David Codrea (thank you, David) looked into various fundraising sites, but after seeing their hoops and the cuts they take, he says let’s keep it simple. We need to give back to Mike Vanderboegh in his last months on earth and the simple way is the fastest and least overheady.
Here’s David’s appeal and donation link. Or you can go directly to Sipsey Street and scroll down just a hair to find Mike’s own donation button and snailing address.
Mike has been tireless in the cause of gun rights and freedom, even when he was desperately ill. Without him and David, the Fast & Furious scandal might never have been exposed. Without Mike, the meme and identity of the III Percent wouldn’t exist. Mike has been tough, straightforward, always there, and always honorable.
The freedom movement owes Mike more than can ever be repaid, and we now have just this short time to pay it — and to help Mike and Rosey with house projects, freedom projects, and medical bills.
It’s as simple as ABC:
A. Donate.
B. Spread the word via your blogs, email lists, and forums.
C. Thank you.
Thank you for your leadership, Claire, in this and much more.
Me? Thank you, David. But you’re the one who jumped in to get it done. I just followed.
The money raised will be wonderful, of course, but I hope plenty of people who have the time and opportunity will actually help Mike physically with his home repair as well. Once all the bills are paid, Rosey might not have enough to get them done. And I suspect she’d never ask for help herself.
Would it not be better to donate to his wife ?
Thank You Claire for furthering this “operation”(?).
I am putting a gift in the mail on the morrow.
Would that I could afford to be more helpful.
I also wish I had the means to get to Pinson to be physically helpful as well.

stay safe,

I’ll send a bit as able.
Thank you all! And Gus, by all means feel free to donate to Rosey, either while Mike’s still with us or later. I’m sure any money that comes to the Vanderboeghs will benefit them both. And while the PayPal button goes to an account in Mike’s name, the snailing address could easily be used to address an envelope to Rosey.
