So one gets the coveted "smf LPPa Member" designation if they pay $15. What if you're a contributor to ballot access and/or that 1787 Society thing? I'm sure there are lots of "newbies" who kicked in more than $15 for different things.
The rewards for donations over $15 go beyond forum access and permissions. Words cannot describe the sense of accomplishment and purpose associated with more significant donations.The benefits derived from such dedication to liberty may even extend into the next life.
