I've spent so much time on this race and not as much time working, it is breaking me. My income from other streams are down, my pay has been cut at my usual gig, etc. I'm dedicated to the cause of liberty which is why I am pursuing the chairman of the Nashville Republican Party but I am by no means wealthy and my income is indeed suffering due to my dedication to bringing limited-government conservatism back to the country. If you support what I am doing and have some spare cash I humbly ask that you consider donating to my campaign specifically to help me survive my cell phone expenses which are a direct result of fighting for liberty.

What would be the advantage of that vs just PayPal'ing the money?

I still haven't confirmed a bank account and can't send money without a pre-made "purchase". ChipIn allows us to specify how much we want to give, essentially allowing us to donate how much we want without confirming a bank account or signing up for a PayPal credit card.

I'm working on a Chip-In right now.

Hmmm... Apparently I lied. Paypal still isn't letting me donate, but I've donated before via Paypal. I guess I'll have to confirm my bank account.

Edit: Okay, now I see. I still have my credit card linked to a different account. Okay, fixed and donated
