E-mail me for sneak peak tonight. 1. PLEDGES: all but one person has made good on their pledge. Thank you. That one person can honor their pledge using a credit card, visiting PayPal.com and sending $125 to objective1@aol.com or by mailing a check to: Freestar Media LLC, 8442 Limerick Avenue, Winnetka, CA 91306-1521 2. SNEAK PEAK/PROOFREADING: E-mail me at objective1@aol.com and cc me at logan@freestarmedia.com put AYN RAND survey in subject. I'll reply with a copy of the press release that I plan on sending out tomorrow morning (Tuesday 10/16/07). Help me catch typos. Offer your suggestions for improvement of the press release. 3. WAY TO SELF-FUND NEXT YEAR'S SURVEY. I might be able to fund next year's survey by selling this year's full poll report (filled with valuable demographic information about Atlas readers) to interested parties. This way I won't have to panhandle you again next year. (Objectivist-beggar doesn't go well.) I want to make sure everyone is ok with this idea. I realize that some might have an objection to this. However, it helps Freestar continue the work of spreading objectivism. Your donation provided the starter fuel to get the engine going. I couldn't have afforded $1,000 out of my own pocket right now. I'm tapped out making my movies. I can sell the demographic info for less than it would cost them to do themselves. So it's a win-win-win (they get info cheap--I fund next years poll--your dollars started a chain reaction of polling). Are you ok with this? Thanks for making this pledge a success. Logan Darrow Clements http://www.pledgebank.com/AynRandSurvey#comment_1783123 UPDATE: Our polling question is "Have you read the book Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand?". Pledge typo: "10/8 survey" should say 10/10 survey". Also, the contract I received from Zogby states they will survey 1,000 people (not 1,200) but if memory serves me right, from my college statistics class, I think 1,000 is enough. Translation: surveying only 1,000 people will tell you the truth about 300 million Americans with a high degree of accuracy. http://www.pledgebank.com/AynRandSurvey#comment_1777233 If you sign up please also e-mail me at objective1@aol.com and in the subject line put "AYN RAND SURVEY". Include your phone number. Thanks. Otherwise PledgeBank makes it hard for me to communicate with my fellow pledgers.
