With all those out there (some very well heeled) quick to use Gunwalker in their fundraising appeals (even though they have done practically nothing in terms of original work on the story, and the most prosperous ones have even discouraged recognition of those who have), isn't it refreshing to see someone who has been working around the clock to break new ground and pushing himself to mortal limits--someone of modest means who often can't say how the next bill will be paid--asking his supporters to stop sending money?
What better testament to character?
For the DC trip, OK--but in general principle, those who receive regular value should return it. Some time ago I proposed a very doable monthly voluntary subscription to SSI--a buck a month. If just a fraction of Mike's readers did that, he'd be compensated along the lines of, say, a bus boy.
Hopefully, no one of conscience thinks that's asking too much.

I wish there was more I could do. As Mike can attest, those of us on disability have enough trouble paying the bills. Of course I try to help in my own way by spreading the word and giving credit to those (You and Mike) that deserve it. I'm glad readers are sending him to the hearings. The stories to follow should be interesting indeed.
