Hey everyone, I know I have already written about this, however today is it in terms of being able to participate or not in the Obama fellowship program. If I don't make it up north by tomorrow I am really no longer eligible to participate, so I am throwing somewhat of a "Hail Mary" here.
I am covered in terms of housing, so that is not a problem - But since the five week fellowship is "unpaid" we are responsible for food, gas, and all the other misc. expenses we may encounter. Unfortunately thats a problem for me - seeing as though my website doesn't bring in close to the amount of money, and I will not be able to work a side job (the fellowship will take up my time) the money situation is, for lack of a better term, crippling this opportunity to do something I have been ready and waiting to come my way for years now.
Now, this is so important to me, that I have decided to put my web site up for sale (site auction) which absolutely kills me but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. Here is the link to my sites auction (I am not trying to sell it to any of you, just confirming it's for sale).
Here is the link to my "Fundraising for an Obama Fellow" page. I am basically asking for some help putting together a small amount of money so that I can take part in this fellowship, which has the possibility of resulting in a paid position within the campaign.
I know I am still new around these parts, and I know how annoying this may come across - and for that I sincerely apologize. I do not ask for money regularly, in fact I am pretty sure this is the first time I have ever done anything like this, and it is somewhat embarrassing. But again, you gotta do what you gotta do - no matter how much I like it or not.
If you would like to contact me to confirm anything or talk about the situation over the phone, or request proof that everything I stated in this email is the complete truth you contact me via email or my site's "contact" page, and I will respond ASAP, and if requested my phone #.
As I mentioned earlier, this is for the most pary my last day to get things in order, if I don't make it up north by tomorrow the window I had to take part in this is closed.
It's not the biggest deal in the world, and I am not treating it as if it is. That said, I really hope to make things work - and would like to also thank you guys for at least taking the time to look this over.
