Easy Fund Raising Ideas

Archive for January, 2009

Question: Is it true that scientists use global warming as a fund raising tool????

We all know that the earth goes through cycles of temperatures of about 32 degrees from its highest point to its lowest, plus humans arn’t the main cause of CO2, so is it just a great fundraising tool then, or what?? And where does Al Gore fit in to all this???
well I’m glad that those of you who wrote early feel so strongly towards what Al Gore has to say, but what about when the Dino’s roamed the earth there where no Ice sheets and if you believe it or not we are still in an ice age, and those my friends are cold hard facts…..

Answer: The point about the being in an ice age is actually a fact that many forget to take into consideration. We are actually coming out of the last ice age still. What was the temperature BEFORE the ice age? Then we’ll know where we’re headed.

Also, although trivialized in the online Q&A, there are a number of highly educated and specialized scientist’s that do NOT agree that global warming is a problem. Over 17,000 have signed a petition indicating such beliefs. I have listed the source info below about the petition.

As also pointed out in a previous answer, people are NOT the number one cause of global warming. The sun is increasing in it’s solar outburst which directly affect the rising temperature of the earth, therefore, lets try to keep our minds open and use logical reasoning, something being taught less and less in our public schools.

We must NOT become sheople of the governmnet, but instead become self-educated people that have as many facts as possible before making any absolute judgements.

Is it bad to try and be more aware of what we’re doing? Of course not, but so far none of the governments have come up with a solution that will affect this alleged major ‘issue’. And NO, the ‘Kyoto Treaty’ is NOT the solution, just more big government causing more oversight using more of our tax money resulting in higher taxes to support a flawed proposal. I’d prefer to see our tax dollars helping those American’s here at home that are at or below poverty levels.

This is just my 2 cents worth, but don’t discount it too quickly. Despite what Al Gore’s mockumentary states, it’s not all true, nor all agreed upon by the top minds in the world.

The Right Tools for NonProfit Fundraising!

Question: Ever packed up and left, for good?

Heres the deal. I am going to be 22 next month. I live in MN currently and have been working as a salesman for a Fundraising Company since I was 18. I hated the job, but made it to general manager in a year, and just 2 weeks ago was fired by new management. I live alone, have no kids. I am sick of it here, I have had it. I am seriously thinking dailey about moving to somewhere in Cali by the ocean, always wanted to do it. I am due $4000 in tax refunds on the first, and I am ready to go. Has anyone ever just packed and left? What was it like? How did you do it? I am very very interested in anything anyone can tell me about this. Do I have enough money? Please tell me your stories, I really appreciate it!

Answer: No, but I intend to in June. I have a little bit more weighing me down than you do. I am married, have a kid, and own not one but 2 houses. I have all kinds of family who has told me they will never forgive me if I move to Florida in June as planned. Do I care? Not one bit. I hope to have at least one property sold by then. I am so sick of Arkansas, it is like the ocean calls to me. If I can pack up three people and move away from the place we have lived our whole lives, surely you can do it. $4000 might be enough, but you better be prepared for some quick action when you get there. that leaves you very little time to get a job, find a place to live, and really settle in. We are padding our moving fund significantly but as long as you aren’t lazy about getting started when you get there it should be more than enough. Just remember, as you described it “Cali, by the ocean” doesn’t come cheap, you are talking one of the most expensive places in the US to live. please do your homework. I have been doing mine for a year now.
