Last night, we did a little fundraising to help get Vetwife a new computer. We managed to get our $500! Enough people have suggested that the laptop isn't enough and that she needs software to go along with it. And maybe a better quality computer in the first place. Look for a second fundraising diary later today!
In the meantime, here is what Vetwife wants all of you to know:
Tell everyone this will put me on my feet with the vets and when I get to Ga will transfer some of my org down here and then I plan on meeting with Grayson and Debbie of the DNC when available. When I do that with Debbie Wasserman I have to go as me and not as part of the Org because I have to turn into this non partisian when dealing with vet issues but I still deal only with Dem Congresspeople. (lol). No sense in dealing with party of no.
I love ya. for this..I can get this whole orgganization going again and help the vets again with someothing more than a shoestring
That's our Vetwife... ready to go back to work.
So, for those of you who missed last night's fun, we made donations through Vetwife's nonprofit, United Veterans of America.
She wants to find a way to take an internet connection with her when she visits veteran's in their homes. A lot of them don't have access to either a computer or the internet. Any suggestions for an inexpensive way to do this?
I could not get a paypal donate button to link to a DK diary... any suggestions for future fundraising? How do I overcome that problem?

Here's to hoping for a good week of military news - I would love to see no IGNT diaries, silence from McMullen and Gates about cuts to benefits, and that the repeal of DADT will happen very, very soon.
