Folks - if you have not yet even made a $10 contribution to our texas campaign, please do so no matter what state you hail from - the Texas legislature meets in january and we want those legislators from South of Austin driving past this bill board every day!

Your member status will be upgraded once you donate - please donate at http://www.opencarry.org/billboard.htmltoday.

The bill boards are key to generating publicity and educating the public.

Drive time might not be the best, depending on many conditions, sometimes ROS (run of schedule) is better, not the least because it's usually the lowest thing on the rate card. Is there a donation program for radio ads?

Ten bucks really isn't that much folks. Skip 1 and a half fast food meals in a month!

Also, OCDO has a facebook. If you are on facebook add them then invite everybody you know to add them!!! It's an easy way to garner support and let people know about this!

No. Not to my knowledge... I just did it because my PayPal account is in my business name and not my personal e-mail.... I donated last month also, and my 'status is still just 'member'; not that big a deal as I know that there are bigger things to do than change member's 'statuss', but when they get around to that they won't see any donations from 'me' to verify my donations.....

Yeah, good point. When I donated, there was no mechanism by which to specify that the donation was from "DrMark."

Thanks! John Pierce will update your member status soon - He looks at the paypal data for your OCDO registered email address - if he cannot find that, then he has to track you donw somehow, not sure, but send him an email or PM and transaction number if your status is not updated within 48 hours of any qualifying contribution.

If just half of OCDO's members gave $10 a month could you imagine how much trouble we could stir up?:cool:

John and I would have the Good Year Blimp over Dallas right now with the Lori Banner flyin' high!

Thanks, I figured that that was the case, and like I said, the donation is the important part, NOT my 'status'!!!

Keep Them Billboards, Interviews, one on ones, etc going!!!!
