I've been lurking on this forum since a little after reddit went down. I was a 4chan regular as well. I slowly have moved from interest to outrage to determination. I was really inspired by the efforts of people who literally have nothing to gain. I wasnt satisfied by posting and phone calls. I am a veteran, in my life when you fight sonething you wake up early and put your boots on and go to work. It got ro the point where i couldnt sleep. I was abused myself and i started to have nightmares about whats happening to these kids...So... about 3 weeks ago I sold off my stuff gave the rest to friends and left home. I've been traveling via my feet and public transport. I'm printing fliers and tagging and talking to groups. Been reaching out hard to churches (a certain portion of Christians seem to know about this already) and my fellow vets.
I'm kind of sending up a signal flare here. I'm very limited in finances. I have my vet benefits, I've been using that to fund the endeavor but My ability to make flyers and travel is limited. I just want to keep going. I'm willing to sleep on the ground, I'm willing to eat trail mix for meals I don't care. I went through way worse in the service.
You can look at my Facebook for verification that I am real and that I have been posting about pizzagate. You can also see that it has damaged my business and lost me a bunch of friends. I'm still at it.

I'm asking for your support. Anything you can spare (even just encouragement) my end goal is to have a public presence at the inauguration. I feel we have to be there. People need to see that this won't go away.
Thank you to everyone here that gives their time and effort to this cause. You guys and girls inspire the he'll out of me
Here is the gofundme page I set up.

hey mate.
Let's say first I suspend any disbelief for now, you know we have issues with shills here.
You are doing good work, and you being a veteran is a valuable asset you can utilize to further our causes.
Strategically activating 2 groups of civilians is very valuable, because they have traditionally a strong voice in the american public: veterans and moms
Don't get me wrong, most politicians won't give a fuck but those are not the people we try to impress, servericemen are for the most held in a very high regard in the USA, considering this country is a giant warmachine; and everybody can relate to Moms - mothers fighting for their children are dangerous, and can reach a critical mass surprisingly fast.
Therefore we have to focus to get this rolling, and you are in a premium position to do this. Moms are not on voat, but Moms will listen to a vet, and Moms talk with Moms. You have to get the ball rolling. Ideas spread like diseases, think of how you can infect as many towns and communities as you can.
That brings me to my next point: Your current gofundme will most likely not blow up. You already showed way more dedication than most people and reprioritized your life onto this, so it is important to appropriately show your cause here to get the resources you need to roll. Because if you are who you say and are 100% determined to be one of the heroes stepping up physically, you are one of our most valuable assets.
You obviously have internet access, that means you have a laptop or phone, that means you can make a video.
Tell your story in video and I bet you have way way better chances of getting the trust of this board and donations
sincerly, Cass

I put up a public video on my Facebook feed talking about how I got involved and what I'm doing. I'd appreciate any feedback you can give. You can also see the posts where I sell off my remaining gear and my peers wish me goodbye from the industry. I hope that lends some credibility. My goal here is to be a physical instrument of the user group here. You guys often have better ideas than I could come up with.

That's nice but I can't see it without a facebook account.
I was talking about a directly watchable video linked in the description of the gofundme campaign and your startpost here, rule 1 in business: dont make it hard for people to give you money; currently you have too many obstacles for people to get to the conclusion you being legit.
If you do that it would help tremendously, we'd be able to spread the word around way easier.
https://vid.me/ is an alternative to youtube you might want to consider, if you dont want to use youtube

I just put the same video I posted to Facebook into an update on the gofundme. Thanks for the tips I'm new at this and really appreciate the guidance. Maybe if I posted recipts and showed people how the money was being spent too? I want to start a shwag campaign. Use concert promoter tactics. Pizzagate lighters and bottle openers. Something that you would want to keep. Scatter them at sporting events. Something cheap to produce but with greater physical persistence then a tag. I have been using glow in the dark paint. That way it's hard to see what I'm doing initially but the night reveals the message.

Yes, you are going into the right direction with your thoughts. What people want is what they dont get from the Mainstream Media, honesty, information, transparency. Not being lied to anymore and being sold and betrayed.
If you can gain their trust, you have won your battle for financing your causes.
I shoot you a pm
