Four Hours To Midnight!
So close!
UPDATE: If we reach $10,000 by midnight, I've agreed to post an entire chapter from my book (in stock now!) -- free of charge in the handy pdf format. So in the spirit of the election and, you know, democracy, I thought I'd leave the choice of which chapter up to you. Make your choice based on the chapter titles in the poll below:

From now until 11:00, I'm going to match any donations given, up to the goal of $10,000.
Just post your donation in the thread here, and I'll match it.

Dang it...
First of all, I'm notoriously spoiled. You can't promise me one thing and then try to give me something else. I just can't flip the script that fast. So I voted for the chapter we were promised.
2nd, I'm broke. But with a matching promise, and being so close, I'm going to find another $5.
Matthew, I'll post when I've done the deed...

Okay, another $10 in the pot. And although it may have my name on it, it's not from me. My goddamn awesome kid...who canvassed with me for 4 hours this afternoon in the rain...gave me $10 out of his Wii game fund to donate to Obama. Because he doesn't like war and heard Obama give a speech where he talked about giving teachers more money - and he wants his 3rd grade teacher to get a raise.

Wow! I remember when this first came up!
The goal was One Grand! I pitched in $15.00 which is a lot for me!
Then it shot up and up and up!
I shot in another $10.00 today when I got my Social Security! And I'm glad to do it!
Now, I kid you not, I wouldn't have done it except for Bob the Cesca! I certainly supported Obama anyway, but Bob the Cesca gave it a greater level of importance!
Hats off to Bob! You're a good man!
