Hi Rob and All,
Here is another charity for your consideration. The Rubber Ducky
Derby www.rubberduckyderby.org is an annual nationwide event
benefiting Childrens' Hospitals Foundations. Any group can have a
Derby anywhere. To learn more you can go to Oakland Children's
Hospital Branches Foundation, or the rubberduckyderby website. At the
website you can adopt a rubber ducky for $10.00 or several for
whatever amount you can give. Your ducky is given a number and will
compete at the Derby. The local Derby I signed up for is July 13,
2008, Oak Hill Park, Danville, CA
If you want your ducky to swim in the website's pond, you can make one
up by going to www.rubberduckyderby/avatar. Mine is named Liberty Belle.
Hope you won't think this is too lame, since it benefits a lot of kids
who really need our private help.
Regards,
Marcy
It sounds good to me. You know, we approved Michael's program for the
website, but we never came up with a format for the web page. Perhaps
we could get past some of the objections to some of the charities if we
did it this way:
"The Libertarian Party supports privately-managed market-oriented
solutions instead of government programs to address problems in
society. To that end, we provide the following list of charities and
other private organizations, along with the names of those LPSF members
who endorse the organization as a more Libertarian solution than
big-government alternatives."
Then, we just basically have a table, where the first column is the name
of an organization, with a link to their website, the second column is a
brief description (including why it's better than the government
version), and the third column is the list of LPSF members who endorse it.
Would this help us get a longer list of organizations without implying
that all of us support each of these organizations?
Bryce, does this format make sense?
Do others have input?
Thanks,
Rob
