I have this idea that I am going to whisper to the etherwinds,
and hope that it grows and becomes stronger as it journeys the webway.
The next Presidential election season is coming up on us, and folks all
over the nation are going to be passionately supporting their candidate of
choice. A great deal of this support comes from campaign contributions, funding
gifted to the campaigns by everyone from low income folks who donate what they
can, to the incredibly wealthy who donate millions.
I encourage each person who plans to donate money to a
particular candidate’s campaign to do so.
But I will ask you this, donate 10% less than what you
originally planned, and donate that 10 percent instead to something in your local
civic area.
Just ten percent.
You could donate it to a local firefighter fund, or something
to help improve local schools. Contribute something that directly benefits your
chosen cause in your hometown. A 10 percent contribution could mean that a local
facility will be offer a better meal and a bit more comfortable place to sleep
for a fellow human being.
Many people might not think that this will accomplish
anything. Who knows, it might not. However I read stories of folks planning to
donate literally millions and millions of dollars towards Campaign funding.
Millions. If we donated ten percent of that directly back into our local
communities, it equates to hundreds of thousands we are literally investing in
ourselves.
Just ten percent of what you spend to help a candidate you –hope-
will win, could create an amazing victory for your local community.
Think about it.
Thank you for your time and attention.
