How can you help the Spirit of America?
- Click on that banner up above and donate some pocket change. That $5 latte you might enjoy for an hour or so. Send it to Spirit of America and it'll be helping something permanent.
- Head over to the Victory Coalition's HQ and get your blog on the side of goodness and all that is right.
- Spread the word about the Spirit of America challenge. Let your readers, friends, co-workers, gang members, etceteras know how easy it is to help out.
- Bid for a custom crafted short story in the comments of this post (details immediately below)
Fundraising Auction
I am offering up for auction a custom short story. The winner of the auction will be able to specify whatever characters he/she wishes, and a general tone for the story (comedy, drama, tragedy, etc). Specifics such as location, etc may also be listed but don't get too detailed - I need a little room to work my magic.
See the short stories list in my sidebar for examples of the fabulousness that is me.
This auction will run the same way the other fundraising auctions are running. Bid in the comments of this very post. (Keep the increment at an even dollar amount please, no silly stuff like a two penny raise.) Monday morning I'll stop the bidding and name the winner. That person will then make a donation in the bidded amount to the Spirit of America through the Victory Coalition link above and send me their confirmation from SOA.
Delivery of the story will be via post in this weblog and will take a couple of days to write (hey, this ain't gonna be no simple post ya know). It'll be complete with massive linky love and fantastic amounts of gratuitous thanks. Maybe even a shot of my nipple if that'll help drive up the price.
Any questions, ask away.
Auction starts now! Go!
UPDATE: The auction is over. My thanks to the bidders!
Ok, I'll start you off at$5....(this is how confident I am that the Fusileers are going to triumph--I can risk donating via the enemy!)
Woo hoo! We're rollin' now. Keep 'em coming, y'all!
looks like a krispy kreme donut label...
Jeez, no serious bidders yet while they're swarming over Smash's dirty laundry?
This cannot stand.
I bid $100 for 1 story with a optional offer of $200 for two stories. If I'm the winning bidder it's your pick Jim: $100 or $200.
I won't get back to the office to read email until 1400 CDT on monday.
Wow! Talk about saved at the bell.
Kevin has won the auction in a big way. Being the greedy bastard that I am (it's okay this time since it's for a good cause) I'll be taking him up on the 2 for $200.
Thank you, Kevin!
Looks like the early bird got the worm...dang, this is what happens to me when I try and get a decent five hours sleep--out bid 40 times over....
Don't worry, Susie. As a valid bidder you can have one at the winning price, too! I'll even make the 2 for $200 offer. I am a greedy bastard, after all. ;-)
