UPDATE:<\/strong><\/strong> FIVE donors have sent enough to cover 15 new gift memberships! Thank you, MS, JS, SL, JW, and FT. \ud83d\ude42 I’ve extended offers to five likely recipients and hope to hear from others who are interested in joining the Cabal but not able to afford membership on their own. We’ll “bank” any excess funds to help others who come along or to provide renewals for those who can’t afford them.<\/p>\n

Within minutes earlier today two Commentariat members offered to buy gift memberships to the new Cabal<\/a> for dedicated freedomistas who can’t spare the cash.<\/p>\n

And they weren’t the first to make such pay-it-forward offers. (I knew you guys were cool.)<\/p>\n

So let’s do this. While the full-price of a three-month membership is $35, I’ll give the same deal I did during the fundraiser, but with a twist: $20 buys a three-month membership for someone other than yourself<\/strong><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I’m not putting the donation button back up.<\/del> If you want to help a poor-but-deserving freedomista by giving him or her a Cabal membership, go to your PayPal account and use the Send money –> Friends & family option to send $20 to paypal-at-hermit-dot-cotse-dot-net<\/strong><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

OR if you don’t have a PayPal account, you can still donate via credit card using the button below. This donation button, which I swore<\/em> I wouldn’t put up again, will be here for a limited time and for this one limited purpose.<\/p>\n

I already know of three who’d like, but can’t afford, memberships (MR, ML, and G). If you’re in the same boat, just speak up in comments or email me if you’ve got my addy. Every $20 that comes in will buy a gift membership.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

If it turns out we have more donations than people needing them, I’ll keep a tally here and at the Cabal and we’ll create a “bank account” for sharing with others over time. The money can be used for initial memberships or for renewals by people who couldn’t otherwise afford them.<\/p>\n

How’s that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
