C99p Matching Monthly Pledge Drive: Final Update!
UPDATE: 5:30PM MDT Well, folks, I've been away today, but I'd like to announce that a total of $855 in new monthly donation pledges have been recorded in the comments of this diary! And that doesn't include the very generous $100 monthly pledge Hawkfish set up a couple of weeks ago. You are all awesome and I love you!
There are problems setting up monthly donations on the "Donate" link in the top right corner of the page if you are using iOS or Android devices which we haven't yet fixed, as far as I can tell. Windows or Mac devices show the monthly option however. If you would like to donate monthly, and either can't figure out how to do so or don't want to use PayPal, please hit "Messages" in the top left corner, and send a request to JtC. He can send you the site's mailing address for snail mail or for setting up automatic payments through your credit union or bank. Or you can set up a calendar reminder to send in one-time donations on a monthly basis.
I know JtC is deeply moved and touched by the strong show of support this community (and our friends in Reddit world) has shown in this fundraiser. The work is just beginning, but we've made an outstanding start! Please set up your donations if you've pledged, and consider a monthly donation if you haven't pledged but can afford to support the community. And please visit to give your thoughts on how to make this blog self-sustaining. We can all learn from this weekend's shock that it takes all our efforts to keep our home and our community together. Once more to all of you, please accept my very heartfelt thanks for all your contributions, monetary and otherwise. This is the best place around because of you.
JtC's announcement yesterday that he wants to sell this website has hit me like a ton of bricks, and I'm sure I'm not alone. He has always -- since I've been here anyway -- been reluctant to ask for our financial support, as he knows so many of us can't afford to pitch in monetarily. There are many wonderful contributors of community, of smart content, of wonderful conversation. But JtC and Joe have been shouldering far too much of the burden of making the site function, and of managing the big expansion in traffic since last March. I was a part of the expansion, and while I make a small monthly donation it's clear now it isn't nearly enough.
All of us who value this community need to pitch in to keep it alive. Smart writers bring us great content. Commenters bring the site alive, and give most of us another reason to hang out here. Moderators keep the playground orderly to minimize the hair-pulling and biting. But those of us who can afford to help financially, or who can help with the back end technical work, need to step up to the best of our ability.
Today I'm offering to match any new monthly donation of $3 or more, up to $100 a month. This is on top of my current donation. If anyone else would like to contribute to this match, please let me know in the comments and I'll update this essay with credit.
Let's see what we can do together to support our host, and keep our home! Please give this essay a thumbs up, at least, so it stays visible for occasional passers-by.
Thank you for all you do, JtC. You too, Joe, and all the mods. And thank you to this wonderful group of folks who have given me a new online home!
UPDATE: enhydra lutris has offered another monthly donation match for new monthly donations in multiple of $5, up to a total of $50 a month! We have strong contributions so far, let's meet those matches!
UPDATE 2:50 MDT: We have a $50 monthly match from enhydra lutris which has been matched! We have a $50 monthly match from shaharazade which has been matched! And we have $75 in monthly matches going toward my $100 match offer! That's $350 a month in new monthly contributions in an hour and a half! I know this community can do anything when we put our minds and hearts to it. My deepest thanks to all who have donated so far, and let's keep it going! Anybody else want to offer a monthly donation match challenge?
UPDATE 4:00 MDT: davidincleveland, enhydra lutris, and shaharazade have all put in monthly donation matches of $90, $50 and $50 respectively. At this time we have $285 in other monthly donation pledges, meaning the next $5 pledge will completely match all our challenges. We have a total of $570 in monthly donation pledges as a result of this drive so far, which is UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE! You folks are the greatest! I'd also like to thank Mahakali Overdrive and the good folks at the K4S Reddit for their support and suggestions. We are part of a greater community, and that's a lesson we should never forget. All of you who have sent in one time donations, who are planning fundraising efforts in your social media circles, and who give generously of best wishes and comment contributions are the greatest! For those of you I haven't thanked personally, please know I'm filled with love and gratitude for you all!
There is some difficulty setting up monthly donations for those, like me, using iPads, but I hope to have some direction on this matter soon. Please pipe up if you can solve this one. In the meantime, let's keep the momentum going! We've made a great start in saving our online home and JtC's sanity.
UPDATE 7:45 MDT: Wow! As of this time, we have $720 in new monthly donation pledges! I couldn't be prouder of this community! I know JtC is very surprised and grateful at this show of support, and so am I. I want to thank everyone who has pledged, everyone who has expressed support, especially in our wider community at the Subreddits Kossacks4Sanders and Way of the Bern.
We have a problem in that those of us on iOS and Android devices don't have an easy option to create monthly donations through PayPal. Windows and Mac devices show this option clearly, so if you have access to a desktop or laptop computer it should be easy to fulfill a monthly donation pledge. We'll need to investigate how to create these options for those without access to a computer, however. Snail mail, repeated individual PayPal donations, and setting up monthly payments through a bank or credit union account are other options.
Please keep up the momentum, and if anyone sees this essay who hasn't yet had a chance to donate please consider doing so if you can afford it. I'll provide another update in the morning. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!
Comments
I'll contribute $5 a month.
Good Gawd, I can't lose c99. It's my oasis. I'll also throw in a one time $50 bump if the site lives. I did a $20 one time contribution in May, but I didn't know that c99 was "upside down" in terms of money or time. (By the way, you're still a mensch, DD.)*edit. To describe DD

