Moneybomb Match: Your $1 Equals $3
Here is the deal: For every dollar that you give in our moneybomb, we have two donors who have promised to match it.
$1 + $1 + $1 = $3.
Maybe you’d like to be able to give this campaign $75, but frankly, that’s a lot of money. Fine; you just give us $25, and the other two will give us another $50. Everyone’s happy.
But if you give $0, then they give $0. Everyone’s sad.
This offer is good through 11:59 pm on Monday, July 28, 2014. Void where prohibited. Blah-blah-blah.
You want to know how we did this? It was brilliant, if we do say so ourselves. (And if we don’t, then who will?) We went to two very generous progressive donors who had not yet given to our campaign this year. We told them that we have 100,000 supporters, and we’re confident that if they each pledged to give up to $X, then our supporters would match them dollar-for-dollar. And they said, “Fantastic! A win-win situation!”
And now we’re telling you the same thing. But it’s only win-win if you give-give. And it’s lose-lose if you don’t-don’t. Hey, don’t leave us twisting slowly, slowly in the wind. [John Ehrlichman (1973).]
Would you like to know who these two anonymous benefactors are? Well, we’re not going to tell you, because if we did, then they wouldn’t be anonymous. (At least until our FEC report comes out.) It’s like that old TV show from the 1950’s called “The Millionaire.” You just see an arm reaching for the cashier’s check, and handing it to the executive secretary for delivery. “You sent for me, sir?” “Yes, Michael, here is the check.”
So please give us your check. Because life provides very few opportunities to triple your money, unless you’re at the racetrack. Citibank is now paying 0.01% interest on savings accounts. (For real.) At that rate, it would take you 1100 years to triple your money. We need your help in the year 2014, not in the year 3114, when Hillary Clinton the XXXIII will be running against George Bush the XXXV for President. Now, not then.
Oh, and just a reminder: we will be choosing one moneybomb contributor (donating $20.14 or more) to join Rep. Alan Grayson in Orlando on Election Day, or some other date that’s good for you. Come on, Mickey Mouse is dying to see you!
Anyway, the time has come. Please hit that CONTRIBUTE button below, with the warm feeling that whatever you give will be multiplied thrice. Not exactly like the fishes and the loaves, but still a very good deal.
Hoping for Continued Employment,
Team Grayson
