Top 10 Reasons to Pledge $50 to E-Democracy.Org

Hosting and Technical Support

To help pay for the hosting and technical support for your forum. As our forums grow in size and sophistication, the costs of hosting the forums have grown as well. For most of its history, E-Democracy.Org has relied exclusively on volunteers to keep the site alive. As we have grown, this has become increasingly difficult and hard to sustain. Part of your pledge will go to support the hosting of your local Issues Forum and the technical support it needs to grow.
