Thread: A penny for your thoughts

    Default A penny for your thoughts

    Most of my time in the movement has been spent raising funds for White Nationalist causes. And I must say that I've never been pleased by the manner in which most White Nationalists respond to that trumpet's call. Ask for money from most, and they begin to look nervously in other directions, begin to look for reasons to not donate, rather than finding reasons to donate.

    Of course there are those who cannot legitimately lend financial support: long-term unemployed, the disabled, those living on fixed incomes. But what about the 60% who do not fit into any of those categories. Why the vise-like grip on their wallets?

    I'm of the opinion that this movement will go nowhere without financial backing. From what I've seen in that regard, the future does not look bright.

    If we truly believe that our future is in doubt, truly believe that it's all coming down around our shoulders, why do we not offer financial support to those who are trying to lead us, to those who, in many instances, have spent their entire adult lives steeped in the cause?

    I can well understand WILBUR'S frustration.


    I think that we as party members, have to make a commitment and say to ourselves, that we are going to support our party to the best of our ability. No one expects anyone to forego their utility bill, or starve, in order to give financial assistance to our party. But each party member and supporter must give what they can, when they can if they expect to see the sort of progress we need to see in our new political party.
    There are those who might not want to put any more dept on their credit card. That's OK. Than send it by check or money order. Send it by 'snail mail', but for the sake of our party and the future of our people and country, SEND IT!

    I have often found myself thinking of the many very large and apparently wealthy churches around the nation , those nice buildings and the youth programs, and even expensive missions overseas, that have all been made possible because people gave to them. Many of them very generously. But just as importantly, it was the result of many people putting in a modest few dollars or cents into a collection plate, and doing so as often possible. And they do it gladly because they're investing in something they believe in.
    It is just this sort of mentality that we of the A3P must acquire in supporting our party, because we know, that it is THIS party and this party alone that represents the only real hope for change. Our hopes, our dreams, a better future for generations to come. Are these not worth investing in?
    Think of all of the money one often spends frivolously on things we could do well without. And think of what that same amount of money could mean in furthering our political agenda in this country.
    There are no sure things in life, and for me to say otherwise would be a lie! But if we are to make this party work, we have got to invest in what we believe in, and if in the end it doesn't 'pan out', than at least WE tried to do something, as opposed to doing nothing. And for us to know that every cent we contributed went for a good and noble cause, and that we should never have any regrets whatever the outcome.
    But I'm confident that this parties going to grow and make that difference. The 'people' are sick and tired of what's going on right up under their noses. The illigal immigration, the multiculturalism, the social decay.

    When you think of all the massive political movements in history, the Russian Revolution , Germany's National Socialist revolution, or even the existing political parties we have in Washington today, and you think of all the massive amounts of literature, flags, buttons, rallies and propaganda of all sorts that have made it all happen, you must also think of the millions of dollars or their equivalent that was necessary. Unfortunately, passion for what we believe in just isn't enough.
    For the time being our progress must be measured by those monies coming from the grass roots, our members and our individual supporters. But as time goes on, as we attract more attention, our financial strength will grow exponentially as we attract contributions from wealthy members and supporters , businesses, corporations, just as the liberal agenda do now, but we must never lose sight that we are a grass-root political party of the people.

    So I say, focus your commitment on the A3P and its associated organizations, and please try to give just as you would give to your church, or your favorite charity, and know that you will be making a difference!

    We can always take some literature and a collection plate to Pulaski, TN during the European-American Heritage Festival this October 22nd. We can also sponsor local heritage events too. If you know of other events related to our heritage we can share them here and all go to help spread the word each and every time.

    This despondency is nothing new. Harry Bertram's first local run years ago I sent $15 or $35 after reading about his candidacy in the Nationalist Times. In the next month's issue Mr.Wassall reported only two or three people donated.

    This was a better result than a few years later when a Constitution Party member in NJ was running for congress. Mind you, that the CP claims to be the nation's third largest party. I contributed $50, and as with Mr.Bertram received a gracious letter of thanks. However, this letter was more despondent. The letter said, "Thank you for the contribution (he also sent some campaign lit and a dvd), surprisingly though you are the only person who has sent a contribution so far."

    This was three months from election day.

    Congratulations to Harry Bertram for making the ballot and the A3P's effort. A special thanks goes out to the young man who Jamie Kelso has mentioned as the spearhead of the siganature drive.

    A donation of $150 each to the A3P and Bertram for Governor is accompanying this post. Make us proud in October Harry!

    But why, why the parsimony? Many years ago, I worked with a Brit who was soon to return to his native land, he so dissatisfied with life in America. He claimed the American motto was, "F...Y..., Jack, I'm alright." Meaning the typical American cared only for his immediate welfare, couldn't care less about extending himself beyond his own immediate needs.

    Somehow ironic that for the past several days the Brits have been rioting in London's streets. 1/2 million Brits in the streets, not in the streets over the fact their nation is being invaded by hordes of Muslims of various stripes, but in the streets because their pensions are being messed with by the government.
