Subject: [restorela] Meetup Update - Call for Donations

Hi all,
  Our phone conference was a success, however was only attended by 5 people, with about 24 of you not bothering to RSVP at all.  Having a lot of experience with meetup.com in the past, I know this is typical of other meetups.  However, this group has much to do, and at this time, needs active participants in getting our operations off the ground and recruit new members to Restore LA and our cause of fighting for our representation within LA County.

We've already raised close to $10,000, and spent roughly $8,000 on our first campaign against LA County corruption.  We will continue to raise funds into 2010, looking to support candidates in the very near future.

Because Restore LA currently needs 'a few good men and women', people who are looking for more than another social club, committed to helping us build our organization, we are adding a "good-faith" donation requirement to remain a meetup member.

Starting tomorrow, everyone in our meetup has one month, until February 12, 2010, to make a small $25.00 donation to Restore LA.  Donations can be made with a check or on our website using Paypal.

Checks can be made out to 'Restore LA' and sent to:
601 Wilshire Blvd. #931
Los Angeles, CA 90017

We are registered with the State of CA as a 527 organization, our FPPC # is 1319125.

Going forward, all new members will also have a one month "trial" period from the time of their meetup join to see if he or she is truly interested in supporting our organization.  After this month, they will also be asked to make a $25.00 donation toward Restore LA and help finance its operations.

Our current monthly expenses include our phone lines (calls, voter polling), including our "Red Phone" fraud tip hotline, our website hosting and development, and mailbox.

Besides the $25.00 donation, the greatest thing we can all do right now is tell friends and grow our numbers.  LA is huge and going to require at least 100-200 committed and engaged citizens in order to get anything done.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Yours in service,
