Appeal for a cause I hold near and dear

For the last six years or so, I, along with many others in the American community, have received the internet newsletter now known as the Patriot Post, and I’m pleased to devote thousands of pixels to the large advertisement in the left-hand column.

Some of my friends know that I’m also a contributor to the newsletter, although like most of my fellows we’re considered pseudononymous and don’t receive a byline. Most weeks they ask me to write a short contribution to Friday’s Digest; this week I added the item on the outcry about merging two traditionally white colleges in Georgia into two traditionally black schools. (With some minor editing on their end, it’s on Page 8 here.)

Unlike my website, the Patriot Post doesn’t accept advertising and relies on the goodwill of their readers to contribute and support their efforts at putting out content three times a week to the thousands and thousands on their distribution list, all for free to the reader.

Whether it was because I’ve donated regularly in the past or for my written contributions to the Digest, I was surprised yesterday to find a package from them delivered to my door, with this inside:

This was an unexpected surprise.

They also sent me a nice, new pocket edition of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution that I can place on my desk. (Not sure what I’ll do with the old one…maybe send it to Frank Kratovil?)

Once again, yesterday I donated to help the effort out, and hopefully you’ll read the Digest I linked to (which is the last one for 2008; they’ll resume their normal schedule on Monday, January 5th with what I presume would be the 09-01 Brief) and decide to send a few bucks their way as well to help spread the message of Constitutional government.
