Daily Voting News For August 28, 2008
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
It is never easy asking for funding but it is something that non-profit groups have to do occasionally. VotersUnite.Org
is not a project of Pew or one of the big-money organizations and we don’t want to be. We like being able to make our
own decisions and not having to make those decisions based on a position of a sponsoring organization. However, this
freedom means we have to do our own fundraising and we have to ask, hat in hand, for your help. “Daily Voting News” is a
near daily service provided by VotersUnite free of charge to subscribers. I have never taken a penny, beyond some
expenses, for doing this; not for over four years of gathering the news; and I never will. We do, however, have overhead
and we need help with that. So, here I am doing what I dislike doing very much, asking for help from you so we can keep
doing this work and keep VotersUnite.Org as one of the premier informational election integrity organizations. Please
help us out with a tax-deductible donation. ...
