Election Fundraising XKCD Style
Sean Tevis is running for state representative in Kansas because his current rep is, well, kinda awful (in his opinion, at least). He’s not a rich guy, a career politician, or someone with name recognition. He’s just a dude who wants to make a difference… who also happens to be funny as hell. Read this comic he drew, XKCD style, about why you should donate to his campaign. He needs $26,000 by July 28th. If 3000 people donate $8.34, he’ll reach that goal. I just donated $16.68 because that comic is made of win, and so is Sean.
Just read the comic. I dare you not to smile and, when you reach the end, to maybe plunk 8 bucks and change in his donation box.

weird, it’s working for me
It was having problems the first time I looked at it (possibly because of the number of people visiting?), but it’s gotten back up to speed since then. I threw $10 at it.
[...] When I posted about that guy around noon yesterday he had about 1400 donors tallied. When I checked at 1am, he had 2,894. [...]
It’s up to 4101 as of this time stamp (counting me, now). Thanks so much for the heads-up. Great comic.
