Danah Boyd says she’ll double her contribution to Kerry if ten readers contribute by tomorrow.
I’m not crazy about Kerry (as a “recent posting”:https://blog.org/archives/cat_current_affairs_us.html#001180 might indicate) but I don’t think he’d be a bad president and I think it would be catastrophic for the US and for the world if we had another four years of Bush in the White House.
I am one of those who has decided to donate as a result (and I already donated once earlier). If Bush does get in I don’t want to have thought I could have done more to stop him. It depresses me that my most important vote is the one I make with my wallet but that seems to be the way American politics has gone.
If you are at all motivated to join me please do so and let her know. And do it soon – tomorrow is the last day you can donate!
P.S. It’s annoying that the Kerry site seems to believe you have to be a US resident to donate (the online form insists on a zip code). Don’t they want my money? There is no legal reason I can’t donate as far as I know (I am an American citizen, though I don’t boast much about it these days).
Right on & thanks!!
Because you have to be a citizen or resident to donate, the easiest way to check this is via zipcode. I’m guessing they didn’t think of American citizens who have no US postal address. I wonder how common that is since most people have a US postal address to send tax stuff to…
