He said he'll donate an extra dollar for every Texan that has contributed (right now I think the list is at 34).

Let's bankerupt GOPisEvil - come on Texas make a donation and meet the challenge!!!

1. what of us with a monthly deduction to DU

we aren't in the state by state list. If we "come out" like this will our Austin friend kick in an extra buck for us? :evilgrin:

[LynneSin]

2. I think he's looking for extra donations

I'm a montly donater too, but I always kick in a few extra bucks during donation time.

3. I'm an ex-Texas DU'er who has already donated.

I think he should have to kick in a buck for me too.

Just to be on the safe side. Don't you agree?

[Wickerman]

5. same here!

:evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

7. Uh, current state of residence must be Texas.

Sorry...I'm a state employee after all. :D

[Wickerman]

11. fair enough

and a very good thing you are doing!
:thumbsup:

And remember back to the oil and SL crash in the late 70's early 80's - bankruptcy is a Texas tradition!

[GOPisEvil]

12. Been there - done that...

...got the credit report blotch. Less than 5 years to go until the stain is removed. :thumbsup:

[XNASA]

13. I'd never own up to something so grotesque.

LOL!! :evilgrin:

See you soon, BTW.

How about next Saturday night at my brother's place???

[GOPisEvil]

14. Oh boy...

Next Saturday at 9:45pm the Mr. Sinus Theater group is doing "Pretty In Pink". Should be several hoots. Think Mystery Science Theater 3000 skewering Pretty In Pink. :-)

4. Okay, I just did

That was the little push I neeeded to get off my lazy ass and donate again. Thanks!

[GOPisEvil]

6. YOU HAVE UNTIL NOON CT TODAY!!!

That is my cut-off.

Eh, bankrupt me, it's cool. DU is worth it! :D

[Richardo]

16. You're on, bro...you too, pmbryant...

I'll donate again just for that...

"Series"-ly, nice work, guys :thumbsup:

[pmbryant]

18. At your deadline, I count 39 TX donations on the official leaderboard

Excellent!

:bounce:

EDIT: Oops. I was 1 minute early. But there's still 39 on the board now.


EDIT AGAIN: Texas is now in 10th place in the number of DU donations per number of Gore votes in 2000! We passed Massachusetts, Idaho, and Nevada. Now we're hot on Arizona's and Oregon's heels!

DC, Delaware, and Alaska still lead the pack.

EDIT x 3: Ok, I sent in the $39. :bounce:

8. What the hell. I'll match him.

We need more Texas donations!

By my calculations, Texas is still stuck in 13th place in DU donations per number of Gore votes in 2000, just behind Nevada, Idaho, and Massachusetts, but just ahead of New Mexico, West Virginia, and Minnesota.

10. that gave me the shove I needed!

I usually leave my wallet in the car... so I had to schlep out to get it. If DU took Discover, I wouldn't have needed to (I have that # memorized).

Thanks, David and PMBryant!

[fudge stripe cookays]

15. Ack!

I have to wait until we get paid tomorrow or reprehensor will hurt me. I gave to Howie's bat again this month when we had a huge car insurance payment due. I'm in hot water.

I promise GOP AND the grovelbot we'll send in something.

[Robb]

17. Aw....

...I thought the "challenge" would be some kind of Thunderdome sort of thing.

Two men enter, one man leaves. :silly:

[GOPisEvil]

19. The total is: 39!!!

OK DU - here comes another $39! :-)
