How’s Your Freedom Fund Coming Along?

Back in August, when we were getting some perspective on the primary cycle we’d just been through, and looking toward the general I posted about what our pal Harry Kibler at RINOHunt calls a “Freedom Fund”. We now know that in order to elect conservatives we need to make our stand during the primaries. AND … in order to make sure that some “We the People” candidates can compete financially against the monies that the incumbants can rely on We the People need to be funding them. Funding them BIG. Funding them EARLY. We need to make budgeting for the primaries a part of our fight for freedom … hence the Freedom Fund.

From my post above:

You know you want to support a candidate in November, or during the next round of primaries. You may not know WHO that candidate will be yet, but you know you’ll be working toward the election of one or more conservative candidates. We KNOW they will need funding from us, the grassroots in order to compete financially with whatever incumbent currently holds that office. Determine now how much you want to donate to that candidate and begin saving now. Figure out an amount, count how many months between now and the date that candidate will file for office, and put away funds monthly so that on the day after that candidate files, you can give them EARLY MONEY! that will allow them to jump into their campaign full speed ahead. That early money will allow them to gain name recognition quickly and because of the peculiarities of campaign funding, your early money will draw other early money to your candidate.

So … make it fun, make it a family project, pick out a cool container, have some milestones, some family contests, but DO IT! I keep mine in a commemorative Dale Earnhardt tin with some nice metal Dale Earnhardt trading cards (which I’d NEVER trade!) When I cash checks, I put a bill in there. Sometimes it’s a $5.00, other times maybe a $20.00. But every time I lift that lid I get a satisfying “take that” feeling.

I know you know what I mean.
