We just crossed $3mil this morning and are picking up steam. If you haven't taken a look yet, please do. If you haven't bought fireworks yet, consider putting your money towards this cause instead of handing it over to China for mini-splosions. wink

If you don't trust Woz, here is a link to a their media exposure page. As you can see ...it's an extensive list.

Cheers!

Hope you decide to help!

Sounds like a great movement. I will look into it. The OS analogy in the video was dubious though. wink

HAHA ...just had to post the Woz here. wink The best interview I've seen was from Ezra Klein on Vox.com. (man I love that site) link-o

The plan is detailed here.

Also just want to note that if we don't make it to 5mil, your pledge is returned (unless you designate otherwise)

Thanks for looking into it. If nothing else, give it a shoutout on your social media.

Cheers!

Interesting idea -- it's worth a contribution to see what actually happens (if anything ;-). So ya got some of my money ;-)

Rock on! I'm really curious to see if it's possible. Still a LONG way to go. The more I dig into the backstory of Lessig and Arron Schwartz, the more vocal I've become. This is actually the first campaign I've spent any $ to support. I'm not usually one who parts with my money easily.

They do -- hit the "Pledge Now' butan, then select an amount and there's a huge honkin' PayPal button there ...

Be aware that pledges made through Pay Pal are permanent (I.e. if they don't meet their goal, you'll still be charged -- fair warning) ...

That is one horrible design for a payment page.
In Safari you get the fields to fill out and then a Payment button below... with a paragraph under that before you even get to the Paypal button.
I filled out the fields and hit the payment button.. never guessing there would be an alternate payment button waaay below.
I missed it 3 times... even after you told me. They might have more money if it was more prominent.
I got the CC part and bailed... didn't feel like going to get my wallet and punching all those numbers. Paypal is jusy so... easy.



Anyways... donation complete!
Happy 4th!

It didn't always look like that. They redesigned it with the little amount buttons just a couple days ago. Anywho, happy Independence Day!
