California Says 'Obama-Kogelo School Non-Profit Approved!'
California has approved the non-profit status of 'Save Senator Obama Kogelo School, Inc.' So now I'm merely waiting to receive all that stuff (via snail mail) required to run such a business.
As for donations, the effort is still accepting them, but because there was no proof that the business was a non-profit, Paypal decrypted the donation button. (Recall that the first part of the fund-raising effort was to raise enough money to establish the non-profit.) Paypal breaks the donation buttons but still allows the business to accept donations. I don't get the logic, but, for now, go to Paypal and use the email address obamaschool-at-gmail-dot-com.
Look for obamaschool.org by Monday.

Congratulations! I'm holding out my regular donations until the new site is up.

It is my hope that someone sees this idea into "mainstream" fruition -- I (with my 20+ hits per day) am not that conduit, but you have my support. See you Monday!
