Mr. Paules' Classroom - $470.00
Mark William Paules is a high school teacher.
That's his day job.
But he is, first and foremost, a patriot.
In a rare attempt to combine these two avocations, he made this appeal
To that end, we have started the MPC ("Mr Paules' Classroom") pledge drive.

"I need 20 copies of "Silent America" for my classroom. The school is broke, but I think we can raise the money right on a thread if you're willing. How about a pledge week for Mr. Paules' classroom?"

$100 from Otto.
Good on ya, mate.
Another fifty bucks from Don.
Don kicked in another $30 to take the "Grant" away.
"I can't believe I donated a "Grant". I'm from the South dang it!"
My personal thanks to each and every one of you. I posted an hour ago on Bill's latest thread only to come here and find the jar almost full. We need to cut the drive off at $550. I want to take no more than I need. If we take in more, we owe our contributors a refund, or a suitable explanation how the overage will be spent. I appreciate the generosity, but let's not go overboard.

I included a name when a nic was provided.
$100 from an unrepentant kulak.
I think you can also use the response to the thread on E3 to teach a lesson as well. When you truly believe in something, you don't mind ponying up some bucks to support it.

Per your question over at E!3, setting aside a few extra copies for the school library sounds like a fine plan to me if they'll have them. Else, I'd be happy to see any surplus from my donation go to Spirit of America or Soldiers' Angels.
Thanks everyone for pitching in!
