TFL is Now Taking Donations: Your Help Urgently Needed! - Page 3

Steve Smith · April 14, 2002, 01:15 PM

I'll get mine in before midnight tonight. I have to do taxes first though! :barf:

Brett Bellmore · April 14, 2002, 01:53 PM

$75 donated, by credit card. Hope it's a good movie!

**Mike Irwin** · April 14, 2002, 02:14 PM

As soon as I finish refinancing my house, I'll be making a contribution.

Ancel48 · April 14, 2002, 03:38 PM

Money order for $29 is on the way.

skyder · April 14, 2002, 04:33 PM

Done. Let's spread the word to those who might not catch the notification here.

Jhp147 · April 14, 2002, 05:16 PM

for the 29 bucks for now at least. This will be interesting to watch develop, you know?

22x9 · April 14, 2002, 08:06 PM

Okie dok. I maybe unemployed but I just donated $29. If I wasn't, I would have donated $250, for the cause and too see my name in the credits. Now that would freak-out my Anti wife.

citra45 · April 14, 2002, 10:34 PM

Got mine in this evening by credit card. Lets hope this film gets made. We need it!

**Rich Lucibella** · April 14, 2002, 11:16 PM

OK...times up on the challenge. Guess what?
Y'all came thru. Challenge met and exceeded!

Here's the conservative guesstimate tally that I have so far:
Total Sent Since Challenge: $2,473
Total Sent Prior to Challenge: $1,400 (Thanks again, Rob)
Add in S.W.A.T.: $1,000
Add in TFL (will do this in the AM): $1,000
Add in pledges: $341

Total raised from our efforts in three days: $6,214.00!!!!!!!!

We've set a $10,000 goal for TFL. Most Members will see this for the first time during the week. Please step in and help. If you value our ability to use TFL for more than just talk, this is an outstanding opportunity to demonstrate our ability to make things happen.

Someone get over to GlockTalk, 1911 and the others. If any other Forum can top the TFL tally by end of week (Midnight, Sunday April 21), TFL will match the difference! Final determination will be left up to the owners of those Forums....if they say they topped us, that's good enough for me.

Personal thanks to each and every one of you.

I just saw this thread, so I missed the midnight deadline, but I just donated (and ordered a copy of Hope, since I really liked The Mitzvah). I'm already a JPFO member, but this thread encouraged me to get off my butt and contribute to the project.

I can't wait to see the film.

Schmit · April 15, 2002, 06:31 AM

Rich,

Yesterday morning I sent the info to the owners of a couple other forums, so hopefully they'll post a notice. I also when and posted on another smaller forum.

Like you said, now that the work week is here most people will just now be seeing it (No boss, I'm not surfing the net, I'm... aaaaa.... researching, yeah, thats the ticket, researching that project!!)

Kirk Keller · April 15, 2002, 07:38 AM

but I just ponied up another $29.

Byron Quick · April 15, 2002, 08:25 AM

Tail end, Charlie...again. Just got home from work. Just got online. Just saw this. Missed the deadline. Darn it.

Well, two weeks ago today, I spent about 7% of my gross annual salary on firearms. Guess I can rip out a sum that is a lot less than that for the fight to keep them.

I'll pledge $250 to the production of the film and get a Life membership.

RWK · April 15, 2002, 12:18 PM

On the road and hadn't seen this earlier. Payment made today.

rock_jock · April 15, 2002, 12:39 PM

$75 donated today. This is a great cause. With effort, it could be a publically-recognized endeavor, with media attention and TV coverage.

C'mon, Texans!! We ought to be able to get $5,000 out of our state alone.

Oh, and I am going to forward a link of this thread to the gun community in my area.

**Rich Lucibella** · April 15, 2002, 02:42 PM

$1,000.00 donated in the name of TheFiringLine.com
Rich

B9mmHP · April 15, 2002, 03:07 PM

Done $30 wish it could have been more.
I used the 800# and told the man on the phone where I got the heads-up TFL.

Thanks Rich.

Jim V · April 16, 2002, 09:23 AM

fal308 · April 16, 2002, 09:41 AM

I'm sending $50.

I hope to see many more replies stating others are donating also. I've been a member of this board since almost the beginning and never has Rich asked for any financial assistance before. As a matter of fact he's been downright obstinate about accepting donations to help offset the costs of this site.
So I hope my small bit helps out.

Tamara · April 16, 2002, 09:58 AM

I'm in.

Found $75 between change under the sofa cushions and recycleable bottles in the kitchen.

OF · April 16, 2002, 11:35 AM

$75 here!

- Gabe

johnbt · April 16, 2002, 12:00 PM

I made a small donation by credit card a few days ago, but it didn't occur to me to post it here because I'm really not too bright when it comes to money and stuff.

John

Johnny Guest · April 16, 2002, 06:18 PM

Maybe they can use my money anyhow.
Just sent $75 via my overworked Visa to JFPO website.

Thanks for bringing this up, Rich.

Best,
Johnny

Spectre · April 16, 2002, 06:36 PM

Just saw this. I'll give a hearty donation as soon as I get my bonus.

jason10mm · April 16, 2002, 09:18 PM

My $75 for the film and a 2 year membership is on the way. Damn, I think I am a member of every gun rights organization I know of. I wonder if I am on a federal list somewhere????? Later.
