I talked to Ryan, apologized for not following the rules and he has graciously granted me permission to post a new thread and publish the URL again.
I cannot help the fact that I am new here, but none the less I am a diehard fan, and a Packer Owner.
How many times have you seen a scam where the scammers post their names and where they live on a website? None! This is not a scam. We started this because we feel Brett wanted to come back for 1 more year. After hearing Bus Cook’s statement to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
“It's my opinion," Cook said of the Packers' lack of interest. "I know he wants to play one more year. I do not know much conversation there was (between Favre and the Packers) and I don't think anyone forced him to make that decision. But I don't know that anyone tried to talk him out of it."
That iced it for us. We think it won’t take much to have him come back. Brett, we know your tired, take the summer off dude! Just hit that Bowflex Revolution a couple times a week and we’ll see you in August.
We talked with many fans that felt like they were frustrated, that they could do nothing but sit back and watch. Our solution was a win-win-win for everyone.
Win - fans get to be pro-active, do something, and feel better that they did.
Win - big pile of money goes to Breast Cancer relief/research.
Win - Brett gets moved by the outpouring of the fans and decides to come back.
Will he? Who knows, but don’t knock a group of fans that are trying. We love Arod, and we’ll love him for the long haul, we think Brett is still the man for just ONE MORE YEAR!!!
If you don’t have $10 bucks, go vote in the KIDS area for now… If you think we should leave him alone, then go vote for that.
There are 2 petition sites out there I have seen where 4-5,000 people have signed a petition to have Brett come back. We felt that wouldn’t be enough of encouragement, and money drives everything these days. Hence the old adage “money talks, bs walks…”
About the money, we set a goal to keep costs down so that at least 90 cents of every dollar goes directly to the charity! There is a board of directors (NON PAID!) and a CPA put in place to ensure that.
According to http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=48
“Our data shows that 7 out of 10 charities we've evaluated spend at least 75% of their budget on the programs and services they exist to provide. And 9 out of 10 spend at least 65%.”
We’ll be doing 25% better than the 9 out of 10 charities.