I put up a link at r/WayoftheBern leading back here encouraging everyone who can to help. We've been encouraging cross-links, have been linking back to and from several of C99's posters (Alligator Ed and Stephen D stand out), and appreciate having C99 as a sister site.

This is an excellent start, man!
I'm writing up a bunch of stuff right now for taking this to other places, like Twitter and Facebook and such. I'm a bit waylaid because I'm babysitting my nephew, heh.
Anyway, please people, give what you can but only what you can. Please do not make yourself broke by doing so! Not everyone can afford to donate, including me, so I'm providing sweat equity.
Hee hee.
Thanks much, DD! You are the bestest and so is this website!
I miss Colorado.
Thanks for your sweat and your voice, Shiz!
If Bernie could challenge the Clinton machine with ordinary folks, I'm confident we can help JtC with what he needs.
You da best.

Count me in for $5 per month
Thank you so much, Leu2500!

Please help support caucus99percent!
I'm in for 50$ a month
I'll need to get it set up at my CU as automatic transfers are better as I'm not that great with doing consistent payments on my own. As I said in other comments today I am getting rid of several monthly automatic bank donations that I years ago set up and feel these orgs.are no longer doing much good. I think they come to 70$ per mo. and this will put me 20$ ahead. Thanks Dallas Doc for stepping up.
Outstanding, shah!
Would you like to convert that to a match, so other have a chance to double their donation?
Thank you so much for your generosity!
Please help support caucus99percent!
Sure. I'm not quite sure
what a match means? I'll be a convert if it helps gets more money into the coffers.
You basically offer to match other people's contributions.
It helps donors to see their donations double by the match. If you can contribute to the match, that lets me match others and gives you donors to double up too.
Please help support caucus99percent!
Sounds good
but somebody besides me is going to have to do the math. I'm mathematically challenged. Does this match come from the 100.00$ temporary contribution pledge I'm mailing today or does it come from my monthly one? Sorry to be so dense. The crazy thing is I'm the bookkeeper for our btob.
I'm trying to keep up with the math, in the latest update
The matches are for monthly contributions, with monthly contributions. People are being very generous with one time donations as well, but I'm focusing on reliable monthly income with this essay. You're already matched for your $50 a month!
Please help support caucus99percent!
monthly and reliable
is the best solution for Johnny and the community. There are enough of us willing to give what we can afford to make this work. Thanks again Doc your the best always have been.
oh, you really can match on a long-time period
to match other folks monthly contributions? That would be almost too good to be true.
If I were to give $30.00 a month for a year, you would match that for a year with $30.00. That would only cause me to say "Wow" and then drop my jaws in awe. I think I misunderstand you, right?
That's the way it works, mimi
I've tried to encourage people to set up recurring monthly contributions by offering to match those monthly contributions. That way their contributions are doubled. Needless to say, I'm willing to make that investment, but making my contributions contingent on others matching them helps incentivize them to contribute too.
Please help support caucus99percent!
That is incredible generous. I will make you my role model
as a "matching master".
May be another idea can be implemented, like a "shop" site? People can offer their stuff for sale in a diary format and the proceeds of those sales to go C99p. I don't know how much work that would make JtC to add to the site's pages. May be that too is too much work for too little revenue.
Also, if JtC still is reading it with regards to ads. I don't like them, but one site, truthdig, has set them up in a way that they really do not distract the reader. But again, it's a lot of work, and I fully understand that it is not worth the coding and designing effort and other work that goes into monitoring such things.
I can't offer matching right now, but if should be capable of doing I will let someone know.
I just signed up for a monthly recurring $25
C99 is fantastic and I'd hate to lose it.
Thank you so much for the contribution, Dhyerwolf!
I love your username, by the way. I will certainly match your generous contribution.
Please help support caucus99percent!
I will send a snail mail
contribution today or tomorrow as it will take a bit to get the CU end sorted out.
I've always admired you
Even more today. Thanks again.
Please help support caucus99percent!
Thank you doc...
I don't have much time to do any commenting right now, just wanted to thank you and the membership. I very much appreciate all of you.
Thank YOU!
Thanking you, and showing that thanks with help, is what this is all about. I hope this is only the start.
Please help support caucus99percent!
DD - I'll bump the matching
DD - I'll bump the matching fund up by another 50, but the match, in my case is for 5 buck multiples. That's per month, of course.

