Daisy and I want you all to know how absolutely BLOWN AWAY we’ve been by some of the messages we’ve received from those of you who have found it in your hearts and pocketbooks to help contribute to our CCC (Chicks CPAC Cause). We are getting closer to our goal thanks to your support! I wanted to share with you the kindness of strangers, because for the most part, our donors HAVE been strangers to us – people we’ve never met, but who have been impacted in at least a small way by the work we put into this site. I just don’t think I can adequately express what these notes of encouragement mean to us.
Some of these you may have read from our initial “We’re not above begging” post, but others have come via email. They have ALL given us the weepy glees, and we wanted to invite you all to share in our gleeification.
“Happy to help, you ladies ROCK!! I always look forward to your posting on Facebook!!”
“Being I do NOT use the computer to donate or make purchases . . . and I would like to send a few bucks your way (CPAC venture), please send a snail-mail address my way! Read your info daily – some days often. Appreciate all the work you gals do! I, too, don’t want this wonderful country to go down the “crapper” . . . we are being counted on to prevent that from happening and we MUST do our best! Have a great time at the convention . . . will look forward to seeing what you gals send our way afterwards!”
“My first time to send $ this way and it was fun. Not much but every little bit counts and hopefully you gals will get there and speak for all us Chicks!”
“Daisy and Mock – let me start by saying - LOVE THE website, Facebook page, whole conservative makeover concept! Great job! Trying to donate $$$ – What email address do you want the donations sent to?”
“Okey Dokey, friends: I have just decided to give up my daily Starbucks for 2 WEEKS and donate the Grande Non-fat 6 Pump with Whip White Mocha $$ to CCC. That will be at least $50 bucks if I just count work days–$70 if I count weekends!! I’ve been fortunate enough in my Conservative Days to attend several National Republican Conventions, National Federation of Republican Women Conventions, lots of campaign schools, etc. Word up Hoosier Women: We’ve talked for years that we need “fresh legs” out there spreading the word for us cuz our legs are tired! Mock and Daisy are the go-to gals we’ve waited for! So, my challenge is on: let’s get these Chicks to D.C. We old Broads (er, Mama Chicks) need to make this happen…..”
“Daisy and Mock provide this service to us free every day. And, personally, I appreciate it. Thank you, ladies! We all have to do some “fundraising” in our lives at some point. Whether it’s to get the little league team to Cooperstown, Girl Scouts to their campout, first graders to the zoo field trip, our candidate into office, or our voice via COTR to be heard loud and clear and known nationally, it needs to be done! If only 5% of the COTR FB fans (600 out of the 12,000+) gave $10, there’s $6000. Come on ladies! Let’s help the girls out!! Thanks for all your hard work, Daisy and Mock!”
“Frequent visitor and occasional poster here. Yes, you MUST go and be our eyes and ears! Two years ago I would have thought something like that would be near torture, but it sounds awesome – what a line up. I just wrote myself a postie note to remind me to donate — I will, promise.”
“I think it is important for you to attend at least one CPAC convention. I have been once, and it is quite the event. I will donate. I have been behind on that front anyway so this is perfect timing.”
“Chicks – I wish I could go too. But, alas, I have to stay home with my three boys. (5, 4, 3 years old). but I will donate because I KNOW you will return with lots of fun posts. Also… I need you to be my eyes! I LOVE your message of conservatism and I LOVE how you report the news with the proper amount of snark. I am… well… I’m just in LOVE with COTR! LOL…. So… I will send you some cash via paypal and anxiously await the wonderful stories you will post.”
“Although I’m a (semi) starving college student, I generally have a little discretionary money left each paycheck. Normally I would buy a pair of shoes or something equally frivolous, but for a worthy cause such as sending you Chicks to CPAC, my wardrobe can wait. If you promise to post some awesome pictures (hopefully including a Chris Christie face-smash), you can count on something from me this Friday! ”
And now for my MOST favorite of all – the one which totally sent me over the edge of glees straight into good old fashioned weeps:
“I would first like to say I read your website COTR regularly and think you and Daisy do an awesome job of posting stories that us simpletons in flyover country can follow and keep informed with and of course still be a little entertained with the “snarky” disposition. I also believe you and Daisy definitely deserve to go to CPAC in Feb, and would like to help. As promised in an earlier email (I’m conservative we keep those), here is the money order for your CPAC trip. I will see if I can help round up a little more from friends and other family members. My son is ten and he said he will send you $5.00 of his b-day money too. Quote from him: “Dad, I will send them $5.00 of my birthday money to help, because I know they are trying to help save my country from Obama too!” Most of my family is ex-service members as well as myself. We all know what it takes to sacrifice a little bit of ourselves for the greater good of the Country. Both of my parents are now retired and on a fixed income but they still wanted to give a little. I hope what little we can do will help you out somewhat. I wish we could give a little more but times are hard for most of us as you already know. Most of us contribute to campaigns as well (conservative TEA party candidates) even if they are not our representatives. We are not a wealthy family so we must spend wisely. I hope this helps a little anyway. Tell your husband that there are people out there who appreciate what your site bring to us and thank him for his time without you, while you help us all pursue the American Dream once again. Kiss Mini-Mock for us from our family. Have a great day and thanks for being a GREAT American!”
BLOWN AWAY, you guys. Thanks SO MUCH to those of you who have already contributed and who intend to contribute. Your enthusiasm is precisely what makes us want to keep doing this!! 
WE LOVE OUR CLEVER AND COMPETENT READERS!!!
