Friends,

I just did the math last night on our fund raiser. At this point we are headed towards raising less than $16,000 by 9/11

The unfortunate facts of life for ALIPAC is that only raising this much would only fund our operations into October thus forcing us to shut down.

I am determined to use every dollar to keep things going as long as possible, but the 30k is the minimum we must raise to even make it through 2008 and at that minimum level we still need to raise another 15,000 some other way without pestering our website users and email lists.

At these minimal levels, we will be able to complete our missions for the year and endorse and promote candidates but we will not be able to contribute unless the levels go higher.

So, if you are an ALIPAC web board user and you value this service, NOW IS THE TIME TO CHIP IN.

Unless anyone has some suggestions on how we can run an effective national organization on less than 100k per year, we need your support right away.

We are not going down without a fight and if the funds level is still low come Monday I will pull some of our top people from their current duties in the fight and put them on the phones with me calling donors.

Let's all pull together and pull the nose up on ALIPAC before a crash becomes unavoidable.

William
