Hi RCV proponents,

The big give/big spend time of American culture is here – won’t you support
this vital cause you care about by becoming a supporter with a contribution
(recurring/sustainer or single) and/or choosing BBNC as your charity at
Amazon smile ahead of shopping this season?

Our sustainers deeply provide us the source of regular funding we can plan
around and employ to ‘keep the lights on’, covering our regular monthly
expenses for the technology, tools and supplies that help us grow and
continue our vital work – and help us attract more funding from granting
foundations and others who see our support base and view us as a smart
place to provide institutional support.

Here’s a further sustainer story from a key monthly recurring contributor
for this week of seasonal financial activity who really understands the
power of ongoing support and community contributions to our RCV cause – our
amazing Founder and Treasurer of Better Ballot North Carolina:

“Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) offers the possibility of rejuvenating our weak
and moribund electoral system. I see RCV as a necessity in electoral
reform, and that is why I am a sustaining supporter of Better Ballot NC. My
monthly contribution ensures that BBNC has the resources they need to
promote RCV to the public and to our elected officials. Your tax deductible
contribution will have good company in working to improve our electoral
process.”



-  Wayne Turner,

BBNC Founder & Treasurer
