Funding People's Lobby

 

Become a People's Lobby supporter at the $50.00 level and, at your request,  we will send you PLI's book that Ralph Nader puts in his Top Ten reads for 2009.

Support People's Lobby at $100, and we will send two books.

Working to get the AWSC Congressional Proposal introduced is not as much fun as doing the service the AWSC would dramatically expand.  To add in-field experience to PLI and PLEF's efforts, I am about to do another Habitat Build in Ethiopia.  You can help fund the trip with a tax deductible check donation to People's Lobby's Education Foundation (359 Jean St. Mill Valley, CA 94941). Thanks.  We need financial help.

 

As Stephanie Banas of a Brazil Habitat Build says:

"Global Village trips are a wonderful way to experience Habitat's mission at its very center.  Giving sweat and time toward the goals of the host affiliate provides a sense of "Habitatitis" surpassing anything we might catch while sitting at a desk."

Click and Pledge will NOT be repaired shortly.  

Help fund PLI by Check Donations to People's Lobby Inc., 359 Jean St., Mill Valley, CA 94941    

When our small, non-profit PLI signed up with Click & Pledge there was no monthly fee, just a service charge for each transaction.  Financial institutions RECENTLY started assessing a monthly charge on computerized pixel moving for each Click & Pledge vendor, even small non-profits.  Click & Pledge had to move the monthly assessment to small NPs like PLI and PLEF

As you may have noticed, financial institutions have found ways to make money on doing nothing.  Therefore, these  C&P links no longer work.  Our history of fund raising and odds of finding time to do better at fundraising caused us to not sign on to pay the monthly fee forced upon C&P by banksters.

We hope those of you able to contribute will send a check to the addresses below.

Checks/ donations to "People's Lobby" 359 Jean St., Mill Valley, CA 94941 or for tax deuctible donations make check to People's Lobby Education Foundation.

In 2002 and 2003 PLI loaned substantial funds to the non-profit organizations Philadelphia II and Direct Democracy to kick off the National Initiative for Democracy Campaign.  While awaiting payback of those loans, PLI needs funds to continue its efforts.

Funding a grassroots, guerilla campaign to present the National Initiative process to America voters will be expensive.  Funding People's Lobby will help educate the nation on the Direct Democracy Act and Amendment and allow the American people to vote on whether they want to give themselves a National Initiative Process.  Since People's Lobby is a 501 (c)(4)donations to it are not tax deductible.  We may be soon establishing a 50c3 to take tax  deductible charitable contributions

 Below we list some ways you can help fund PLI.

"Ed and Joyce are a national resource - they are not mere humans. I challenge anyone to find anyone in the last 50 years who could’ve formed this lobby. It is fundamental democracy.

 "Don't sell this country short. No country is capable of containing this fantastic notion that the Lobby has now. It's involved in the second American Revolution. It's a high stepping organization -- but it's not elitist because no one is good enough. It's most serious requirement is money - we need  one-quarter to one-half  million dollars to swing this national initiative." Don Koch
