Okay, now we’re in the homestretch. With less than two weeks to go until we leave for Denver, we need you to really commit to helping us get to Denver. Even if you can only toss us a few bucks, please do it as soon as you can. We want to get things taken care of before prices rise on travel costs and the like. The sooner you donate to us, the less money we have to raise. Pay day is tomorrow or the next day for many people. Please set aside a little bit to help us get to Denver, be it $10, $25, $50 or more.
And we’ve just set up a deal where we’re going to be able to bring you videoblogging from Denver as well. Look for multiple video updates from us each day in addition to our blog and radio coverage.
In our fundraising efforts to attend the Democratic Convention in August, we’ve decided to focus on a small donor campaign. We originally figured out that it’ll take us 240 people contributing $25 each for us to reach what we need to go to Denver and provide you with the best convention coverage in America. We’ve managed to cut some costs, though, so we’ve reduced that number a bit. So far, we have the equivalent of 118 ($2940). That means we need only about $800 more to be able to cover our costs. That’s just 32 more $25 donors. We need you to be one of them.
(BTW, if you want a preview of our Denver coverage, check out our Netroots Nation 2008 Coverage).
Go to PayPal and donate through our Florida Progressive Coalition account (quinnelk@gmail.com), or you can write a check to Florida Progressive Coalition and send it to me:

Tallahassee, FL 32309
You can also inquire about advertising by sending me an e-mail. FPC is a media entity set up as an LLC, so we don’t fall under campaign finance laws and contributions are not tax-deductible. But they do go to a good cause.
If we don’t get the 32 donations we still need, someone will have to stay home and miss the convention. That shouldn’t happen, as there’s no need for your $25 to prevent someone from going, so give as soon and as often as you can.
We’ll also publicly thank all of the donors, so let us know if you wish to remain anonymous or pseudonymous. Our latest contributions came from:
Gil Creque

Dan Smith
Rochelle & Byron Cisneros
