Are you one of the eight?

There’s one last, special chance and only one way you can still join the Downsize DC “Refounders-2016” committee. So read on to learn the only way you can get your name on this historic list.

Also, in a moment, I’m going to share with you the finalized Refounders-2016 committee listing.

This is our “final report” on the capitalization stage for our new Engage system. In nine messages over the course of September, we…

  • covered how this fresh system would deliver 16 new benefits to you, the Downsize DC Army.
  • explained how it would save us significant money on maintenance, freeing up resources to focus even more on bills like the One Subject at a Time Act.

We started out needing to raise $38,000. Our recurring pledgers were joined by others so that over 320 people donated. Most of them are listed below. Some preferred anonymity.

As a result, we finished off this fundraising campaign just…

$697 short.

$38,000 is a lot of money. Perry, I, and the rest of our team are so grateful to each of you for the confidence you’ve invested in us.

As for the $697… This tiny shortfall happened because we came up short on our new monthly pledgers goal. We needed only eight more new credit-card pledgers. That is…

If eight more people had given $8 with a credit card pledge, we would’ve made our goal.

Therefore…

…shall be included in the Refounders-2016 list.

That’s right. There are only eight “special slots” left and when they’re gone, they’re gone.

We look forward to giving our Refounders, including these eight new pledgers, a “sneak peek” of the pictures of the new website. It looks great. And that should happen in just a few days.

Below my signature, please review the list of wonderful people who are making the new DownsizeDC.org Engage system possible.

Thank you for your support,

Jim Babka
