This project is about challenging the establishment and voting with our wallets. I spend a lot of time attacking our broken & corrupt political system, but I think if we as individuals can get excited about small, easy ways to rebuild the economy from the ground up, we'll accomplish our goal much more quickly.
How do we do this? Be an entrepreneur, or support innovative entrepreneurs whose values are consistent with yours.
Vote with your wallet.
Think about who you're supporting when you go grocery shopping--is it a highly processed product made with genetically modified Monsanto corn, soy or sugar? Or is is a fresh heirloom tomato that came from the farmer outside of town? I'm trying to make choices that support my local farmers and businesses. It's not always easy, and sometimes it's less convenient (I order a lot of pizza when I'm strapped for time), but if enough of us can make better choices a few times a week, we have the potential to rewrite our economic destiny.
So, regardless of whether you have $5 worth of faith in this particular idea, I hope you'll start/continue using your power to strengthen healthy systems that are aligned with your values.

50 million people are already trying to make purchasing choices to support companies that are socially and fiscally responsible. If we can get this message in front of just .4% of those people (200,000), we have a real shot at demonstrating a new model for rebuilding the economy through community-supported entrepreneurship. Imagine the potential....
(and since I know some of you are wondering, I'm not getting any $ out of this. I just think it has the potential to be a game changer, and I hope you agree!)

when I first heard this, I had mixed emotions ...
yeah, I had a teacher say I couldnt do something regarding a certain degree in college .. I did get the degree, I'm not sure if it was the exact one we were discussing or what the exact conversation was but that was a bit of stimulus to do it .... it was a major bitch to get it and it took a long time to do it (working full time and night school made it drag out a long time).. but i did get it and it did make most jobs commend more pay because of it but then again, it made some jobs, just because u have a BS into 'salaried' which is where that funny overtime compensation thinng doesnt happen, and if you're lucky you get comped time at least to make up ... --
I really don't know exactly what it is that you're trying to do with friendsofmoney.com but you seem so enthusiastic about it that that of itself seems to commend the $5 .. ;) I'm hoping it's not a pyramid scheme or multi-level marketing .. I've gotten those things in the mail that say, send $1 to each of these 5 people and by the end of the week you will have $1000 coming back to you ... ha ;)
This effort deserves $5 if for nothing else, all the effort you've put into your consistent videos you've made over the past many many months.
I guess you're trying to push motivation and investment into solid business models for the future that don't have large corporate/government influence mandating their main productions ....
That's exactly what we're
That's exactly what we're doing (not the part about the MLM/Pyramid, ha), but we'll be adding more specifics over the next few days.