I'll update the essay with your match. If we get some odd-number matches I'll cover those and apply others to yours. Thank you more than I can say!
Please help support caucus99percent!
I can do $5 a month too
I think c99 has got something special here and it's worth investing in.
Thanks DallasDoc!
P.S. I have to dash off to work now. Will set up the payments when I get back tonight.

I can't go outside. I refuse to watch cable news. The only conversation I have had today was a lawyer calling to ask me about how to file liens to collect HOA maintenance fees.
What am I doing for fun? To further my education? To keep abreast of current events?

I will kick in $25 per month.

I just thought of the news
while offline for a while. I do not have cable and even the online news sources are dubious in most cases. Propaganda by the so called Dem. progressives. I depend on cc99% for the bulk of my news. Gjohnsit, Joe and others here do the research and cover all the news that's worth reading globally and here in der homeland. Saves me a lot of time and aggro. So If cc99% is also where you go to get something besides newspeak or propaganda it's worth paying for a place to look behind the headlines. As a bonus you get excellent analysis and discussion about what's going down and why. So in short another reason to contribute what you can.

Ok I'm in for $10 a month
Thank you for doing this Dallasdoc! I've decided to cancel two current monthly subscriptions elsewhere to cover this, as I feel that c99p is a more worthy and important cause, and I realized I can do without the other sites, but not this one.
Can someone please clarify, is PayPal the only or best way to sign up for monthly donations? Is there another way? I will do it one way or another but would rather not use PayPal unless it's the only option. Thanks!
Edited to fix typo. And I'll go ahead with using PayPal, thank you everyone who is helping keep this site afloat.
You have my gratitude, CS in AZ
I'm not sure about other options, as I use PayPal. I think JtC said they charged less off the top. But hopefully somebody will be along to explain alternatives. I think others are doing automatic payments through their banks, and there's always snail mail.
Please help support caucus99percent!
Yeah, PayPal charges less off the top -
I believe it's a flat fee per transaction (rather than a percentage of the transaction). The credit cards generally are a rip-off for those on the receiving end --
When Cicero had finished speaking, the people said “How well he spoke”.
When Demosthenes had finished speaking, the people said “Let us march”.
I went from
$10 to $20 / month, if that second $10 counts as "new".
Thanks Doc.
You are so awesome, DD.
We've been hanging for a number of years now, starting at TOP, of course. I will be setting up a $10 monthly in September. That is the earliest my situation will loosen up and allow me some wiggle room. I want my wiggle to be at c99p.
Are we getting there JtC? We can't lose your awesomeness either!

Please help support caucus99percent!
Me, as well, DD.
I look forward to your comments, which are always so insightful. I can spare $10 for now and hope to increase it in 2017. Thank you for your concern and support. It's exactly why I will make room in my budget.
Have a beautiful weekend, Doc!

Your $10 a month puts us at $175 a month in matched donations, with another $25 available for matching so far!
Please help support caucus99percent!
Great job, DD. I'm working on my essay about an organized
group. I'll probably publish it tomorrow, around Noon ET. In it I'll be upgrading my own monthly from $10 to $100, with a commitment to double it in any month the 'total kitty' falls below $4K (after we get it up to that level for 2 months in a row). This will be hooked up to my invitation for some of us to form a group. You've started that off with a bang right here; thanks, brother.
Please consider subscribing monthly, to help keep c99 going.
Outstanding generosity and creativity, my brother!
Can I include your $90 monthly increase as another matching offer? I've always found that matches help spur donations.
I very much appreciate your commitment and your generosity. And it's always a delight to run into you!
Please help support caucus99percent!
By all means include it if you like. I didn't want to strain
your generous offer here by suggesting it myself, but you're right, and we'll have to do a lot of this to get to that 4K monthly.
Please consider subscribing monthly, to help keep c99 going.
Thank you, my friend
I'll include you as a matching donation in my next hourly update. From my experience at TOP matching donations are always more successful than regular appeals. If we keep an active match going I hope we'll net more commitments.
We will need a lot more to properly support JtC and the site, so I'm grateful for your big picture idea. This site could look like PBS with periodic fund drives. Minus the Koch and other corporate support, of course.

