1. Donation

I am pretty poor at the moment, but I do have a small Paypal balance. I am sending it to them with a notation 'donation' in the comments box, along with a "thanks" for their courage.

[Clinton Crusader]

2. Same here...had a bit left over in the Paypal, so I sent it to them.

:kick:

[karlrschneider]

5. Same here, had a few bucks sitting there...I split it between them

and the ACLU. ;-)

3. This is Great...I'm sure this

Heartens them down at the Crawford Paper.."The Iconoclast".

[Career Prole]

4. Thanks! I subscribed last week after their kick-ass Kerry endorsement.

Anyone who can swing the price should consider it to show them there's no penalty for telling the truth.

9. Sorry to kick this again but...

this really means alot to me. These guys went so far out on a limb by doing what they did and it really upsets me to see them now facing going under. What kind of people are down there in Crawford anyway?

PLEASE if you have $5.00 to spare, please send it to them through Paypal. If we all kicked in $1.00 imagine what they'd have!

Thanks!

I've been hoping for that info.

[phish420]

11. Sweet. Thank You!

Been wanting to donate, and that is the easiest way for me! KICK!

[spooky3]

12. For those interested, see the Ask the Administrators q asked by

quaor (sp?). Skinner may approve DU's buying an ad and maybe more DUers can contribute then.

[phish420]

19. Great great great I guess theyre gettin hammered by wingnuts

We need to show our appreciation for their bravery in that hostile place.

[Demi_Babe]

20. I will donate but is this in fact a legit address for the paper

I just want to be absolutely sure. Thanks!

[phish420]

25. God it better be!

Just spent $22.50! lol

[Clinton Crusader]

31. Its' legit, here's the headers from the email

52. That really doesnt mean anything since

[phish420]

53. What email adress was it sent from? I feel scammed

[Clinton Crusader]

59. read post 35

I got the email addy I wrote to from DU, someone posted it here and I have no reason to believe it's fake.

21. This is great news... now for phase II

I had planned on calling them Monday and driving up there to see if I could help them get their PayPal acct happening.

Now that they have a way to receive revenue, we need to help find them some advertising sponsors. Those long term commitments are what will ultimately keep them afloat until the cretins that pulled their advertising realize they are loosing business and wish to "come back", so to speak.

Thanks again to everyone working on this...

22. Kick. n/t

[Hamlette]

23. done

only $10 bucks as we're facing a close governor's race here. Between ACLU, (fighting gay marriage amendment) move on (great ads!) Kerry and Matheson...I'll be paying off my credit card into next year.

It's WORTH it!

[gollygee]

24. Getting a subscription probably helps them more than anything

because it increases their advertising base as well as giving them $$

More circ = more ads.

[troubleinwinter]

26. KICK in some $

to support FREE PRESS!!!!!

[DeepModem Mom]

27. Kick!

[Dem2theMax]

28. Kicking back up to the top!

:kick:

[Longhorn]

29. Just got a subscription.

If DU buys an ad, I'd like to contribute to that, too!

[Tom_Foolery]

30. Kick.

[sherilocks]

32. I was about to order a subscription

but decided to check the phone number first. There was no number listed for the Lone Star Iconoclast. I did a reverse check on the number listed here and it came back to two papers in Clifton, TX. Are we ordering the right newspaper when we call 254-675-3336? I just left a callback for Rebeca Rodriquez from the San Antonio Express-News to verify. Or has someone done this already?

[n2mark]

33. What's Up?

I tried to call the Iconoclast this morning, the phone does not ring, just static on the other end.

I've never used paypal before, but I'm sent to an email address.

What Up?

[sherilocks]

35. I got a call back from Rebeca Rodriquez at the San Antonio

paper and she verified that the number is correct for the Lone Star Iconoclast. She also gave me an 800 number for the paper.

1-800-241-5504

I ordered a subscription.

[Clinton Crusader]

36. kick so everyone can read your reply

:kick:

[demokatgurrl]

37. I think they are getting bombarded! When I called

they asked me to try back on the website on Tuesday, and they will have a link up. I HOPE I have this right:
lonestariconoclast-texas.com


I sent an email and asked them to charge a subscription to my PayPal account- haven't heard back yet.

[joeprogressive]

38. Thanks for your work on this....

I just made my pseudo donation. Pseudo because they are mailing me a newspaper. This way they can beef up their subscription numbers. Keep this kicked so we can give those people some job security. They certainly are a light in a vast sea of darkness in that region.

[sherilocks]

39. Kick

I'm slow; just figured out what "kick" means.

[joeprogressive]

40. I know what you mean

I haven't figure out a lot of the lingo yet.

[joeprogressive]

41. Keep us posted

Clinton Crusader, if you have contact with the newspaper, it would be interesting to find out how much their subscription numbers have increased. Could you keep us posted?

They (repubs)only have the power to cancel the 3000 or so existing subscriptions we have the potential to double, triple, quadruple, etc. their numbers.

[Clinton Crusader]

43. Im trying to find out - will report

:kick:

[Wind Dancer]

42. Done!

Donated $22.50 for six months - asked that they donate to local library or other needed place.

They are getting lots of calls and hope to stay in business.

[joeprogressive]

44. Any chance we can get them to mention this on Airamerica.

Let's set a goal of at least 10,000 subscribers.

[Demi_Babe]

45. I like that

[Tom_Foolery]

46. Kick.

[troubleinwinter]

47. KICK

[n2mark]

48. After

several phone calls finally got through.... my subscription is for a year. I live in Arizona.

Did anyone send this info to the Kerry forum? or the the Democratic Party?

As of this morning they had over 100 new subscriptions.

If you still need money for an ad... let us know. I can donate a little, but not a lot.

[joeprogressive]

49. We can do better

If there was ever a truly worthy cause. Protect free press and help save some jobs. Let's at least get 1,000 subscriptions from DUers. I bought 1.5 and I am a very poor grad student. Thanks to everyone for keeping this alive.

55. This needs a good tough kick

[joeprogressive]

56. Here is the link again

Keep kicking. The great thing about the paypal account is DUers can access it anytime. I think people have had trouble getting through on phone. Maybe tomorrow we can get a subscription count.

to get a subscription on-line. How is everybody else doing it? What am I missing here??

Thank you for posting this!

64. Anyone know what their subscribership is up to now?

[patricia92243]

65. I used that link, and all it would let me do is send a e-mail to them, but

no paypal access. Any suggestions how to give to them on-line?

[joeprogressive]

67. go to paypal.com....

then either create account or log in if you already have one. Hit the send money tab then put [e-mail] in the recipient's email address box. Then just follow directions from there. Good luck. Keep the subscriptions coming guys. Good work to all.
