Pat Dollard | Young Americans

Update: Thanks to all who have contributed, and we will thank you personally. The fundraising drive continues, as we haven’t reached our 1,000th $1 a week subscriber. Again, not looking for a single $52 payment, just a recurring $1 week debit/credit card or paypal charge that makes sure all the wheels can keep turning here with the full-time input we need, plus costs of upcoming outside projects. We are continuing to grow, grow big, and have real influence. And with full independence. Thank you.

$1 A Week. Simple button will charge your debit card or credit card or paypal account just $1 a week. We are not asking for a $52.00 payment at once:

As many of you who have been long-time readers here at PatDollard.com know, we have undergone some changes and some growth over the last few months. We have given the page a complete overhaul, featuring more pictures, more videos, and more stories and information brought to you without any of that mainstream media left wing liberal spin.

We’ve thoroughly covered the Global War on Terror and kept you up to date daily on what’s really happening in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the broader Middle East with regard to Radical Islamic Jihadis and their desire to wipe Israel off the map, kill Americans and attack American Interests throughout the world, establish the continent of Eurabia, and eventually, destroy America as we know it, and establish a global caliphate.

We’ve launched the weekly Internet radio broadcast of Jihadikiller Hour, which is still in its early stages but receiving a wider audience and fantastic feedback each week. We will be expanding the show to 90 minutes soon, and considering a better time slot, so you East Coasters don’t have to stay up so late on a Sunday night.

We find the best videos from around the web so you don’t have to go searching 8 or 10 different places looking for what you want to see.

Pat and Bash have worked tirelessly over the last 9 months to make this site what it is, the number one military blog on the Internet. Often at the expense of free time, which has meant working 7 days a week in addition to their other pursuits.

Pat, as you know, has been putting the final finishing touches on his Iraq War documentary series Young Americans, which has seen its share of delays and “old school” mainstream Hollywood trying to stick their fingers into it and twist it into something that Pat had never intended.

After countless meetings, and headaches, and threats of lawsuits from every corner of the room, Pat has stood his ground and retained full control of the series, and it will be released, his way, not Hollywood’s way, very soon. All of this without receiving a dime for the series.

Bash has worked on the website over the last 9 months with almost no time off, all the while also trying to keep his family business running, which has suffered since he started working on this site. He has poured his heart and soul and sweat into making sure that the site is the very best it can be on any given day. Often giving up precious evening and weekend time with his family, who have supported his desire to help make PatDollard.com into something he and Pat can be proud of, and something that you, our faithful readers enjoy, appreciate, and go to regularly. Recently Drillanwr and LftBhndAgn have offered to help with putting up stories. This allowed Bash to have a 14 hour workday instead of an 18 hour workday, and also a morning off once in a while on weekends. They have helped increase the number of stories we are able to bring you each day, and their help has allowed Pat more time to step up the final phases of Young Americans.

But we need your help. One of the big blows to both Pat and Bash has been financial. The recent overhaul of the site cost thousands of dollars, and the time that Pat and Bash put into the site is their own. Nobody pays Bash to do what he does here, and Pat has had to dig deep into his own pocket many times to keep the site running, maintained, upgraded, and repaired, this has truly taken a financial toll on Pat personally, and on Bash and his family. Bash and his wife run a daycare, but have scaled back due to Bash’s work on the site and it has cost him dearly in monthly income. Bash has some tough decisions to make.

Pat also has medical bills as a result of neurological wounds suffered in Iraq that are not fully covered by Blue Cross, IED’s wreak havoc on the brain, and Pat can’t go to the VA. It also cost him a lot of money to be manipulated and have his time wasted by Tony Scott and the Hollywood crowd that wanted to basically steal Pat’s Young American’s project and turn it into something completely different. We’re also hoping to raise a litle money to cover a road video project on the upcoming political conventions and General Election.

What ads you see on the site do help a little with the operating costs, which include site hosting, maintenance, and support. But it is barely enough.

We’ve crunched numbers and looked at spreadsheets and looked at bank balances, and crunched more numbers and tried to figure out how we can continue this endeavor. We are about to turn a corner soon, and when Young Americans is released, things will more than likely change, increasing our readership, and putting us into a position where we may be able to rely on ads and sponsors to help cover costs.

Until then, we need your help. If you believe that being able to come to PatDollard.com is worth $1.00 a week, that’s one dollar per week, we would like to ask you to go ahead and click on the “Support Us” button on the main page. And yes, that is not a $52.00 payment we’re asking for, there is a button that will create a recurring $1 a week charge to your credit card or paypal account. We’re asking for very little, our goal is to get 1,000 of our thousands of readers to pledge a dollar per week. We’re asking for just a little normal patronage from our readers so we can continue for years and years to come.

It is very easy to do, just click here for a little help, a little patronage.

Some of you are not familiar with PayPal, or uncertain of the security of that transaction, or even how to go about doing it. You DO NOT need a PayPal account to use PayPal, and it is actually MORE SECURE than buying a product from Amazon.com or most any other Internet website. PayPal will take credit cards and even your ATM debit card. It is completely secure, PayPal is the most trusted financial institution on the Internet and your information is safer than if you used your debit or credit card at the supermarket or a local restaurant. It will never charge more money than you authorize it to, and never more than one-time. You can even use your own bank checking account, and we can assure you , it is safer than handing your check to the pimple-faced kid at your local convenience store.

This is Bash here: I wrote this whole thing in the third person for a professional type of fund-raising letter. But I also just want to appeal to you on a personal level. I bust my ass working on this site, as does Pat, and I gotta tell you, my business has gone down some, to the point where my wife, who has fully supported me in this endeavor up to now, is nervous. And rightfully so, we have two kids, and all the bills any other average American family has.

You can’t even begin to imagine how much of his own money Pat has sunk into the site and the Young Americans project. But we see a potential for something big here. We think we can actually make a go of it with PatDollard.com, the JihadiKiller Radio show, and the JihadiKiller apparel line, and a whole lot more, and we do see a light at the end of this tunnel. If we can make it through the next few months, I think we may actually see some good success.

We need your support. A buck a week. That’s less than .15 cents a day. Fifteen cents a day for the news and information from around the world that matters to you, without the lefty liberal spin, and lots of videos and other cool stuff. Help us out, would ya?
