PEOPLE
Everyone can help make sure we have all the political meetings and events by sending them to us at walt@CivicSatisfaction.org or go to our Submit page (that need to be rewritten) and use those guidelines. Without everyone's help to keep Civic Satisfaction stay abreast, this would really get expensive.
Civic Satisfaction seems simple and trivial in some ways, and not a bit tedious. Tho we get to go to lots of political meetings to stay involved. And it is a bit tedious at times. But this is the only way to test whether Civic Satisfaction can help unlock the logjam of politics, bad leaders, ineffectual government and let the people express their feelings and creativity.
And we are flooded with emails that we have to wade thru, so we need still we need your help to take time on each email, each event, and to pay the bills
With this just-a-little-easier access to all the active groups, you
and access to meet and evaluate candidates Of course we think Civic Satisfaction is the key to unlock the power of the people, the key at the center of all our issues.
And right now we are in awe of all the meetings and events you are submitting. Partly we are in awe because people love the idea. And we are in awe of how we are drowning in work. We can't get to our meetings, which is a perk here, but we need to talk to some of these people and collaborate on the postings and future. We need more crew. And we have knowledgeable people we need. And now we need your donations.
And as you send donations we'll built the Media Section so people can tune right in to issues they want to know about, rather than listening all day, hoping to catch what they want. CivicSatisfaction.org wants to list topics, not just show titles and time.
And with resources Civic Satisfaction can move beyond Denver. Tho that's people resources as well as money, if we are to keep the intimate touch we've tried to maintain. We have been asked to help cover Fort Collins, Greeley, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Avon, Grand Junction and more. Help Civic Satisfaction spread.
Again, we always need your help. We Ask All Who Use This Site to mention more than their own meetings, events or broadcast schedule for follow up or more. A successful meeting is one that agrees to meet again. So, when you decide when and where to hold your next meeting, also mention similar meetings, events or media. And mention Civic Satisfaction, especially as where you looked for other meetings to mention. Word of Mouth is so important we spent a page on it. And here you can show your support for such networking
And all the Calls to Action, which are not to meet or rally or discuss, but to call, write, sign a petition. We really love the face to face, but also need to support and build the Petition Section, with your support
And the whole idea is to unleash people power of groups who can forge creative solutions. Civic Satisfaction wants to make it easier to elect the thoughtful legislators we always imagined. Those who can write simpler, less confusing laws without obfuscation - without the smoke and mirrors that only the few can profit from. Here is where we develop a culture that always spends a little time tracking politics or working favorite issues to good effect.
Here is how we eliminate high privilege and profit raking, so every job is valuable and makes a living wage with free time for family and friends, arts, exercise, games, and politics - which is always our favorite game - but not so desperately. Or cynically
With just a little more control by the people we can build the trustworthy government, with wise laws that will always need to be honed, with respected leaders who help us stay a strong people growing strong leaders. We all know we can eliminate poverty and hopelessness, and oppression. We all know we can make the land a garden. We all know that violence is the last resort of the incompetent.
With just a little more aerating of the grassroots, making it a little easier for people to participate just a little more, we know education can be the play we all know it should be and develop creative craftsmen of every profession. The people have said they want equality and now need to show the way, just a little more to finally set equality into our culture. And the arts, all the arts, that enrich our lives and help us blossom, will continue to help us celebrate and argue and lead in a culture of truth.
So contribute to all your issues and to Civic Satisfaction who helps you help yourself on all your issues.
If Civic Satisfaction is the small key at the center of this great puzzle, we need your input, like on how to improve and expand CivicSatisfaction.org, and how to improve this Contribution page. And we need your donations to aerate the grassroots and help satisfy your civic desires and duty, when so much needs to be done.
We are 501(c)3, tax deductable with the IRS. We did that paperwork. We'll do more paperwork if you contribute (like IRS paperwork), but we'll enjoy that more. Like my grandfather always said, "The only thing worse than paying taxes, is not having to pay taxes."
We send receipts by email - that's PayPal automation. And all our paperwork will soon be on this site. If you can help us wade thru this, we would appreciate any help. Again, for now please email if you can volunteer AND use the button below for Contributions.
Let us know if you would like to be listed as a contributor. And note that our Friends links are on each page. CivicSatisfaction.org would love to trade links with your political name or organization. Call Walt at 303-423-2399, or contact walt@CivicSatisfaction.org. We want people to get to you, so help us help you. Connections are the main idea of Civic Satisfaction.

Help us survive and keep meeting and event postings free - please Contribute
Volunteer - 4 ways, so far

CIVIC SATISFACTION FUND-RAISERS
Civic Satisfaction's current staff can't do all the fundraising, and all the meetings and events, too. And Walt and rest of the Directors are not good salesmen or fund-raisers, so we need... HELP!
We need to establish some long term funding for Civic Satisfaction. We need people who know how to sell media, internet sponsorships for us. We get a little more with each election. And our 1st major active group was Peace Jam, who allowed us to post a picture of the Dalai Lama, who led the dozen Nobel Peace Lauriates here in town! We also need a solid base of businesses who support our efforts long term.
Like PBS acknowledgements or ads, these sponsors may post their logos and usually a tagline, and links to their websites or email. Please look at the "suggested donations" for Candidates, Festivals & Fund Raisers and Business. We currently suggest $5/day, $25/week, $100,month and $1000/year. And larger sponsors are listed first on either top-right column or middle-left colunm.
We offer a curved commission, since we really can't offer a salary. Long term sponcorships will be quite lucrative. We have tons of leads for someone who can follow-up on them.
Fundraisers may take commission immediately or spread commissions out over the sponsor's contract. Note that we currently hope to provide a salary of $2500/month or $30k/year and hope to provide benefits, including medical. Each month, fundraisers will get:
