Good work digging up that info.
Do you think it unusual that the national sponsor of the 9/12 March on Washington, who most likely is providing the most funds as a national sponsor, would be soliciting funds?
I'm sure all other 30 sponsors solicit funds, as well.
I'm sure that Freedom Works would also benefit from sponsorship of the March on Washington 9/12 from increased membership.
The donations being solicited are going toward funding things directly related to the event according to the donations page:
Invest in 9.12
We are on our way to making history as the largest march on Washington in favor of lower taxes, less government, and more freedom. But we need your help!
There are fundamental things we need to have like more portable bathrooms to accommodate a crowd like we are expecting and they cost $185 per piece. And every foot of barricade that we still need for the march and rally costs $45. We also want to have a giant video screen at the event that will magnify the images of speakers for the entire crowd and further reinforce our rally as a top-tier event, raising its profile in the media. Unfortunately, obtaining a screen like this is very costly. Due to restrictions at the Capitol grounds, it has to be brought in by hand in 10 sections, each one costing $1,000.
Please help us cover some of these costs so that we can have a successful event and prevent the Left from overshadowing and dismissing us!
