One Week - One Thousand Dollars

Announcing: an on-line fundraiser

The goal: raise $1,000 for my campaign for state representative in one week.

The method: an appeal to the readers of my blog, my followers on Twitter, and my friends on Facebook. You all know what I am trying to do. I cannot do it alone. I believe that this effort is worthwhile, but the effort will fail without your support.

I'm asking for a donation of a mere $10.00. If you can't afford $10, then leave $5. If you can't afford $5, then we'll say a prayer for you.

So just click the Donation button below, and make a donation.

My opponent was the swing vote in committee on the Illinois FOCA bill. When that bill went to the house floor, the entire pro-life movement in Illinois went on red-alert. There were demonstrations, videos, town meetings, prayer vigils, letter-writing campaigns, phone campaigns, and all the rest. The bill, which initially had much support in the House and many co-sponsors, lost support until it was determined that it would not be called for a vote.

How much easier would it have been for us all to have defeated it in committee, with a Republican representative who votes with the pro-life GOP platform?

$10 is a small enough contribution. But if it's too much, leave $5.

If half the people who have told me that they wished they lived in the district in order to vote for me were to contribute, this would be a piece of cake. Well, don't let not living in the district stop you. My opponent gets large amounts in contributions from out of the district, and even out of state.

Many hands make light work. I need your help, even if it's just a little.

If you're not comfortable using Paypal, mail a check to: Committee to Elect Paul Mitchell, P.O. Box 153, Grayslake, IL 60030. (But email me to let me know it's coming.)

We have complained that the Republican Party is not a pro-life party. We have complained about RINOs. We have lamented pro-abortion Catholic politicians. This is a chance to address all of those things. I cannot do it alone. But we can do it together.
