Hi everyone! I wanted to follow up on this thread where I asked for your thoughts about #AltGovCares. After a lot of thought, I’d like to explain why I decided to join the effort and authorize Teespring to use my twitter avatar and handle to raise funds for charity
I am still concerned about appearances, & remain adamant that #AltGov accounts exist to resist corruption, & should not be used for personal profit. I’m comfortable that this effort holds true to those beliefs, & hope you will be too. Here are some reasons that helped convince me
The Teespring platform enables me to be 100% outside of any funding processes, so no money can ever come to me. I authorize them to use my name and graphics, then they sell the items and donate all funds directly to my selected charity
A person I trust a great deal raised concerns about #AltGovCares, and their thoughts have merit. Keeping my followers’ trust is important to me (if I have it now.) I’m interested in what you think. Please vote for one of these, and add any other thoughts below. #AltGovCares
The idea behind #AltGovCares is for Alt accounts to pick one charity each, and put a branded tee shirt (or similar swag) for sale on a site that sends all money directly to the selected charities
A number of concerns were raised, but in short, many of our followers see us as enigmas, and aren’t really sure whether we’re trustworthy or not. (And that likely varies by account)
