I'd like to toss in 50$ but i'm not american... Could someone trustworthy take it on them to make the donation if i send through stars or ft?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm trustworthy, but I've already donated. I have a solution though. My wife has yet to donate. If you want to do this, send me a PM.

[/ QUOTE ]

A warning to both people that this isn't legal. It is illegal to take money from a foreign national and illegal to do the type of enablement you describe. The candidate in question is supposed to give back the money if this gets found out and the person making the donation (the wife in the above) is violating the law. I looked into it as I wanted to do it too but found out I have to wait until I have my green card.

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, what if my wife donates seperate from any agreement we make. That is, she donates because she wants to. Now, you might happen to give us a gift of money as well. Now, where's the problem?

If you've already donated, please take the time to cross post this on at least one other forum.

Also, here's an article on our efforts:

http://www.gambling911.com/Jon-Kyl-103006.html'.html

This is the type of spin we need.

Still, we have not gotten enough donors. I know there are several people reading this thread who have still not donated. Don't waste any more time. Donate today! We need to at least get to 100 donors and $10,000. Come on fellow poker players. Donate whatever you can! Get your name added to the list of donors!

A PhD student from MIT ran some computer simulations and calculates Jim Pederson's chances of victory based on current polls at 10.5%.

I thought this was interesting as it relates to the tradesports contract and how close it is. I have always wondered if Pederson had any real life chance of winning.

This is a great fund; it's sad that Jim Pederson is on the other side of the line because Jon Kyl is terrible, but Jim Pederson is one shady fellow.

I donated my cool $13.71 (cause I like round numbers)

And Cat? I think it's "served"...

It's too bad there isn't a pop-up when you sign on to Stars, Full Tilt, etc. I know it's probably illegal or not in the best interest of the site but it sure would help our cause.

There was a suggestion to cross post on some of the high stakes forums, does anyone think this is a good idea or is it too late?
