Shooting from the hip
TAC founder Michael Boldin on a problem we're
having.
I don't know how else to put this
I'm not really good at being a politician,
because I generally
despise them. So all I can do is shoot straight from the hip. I hope you can
appreciate my
honesty.
Today, the Tenth Amendment Center received a
direct attack by
the George Soros-funded ThinkProgress - a major establishment organization with
tens of
millions of dollars at their disposal.
If we don't get some help taking these people
on, we're in
some big trouble. We just can't keep going on like this, begging to barely get
by.
please help us HERE:

Here are some choice quotes about TAC at
ThinkProgress today:
"radical tactics"
"makes John Calhoun look like a moderate"
"They fear the federal government with
pathological intensity"
our goal is "burning it down"
They basically warned people to not work with us
because we
are so dangerous to the future of the country.
HERE'S OUR SERIOUS PROBLEM:
The TAC is operated from a spare bedroom, now a
home office,
in my apartment. We're going head to head with the NSA, gun control,
Obamacare, and George
Freaking Soros.
We are struggling to raise a mere $30,000, and
are actually 4
thousand SHORT! But with that little, we've still had so much impact that this
Soros group
is attacking us.
30 thousand vs 40 million. This is David v
Goliath. We'll
continue taking them on, but you know what? 30K isn't really going to cut it.
4 more
thousand gets us to our baseline goal - so we can stay open. We really need
significantly
more than that.
Please help us out in a big way right now:

I'm working 80+ hours almost every week. I
recently put in 17
days without one off - I got to the point that I put in so many hours that I
was brought to
tears a few times.
Mike Maharrey, our communications director -
works a good 50
hours a week and makes $700 a month. 7 hundred. That's embarrassing. He has
to keep a
part time job at 4 in the morning so he can pay his bills. We should all be
thanking him
for his dedication.
Amanda Bowers, our outreach director - she's
working 30 hours
a week, I think. Probably more. She makes $600 a month.
Other team members like Shane Trejo and Jeff
Stewart make $100
or $150 a week.
Basically, everyone's a volunteer.
While I'm very grateful for all these good folks
- and other
people who donate their time, facts are facts - people CANNOT volunteer their
time like this
forever.
Maharrey - there's no way he can continue this
pace. No way.
Eventually, he'll have to quit.
In fact, that's just what happened with one of
our original
volunteers this week, Lesley Swann. She's put in hundreds of volunteer hours -
and had to
step down to take care of her health. She doesn't have the time to keep a job,
take care of
her family life, her health - and be in the loop of all the things we're
working on. No
way. If we could afford to hire her away from her day job, we'd have one of
the best
activists in the country.
But people need to pay their rent. I know I do.
I'll ask again. PLEASE HELP US.

There are TEN STATES with bills to thwart the
NSA, that's why
the establishment is attacking us.
There are EIGHT STATES taking on Obamacare with
more coming,
that's why the establishment is attacking us.
There are TEN STATES taking on federal gun
control, with more
coming. That's why the establishment is attacking us.
Last week, the SC house voted 100-ZERO - to
virtually ban
drones without a warrant. This will kill that program, because the only way for
it to take
off is through unrestricted use. Yesterday, an NH house committee voted
unanimously to
approve an anti-NDAA indefinite detention bill.
We're doing this on less than 30 thousand
dollars. When I
think about that, it blows my mind. There's no way we can keep this up without
getting to
another level financially. We don't need their millions, but yeah, it costs
money to do
what we're doing.
We run ad campaigns to get people active in
support of
nullification bills. They work. We report on legislation, put together
handbooks to explain
the legal principles to legislators, deal with media requests, write op-ed
articles in major
publications, organize grassroots events, publish books and DVD's and a lot
more.
If we were at $50K or $100K, we could afford to
keep Mike
Maharrey on - and Amanda could work more time. We could run bigger action
campaigns and
increase the # of bills that we will get passed this year. We could get
ourselves in the
major media MORE OFTEN - because we could afford a few hundred dollars a month
in PR from a
great firm that has offered us discounted rates.
In other words - if we were just at 1/5 of 1% of
the
fundraising of ThinkProgress, we could move mountains.
Can you give us $10? Or $1000?
PLEASE HELP US. I want this to continue. I hope
you do too.

Can you give us $10,000 or more? Please call,
213.935.0553
and let's make it happen.
Wish us luck, and thank you for everything.

(small things grow great by concord)
Michael Boldin
Founder, Tenth Amendment Center
PS - THANK YOU for getting us this far. I never
imagined us
getting to the point that TAC was so big we couldn't manage the work to do. We
are way
beyond that point, and I hope with all my heart that you believe in us enough
to help us
carry on.
