I know, the economy's hurting everyone, and nobody trusts Wall Street anymore, but what if I told you I had a GUARANTEED, SURE-FIRE, 100% SAFE, EASY way to quadruple every dollar in your wallet. Suspicious? Too good to be true? Well, join me across the fold as I explain all the details and fine print.....
Actually, there is no fine print, and you can get in on this deal in two easy steps.
- First off, navigate over to our friends at Democratic Underground.
- Then, click the link in the message you see and make a donation to Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest), the national charity that provides food to America's hungry (a group growing ever larger these days). Yes, I know your money's probably tight, but if you're paying $40 a month for this internet connection, you can afford $10 to help someone else, can't you? (remember by the way, you'll still be paying taxes next year and your donation is tax-deductible).
Now, here's where the economic magic occurs. When you donate a dollar I'll match it. Yes, you heard me correctly. I'm offering up to $7,500 out of my own pocket to match every donation made through the end of the year. My wife and I have done fairly well the past few years, and we agreed that we'd match every political dollar we spent this year with a charitable one and, well, the numbers added up. I've got a chunk of of charitable contributions to work through, and if I can use that to encourage others as well, so much the better.
But wait! Your contribution and my contribution will then be matched by the Board of Trustees of Feeding America, and high-rollers they are. They're putting up $140,000 in available matching funds for every donation that comes in for the rest of the year.
So do the math: your one dollar generates a total of four dollars in charity. If you can scrape together $25 out of your pocket, that means $100 will be going to provide food for those who need it.
With everything going on during the Holidays, its easy to forget things, so please, if you can, make a contribution today. Thanks for your help.
