Hey folks,
I've only heard from four of you pledging $80 total! Please contact me with your pledge today. I need to get back with ARI by Monday if we are going to get him here.
Please email me with your pledge. ([address removed]) Please put "Andrew Bernstein Lecture Donations" in the subject line to help me keep count.

Previous email:
I've been talking to Andrew Bernstein recently to get him here for a talk. He has recently published a new book Capitalist Solutions: A Philosophy of American Moral Dilemmas. He is scheduled to be in Austin on the 11th for a talk on Abortion. We've agreed that Tuesday, April 10 would be a good day to visit us. The talk will be on Capitalist Solutions, plus there will be a Q&A and a book signing afterwards.
I will be inviting all the local Tea Party groups to join us.
I need to pay him, so I need donations. If all 67 of us donate, I'd need about $15 each. That's doubtful.. I'll choose low and say 15 people will pledge. Can you donate $65? If not, please pledge $20. I have Paypal to make it easy.
Please email [[address removed]] me how much you are willing to donate. Please put "Andrew Bernstein Lecture Donations" in the subject line to help me keep count. Once I get a tally, I'll email out if we need more or less.
Also, can anyone suggest a venue? Right now I'm thinking only to rent a small conference room in a hotel. I've called a couple fancy hotels and they rent rooms for about $400. I'd love suggestions to get something cheaper.
Later,
Keenan
