Green Day Autographed Guitar: Last Chance

[Alan Grayson]

For those people who never read these missives from me, but for some strange reason are reading this one, we will be giving an autographed Green Day guitar to one of our supporters. Anyone who makes a contribution now – any amount -- at the “I Wanna Rock and Roll” webpage is eligible. (As well as anyone who sends an e-mail to [e-mail].)

Why am I repeating myself? Two reasons. First, we are setting a deadline for contributions – midnight on Thursday night. If you snooze, you lose.

Second, I need your help to avoid risk of embarrassment. When Blue America PAC Chief (and former Warner Reprise Records chief) Howie Klein asked me how much he thought we could raise if he did this for us, I blithely predicted that 1,000 supporters would contribute $20,000. So far, my blithe-y-ness has not paid off. Only 860 contributors have contributed a total of $16,623.84. So we need at least 140 contributors to chip in at least $3,376.16 more, or Howie may never talk to me again. Or maybe Howie may talk to me, but he will speak to me only in haiku. Or proverbs.

Oh – and if you’ve given before, but you give again now, that counts as two entries.

So consider this: A contribution at our “I Wanna Rock and Roll” webpage will help our campaign. It may win you a gorgeous autographed Green Day guitar. And it will help to get me off the hook with Howie Klein.

Seriously, what more could you want? Click here.

Courage,

Alan Grayson

P.S. If you are disappointed to have reached the end of this note already, and you wish that I had more to say, consider this:

Lovers, stars themselves,
Must part.”
