Also, one more quick thing it would be helpful if you would post the Paypal address and mailing address at the bottom of every one of your "update" emails... to make it easier for people.

Re: [WISPA] [WISPA Members] [Board] Lobbying Fund Drive Update
Donations slowed down today. I really want everyone to do some soul searching over the weekend. We need more assistance from everyone on this fundraising project. "Ask not what WISPA can do for you, but what can I do for WISPA"! Ok, that was corny, but it has been a long week J Less than 10% of the WISPA members have stepped up and made donations to this cause and we are nearly half way to our goal. I have done enough fundraising in my time to realize that the last push for is the most important. The pledges are smaller and it takes longer to accumulate, but it is still very important to keep asking, even for the smallest donations. Anyone who wants to make an anonymous pledge, please let me know and I will list the pledge amount with Anonymous as the name. These donations will be used to fund Lobbying Efforts directly correlated to the Broadband Stimulus Act and resulting directives on funding dispersal. These agencies include the FCC, NTIA and the USDA. As rulemaking, policy and procedure is being defined, we will have a chance to help guide the rulemaking. Tom DeReggi and his Legislative team are committed to working with Rini-Coran through this process. I have also committed time in my calendar to go to DC as needed. WISPA has already committed funds to the TVWhitespaces lobbying, which is ongoing at this time. This funding request is above and beyond that. I know a lot of the list below personally and I know that many of the amounts pledged were probably more than they could afford. It just goes to show the character of those people and the faith they are putting in WISPA to help them insure their success in the future. Please send me an email with your pledge as I would like to wrap this up by midweek next week. Respectively, Rick Harnish Lobbying Fund Drive Goal is $30,000 Matt Larsen Vistabeam $250 Mark AckawayMyakka Technologies $1500 George Rogato OregonFast $1000 Nathan Stooke WisperISP $1000 Brian RohrbacherReliable Inter.net $500 Don Renner NetSurfUSA $1000 John Scrivner MVN.Net $500 Gino Villarini Aeronet $1000 Mike HammettIntelligent Computer Solutions $50 Charles Bender Skynet Broadband$500 Craig Baird Xpressweb $500 Dave Giles Invisimax $500 Jay Dominique Access Paging $500 David Sovereen Mercury Network $1000 Mark Radabaugh Amplex $500 Cliff Leboeuf Computer Sales & Services, Inc. $500 Steve BarnesRCWIFI $250 Craig House Total Wireless Communications $250 Roland HouinFourway $500 Dustin Jurman Rapid Systems $500 Ron Wallace Tiger Internet $250 Marlon Schafer Odessa Office Equipment $500 Total Raised Thus Far $13050 January New Member Goal is 60.
