oreilly-sucks.com Needs Your Help !

[stewert]

OK lounge lizards, I need some donations to keep exposing O'Reilly and Bush as the lying spinning crooks
they are.

My goal is 50 donations by 12-1-03, as of today I have about 20 or maybe 25, it's up to you to help me
reach my goal.

--------

I have a serious problem, as you know I own and run www.oreilly-sucks.com. The problem I have is I am
not getting enough in donations to pay for my website and internet fees. For anyone that may not know,
I started the oreilly-sucks website on 8-26-01 after someone here said it would be a good idea. The guy
who suggested it then sent me $150 to get the website started in 2001.

I have been running it now for over 2 years and I do not make a dime for doing it. I have no sponsors or
advertisers, I am the only employee and I fund it with donations. In fact I just started taking donations
in march of this year because I was using more than the free bandwidth I get from my web host. My hits
have increased from 3000 a month to 30,000 a month in the last 10 months or so. And whenever O'Reilly
says or does something stupid my hits explode. this happened last month after the NPR interview, I got
over 8,000 hits in 2 days, it basically used 15 days bandwidth in 2 days. I normally get 800 to 1000 hits
a day.

I am currently using almost double the free bandwidth I get. When the extra 6 month supply of
bandwidth I have runs out I will not be able to buy a new 6 month supply of extra bandwidth because I
am as broke as broke can get. What makes it worse is my web host makes you buy bandwidth 6 months
at a time. And if I need to upgrade it during that time I have to buy 6 more months of bandwidth. Then
they credit me the difference for the months I have not used, but I do have to buy the upgrade or the
website goes offline until the 1st of the next month. This happened in october, I ran out of bandwidth on
the 17th of the month. I did not have the money to buy the bandwidth upgrade I needed so the website
was offline for 14 days until 11-01-03.

Basically I need to generate some donations to keep the website online. I only get 1 or 2 donations
every 3 or 4 months, and sometimes I go 2 or 3 months with no donations at all. The average donation
is about $5 to $20 dollars. As of today I need a minimum of $150 every 6 months to pay my expenses.

I live with my retired father who is on a fixed income, and he can no longer afford to pay for any of my
internet expenses. So right now I am up a creek without a paddle. I sure don't expect 1000 DUers to
donate to my website like they did here, but if just 50 people donated $10 each it would give me $500
dollars to work with.

I also have two Al Franken books to give away with a donation, and one Peter Hart (fair.org) book called
the ohreally factor to give away with a donation. All the information is on the donation page. People
send me liberal books and I offer them for sale with a donation.

So please donate if you can, every little bit helps.
