Image
Edz at the 2016 DNC in Philadelphia I don't usually ask friends for money on the Internet -- unless it's to purchase lottery tickets  -- but Edz and I are hoping to attend the Democratic National Convention this year and flights and hotels in Chicago are expensive. Would you be willing to donate $10 to support our participation?  We can accept donations via PayPal , Venmo , and CashApp .  To show our gratitude, I'll send everyone who donates at least $10 one of these limited edition retro Northern Mariana Islands donkey buttons.  The logo is from my run for Saipan mayor  in 2009, and features a donkey wearing a mwaar.   Everyone who donates $10 will receive one of these limited edition buttons Please make the donation using one of the apps listed above and then send me an email with your physical mailing address at angelovillagomez at gmail dot com.  I'll send you a button in the mail.

Angelo's Rules for Lottery Pools

These rules apply for both Powerball and Mega Millions. 1. It's $10 to buy into the pool. Tickets are $2 each, so I will purchase 5 tickets with your money.  By sending me money, you agree to all of these rules.  And don't say the money is for gambling -- the apps can cancel your account for doing that -- say you're sending me money for beer. 2. You can buy in at multiples of $10.  Each $10 will count as one share.  Make sure you send me your email address so I can send you confirmation. 3.

Welcome to the first post on my personal webpage. Last year I challenged all of conservation Twitter to an online lovefest called the Earth Month Hero Challenge.  I think we need to do it again.  We could all use a virtual group hug. Let me explain. Earth Day is April 22, which makes next month Earth Month. I’d like to invite you to participate in a Twitter hashtag campaign for the entire month. The purpose of this campaign is to bring some attention and praise to the people who are doing great conservation work. I’m calling the campaign #30EarthMonthHeroes. Participation is easy. STEP ONE Starting on April 1, post a tweet about someone who you think is doing great work to protect the Earth or the Ocean, either someone...
