Ten Buck Fridays

In the end, the votes cast for the election are what matter. However, time, effort, and money have an impact. The money is important, particularly early. So the Ten Buck Fridays is a wonderful way to express political will in a fashion that shall no doubt bring tears of frustration to the eyes of an elitist near you.

From the FaceBook page:

Description:
Ten Buck Fridays is how Joe the Plumber and Mary the Secretary can fundamentally change the course of our nation, one week at a time from now until Election Day, November 2, 2010.

Most of us get paid on Fridays… can you commit to supporting a conservative candidate or cause by donating $10 a week (or twice a month, or even once a month) between now and November? You may think it’s not enough to make a difference. But if lots of people are doing it and are focusing on conservative candidates you can respect, or even conservative groups that are bringing about positive change, why not jump on the Ten Buck Friday bandwagon! Share who you think is worthy of support! If you’re a candidate, tell us why you are deserving of support.

This is the year that conservatives need to step up to the table and vote with their wallets. We can’t win without cash – we all need to have a stake in this election.

An I-tunes CD… 2 large Frappacinos… 2 value meals… these are things you might consider giving up this week in order to support a worthy candidate. Just do it!

Also, follow on Twitter.

To paraphrase Dodgeball, this is a great way to separate the children from the adults. . .the wheat from the chaff. . .the vaguely RINO from the slightly Progressive.

    I think I’ll keep my money rather than giving it to the Stupid Party.

    Thanks so much for spreading the word about Ten Buck Fridays — only 19 more weeks worth of Fridays left to make a big difference in 2010!

    Thanks for the linkage guys! As appreciated as it is, the real credit goes to http://conconmom.blogspot.com/2010/05/ten-buck-fridays.html
    and http://www.rightklik.net/
    and you guys for the RINO killer meme. Like you say, the bottom line is to get individual conservative money directly to the candidate, not the machine. Proud to stand with Patriots like you. – ‘bot

    I will keep a list of everyone participating, or at least try to, and will link them at my blog. If today was Friday, and we were donating, a worthy candidate would receive at least $200.00. Not bad for a week-old effort.

    TBF, great idea but PayPal isn’t cooperating. I have tried numerous times over the last two days to contribute to Ms. Little’s campaign using the PayPal link on her site. I keep getting many different rejection messages from PayPal like for example: Unable to process payment. Please contact the merchant as the shipping address provided by the merchant is invalid, and the merchant has requested that your order must be shipped to that address.
    I have e-mailed the campaign and they’re working on it. I will try to donate again tomorrow. My real worry though is about PayPal. This is suspect in light of PayPals recent shenanigans directed at Atlas Shrugged.

    I have contacted PayPal and they told me that they cannot accept credit card payments for donations to Anna C. Little for Congress. Donations have to be either a green dot payment or drawn on a bank account. PayPal is now verifying my bank account so in 2-3 days I should be able make my TBF donation. First time I’ve ever run in to a situation like this. TBF Friday’s are a good idea. Thanks.