I figure that we're a tad over 10% (last I counted), plus

hi, dallasdoc and daveincleveland,
wonderful response from all here to this diary. I just wrote a diary how I feel about some issues and I guess people won't like it too much, but then that is my honest opinion.
I was on a $10.00 schedule and have thrown in extra in the past. I will increase to $20.00 as of September.
I really, really like this community and all you do to save c99p. JtC and Joe deserve it all the way.
Thank you so much, mimi
Your generosity is wonderful, and I wouldn't want you ever to write something that wasn't completely honest. I'll go enjoy reading your thoughts.
Please help support caucus99percent!
Oh mimi
I really love reading your thoughts they are so human, so honest and from the heart. If you need time off to stop talking that's okay and maybe a good thing. I just hope you do not go away as your one of my favorite posters here. Your voice is appreciated. If it's to painful like it gets for me too, take your time and lurk and read. I too spend way to much time online and yet I want this place to thrive and continue to be a place where people can feel free to open up and voice what's in their hearts and minds. XXXOOO
thx, Shaharazade, I love the site and the people,
when I asked JtC to help me stopping to comment it was not because I don't love the posters and site here, it was because I love them and the site too much. Just to clear this up.
I guess you wouldn't like my ideas I posted in my diary? It's too much to accept for everyone here. Anyhow I continue to believe it's necessary to have a group of people who can guarantee to pay a fee that covers a salary for JtC at least. I do not think of it as money is speech, if the fee is as low as $3.00 a month (or why not $2.00 a month).
I know a couple of people who are poor, they all make sure their kids can go to the library and read. They pay for the library card.
Thanks, Mimi, I always enjoy your contributions. Your point of
view and your honesty always add a new dimension of thoughtfulness for me.

in for $10 a month for the magic.
Donated $35
Via PayPal but did not see any way to "make it monthly" -- which is my intention. That was the monthly Bernie donation.
Anybody know what magic button to push at PayPal to create a recurrent donation? If memory serves, it was Bernie's own site that offered that monthly option -- not PayPal. Thanks in advance for good advice.

Maybe others can help if you're not seeing it? I very much appreciate your generosity!
Please help support caucus99percent!
Same here, I just went to PayPal to set it up and
there was no "make it monthly" option, even though I remember seeing it there before. Maybe because the last two times I donated to this site I didn't select the monthly option?
I dunno, I've never used PayPal before and the only reason I made an account there previously was to donate to this site, so I'm not familiar with how it works. Anyway I sent $10.00 today, and am going to make it a monthly thing either on PayPal or via some other method.
There's a check box to the right of the box for the amount
That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --
I found it by using my desktop computer instead
Before I was on my iPad and there was no checkbox to make it monthly. So I got the bright idea to log in on my desktop computer, then clicked the donate button again and viola! Now when it opens PayPal, the monthly checkbox was there! So I tossed another $10, and this time made it monthly.
thanks for the tip....
Will use laptop instead of iPad next time.

I'm in for $5 a month but can't start now because I can't cover
it until September and it has to be done on the 3rd of each month, the day I get my SS. Not before or after.

I Wish I could Help
unfortunately the medical bills are starting to come in for the 5 day hospital stay for pneumonia and I am juggling like crazy to get bills paid. My 20 year old grandnephew is living with us for a while helping out so I don't have another stress blackout from 24/7 caregiving. That means our food bill is doubled as a growing boy needs food. His folks are barely scraping by and almost lost their home so I can't ask my niece to help out.
If I can get the bills under control I'll try and contribute a little something each month. It is the best I can do right now other than reposting the Street Prophets diaries.
BTW my diary on Cajun cooking here got me a recipe from Paul Prudhomme's brother. I had a jerk at TOP accuse me of being a fraud and stealing Cajun heritage because I posted Cajun inspired recipes.
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. Oscar Wilde
I love your diaries!
Hopefully once we get the funding for this place on a good road we can have a fundraiser to help you. I see all too often how medical bills impoverish people. Please be well, and come to us for help soon.
Please help support caucus99percent!
