ASK NOT . . .

ASK NOT what the Mike Huckabee can do for you, its supporters. Rather,
ASK what YOU can do for the Mike Huckabee campaign.

56 THINGS YOU CAN DO

Can you:

1. Donate $25 real dollars now?
2. Can you find a Ranger to match it now?
3. Can you donate $100 dollars now in lieu of the extra candles & chotskies that you’ll mindlessly acquire over the next 4 weeks?
4. Can you buy & put up 20 signs/posters (@ $1 each w/free shipping) around your neighborhood?
5. If not, can you sew a small fabric banner, or glue a felt banner, like Betsy did over 200 years ago?
