| 2009 Parliamentary elections - donations & fundraising -
15th June 2008
The 2009 parliamentary elections are less than 1 year away.
As we all know FPM doesnt enjoy a credit line from KSA or Iran to fund their electoral campaigns.
FPM's electoral campaign relies mainly on donations from FPMers, and FPM supporters around the world.
Donations are critical to be able to conduct a successful electoral campaign. The logistics of such a campaign requires a lot of money.
A fund raising campaign should be launched as early as possible, and not relying on the last 1-2 months to raise enough money for the elctoral campaign.
In the Metn by-elections, FPM was faced with a not so innocent decision by the US administration that lead to FPM supporters in the US thinking twice before donating money to that electoral campaign.
you dont want to endure something similar come election time in 2009.
The paypal donation button that used to be on tayyar.org should be back on again ASAP, so that people can start donating from now!
There should be an option as well to make a monthly donation.
For example, I might be able to donate 25$/50$ a month from now til election day, but i might not be able to donate 300$/600$ at once in May 2009! I consider myself to be paying an internet bill, or a cable bill every month, and donate for the tayyar campaign!
Some people might want to donate 10$/month, some might want to donate 1000$/month.
This way FPM can raise the biggest amount possible. |
