Poll Fixed! Choose the Flowers for Nancy and Paul Pelosi /GoFundMe [View all]

Last edited Tue Nov 15, 2022, 08:30 PM - Edit history (2)

Sorry for the length of this post. I want to make sure everyone knows what's going on and has a chance to have a say in the flowers we send to the Pelosi's.
______________________________________

The last poll overwhelmingly voted to send Nancy and Paul Pelosi one lovely bouquet of flowers and then contribute the rest to Senator Warnock's campaign. We are using Omaha Steve's DU for Warnock link to contribute: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duforwarnock
All contributions through this Thursday will be credited toward the Pelosi fundraising campaign.

I've set up a GoFundMe for donations for the flowers: https://www.gofundme.com/f/flowers-for-nancy-and-paul-pelosi?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1

Please donate when you vote!

The costs of potential flower bouquets range from $89-500 (plus delivery fees and tax). We will send the flowers to her house Thanksgiving week. We got her address from a staffer.

Here are the choices for flower arrangements:

Apples, Peaches, and Pumpkin Pie, Farmgirl Flowers, $89

Gram Cracker, Farmgirl Flowers, $110

Double the firecracker, Urban Stems, $126.

Technicolor deluxe, Acme Floral, $350

Rich and Dramatic, Acme Floral, $500.

Family Jewels, Le Bouquet, $200

If the vote goes to an arrangement less expensive than the one pictured, we can ask the florist to upgrade it with the extra money and/or donate the rest to the Warnock campaign. Similarly, if we raise less money than the results of the poll, we'll downsize to a less expensive option.
