It’s time again for CPAC and I find myself lacking in the money department. So, while I am hesitant to do it, I am going to do something I have not done before.
Ask for donations.
The registration to CPAC is $175. The flight to Baltimore from Kansas City is about the same.
There are always incidentals. I’m not asking for much more than the cost of the flight and registration. I have the lodging covered (aka crashing at my brother’s house.)
Therefore, I was hoping you, my loyal readers, could spare a buck or two to help me foot the bill.
There are over a 1000 subscribers. If everyone gave enough for me to get a can of Mountain Dew from a soda machine, this would be over in no time.
If you like All American Blogger and have enjoyed the content here, please help me out. I don’t rattle the tip jar often.
Thanks in advance.

So, Duane, how do we get our can of Mountain Dew money to you?

okay, I’ll start the ball rolling. I just sent in $25.00. I used my wife’s PayPal acct, which I’ve never used before) but I don’t know if it worked (I didn’t see your widget show the donation). If it doesn’t kick in later, please email me at tomllewis1@gmail.com and I’ll mail you a check (I’ll need an address).

Just click on the orange “ChipIn” button. It should take it from there. Thanks!

I will be at CPAC so I need to save the money also.
We will have to meet up there. I will also be on a panel for online activism. Blogs and Social Networking.
I always meet the most interesting people at these events.

I had a blast last year and met some cool people. One is getting me in for free actually as a speaker.
Also you should try and see if you can get a Blogger’s Row pass. I do not know who is sponsoring it this year. At the moment I think they are taking apps on site. Because I also want a Blogger;s pass, the bloggers row this year should be cool A Balcony on the main room. Last year we were in the garage. Dungeon actually.

And the best thing is we pay for this disgusting stuff. Why is there still a NPR anyway. I think about 15 people listen to it on the radio

Hi Duane, I don’t know if this will work, but my friend who was going to share my hotel room at CPAC may not go. If so, I would be able to cover your hotel cost for nothing. There are 2 double beds, so it’ll just not get used. I don’t know if you’re comfortable with that, but I’ve already paid up. Let me know if that would help you.
You’re also one of my favorite bloggers that I read every day. I’m just barely beginning to get enough confidence to write about my own opinions.
I remember how gracious you were last year by offering to help me when I was raising money for the NY20 disaster (imagine how it feels to raise $1,400,000 in 8 weeks, and then LOSE. It was the worst run campaign I had been involved in, in 20 years).

Tom,
That’s really generous of you, but one of the reasons I like to go to DC is it gives me a chance to see my younger brother, who works at the Newseum. He lives just south of DC.
Thanks anyway.
