Shameless Plug: If you haven’t already, take a minute and sign Progress Florida’s petition urging the Moffitt Cancer Center to stop their horrible practice of hiring tobacco lobbyists to represent them in Tallahassee.

198 Small Donors to Go

July 15, 2008 by Kenneth

In our fundraising efforts to attend the Democratic Convention in August, we’ve decided to focus on a small donor campaign. We figured out that it’ll take us 240 people contributing $25 each for us to reach what we need to go to Denver and provide you with the best convention coverage in America. So far, we have the equivalent of 42 ($1050), leaving us 198 to go. Anyone reading this should be able to donate $25 to help us get there.

Go to and donate through our Florida Progressive Coalition account (quinnelk [at] gmail [dot] com), or you can write a check to Florida Progressive Coalition and send it to me:

3328 Whirlaway Trail
Tallahassee, FL 32309

You can also inquire about advertising by sending me an e-mail. FPC is a media entity set up as an LLC, so we don’t fall under campaign finance laws and contributions are not tax-deductible. But they do go to a good cause.

If we don’t get the 198 donations we still need, someone will have to stay home and miss the convention. That shouldn’t happen, as there’s no need for your $25 to prevent someone from going, so give as soon and as often as you can.
