We need your support! We always operate in the red, but your participation means less funding from our pocket goes to make up the difference. Just a few bucks is all we ask. Please show a little support for the quarterly fund drive. There are several ways to show your support: You can make a donation, subscribe to our quarterly newsletter (2 bucks a month), Purchase from our store, or you can buy advertising.
Prefer to support us via postal mail?

Le Mars, IA 51031TJ says that if you are broke to not worry about it. He's broke too and knows your pain.
And for those of you who can afford 5 or 10 bux, TJ is more grateful than he can fully express.
Myself? I'm a monthly $10 subscriber, and last month I bought 5 books plus 2 more canvas totes.
And that doesn't even come close to covering how much I value the Project and it's library of information.

You know, it's a weird thing. Not too terribly long ago a rather lengthy background investigation was done on me and they did everything but check my underwear....though they may have while I was asleep. Strange that they asked about every donation I made in the past 3 years and of course I told them. (Since there were exactly 8 of them) And the only one they really queried........an off the books hap hazard fund that helps guys who fall on hard times who did what I used to do (jump out of planes and break things).......weird, uh? You dudes and dudettes thought I was guna say POAC dinja?
OK, here is the deal. Ill match dollar for dollar every one time donation up to $50.00. Just PM POAC or SKY and tell him what you are giving and he can keep a tally. When the deal is done either can let me know and Ill write a check for what I owe. I dont need to know who gave what, just that the money was donatated. Yup.
Cowboy up! (Sorry ,Max...Cowgirl, too)

What are your feelings on pledges TJ? (An yours Abell!)
I haven't got the cash to give right now and I don't know for sure that I will before the fund raiser is over (though I certainly hope so!) BUT, as soon as I've got it, you've got it... wont be long, I just don't know how long!
I'd like what I give to count towards the total, and I'd love the magnificent Abell to match my donation, so what do you think... can I pledge?

BUMP. (in case some of you were meaning to take me up on this offer.)
I dont know about you guys but I read POACs story....you need to read that shit. Its there in the donation column. If what happened to him had happened to me....there would be blood, snot, and teeth laying everywhere amoung the smoking ruins of what used to be a business.
Dudes and dudettes, when someone is swimming upstream against all odd's...ya help. I do it because I admire tenacity in the face of adversity. You can do it for some other reason. But none the less.....do it.

OK, here's the deal.
Tonight after I get home from work, I'm gonna pay the bills and take care of business because today it's payday.
Then I'm going over to the POAC Begging Page and donate the full amount of Abells matching pledge.
My $50, matched up with Abells $50, hell, that's STILL only a drop in the preverbial bucket!
Still, that's what I'm gonna do!

Not questionable in the slightest.
Abells matching pledge for me, was a maximum of $50, which I took full advantage of.
I really don't understand the confusion, or see an issue.

Ok, I donated $50.00 and I'll get some books. Lucky I checked this threads manually, because I am still not getting emails notifications for my posts. I did at first but they stopped during the last few days.
