Please thank our anonymous investor...

With the help of an investor who wishes to remain anonymous the Rational Response Squad is in the process of purchasing a large home to run RRS operations for the next 30 years and beyond. Satisfying a desire to help humanity overcome theism Kelly, Rook, and Sapient have committed to each other to work and live together in a single house so that we can become more efficient and more productive. Rook will be moving to full time status and while Kelly will continue to work part time, it's our goal that at some point she'll be able to work on nothing else other than Rational Response Squad related business alongside of Rook and myself. Words can't express how thankful we are to have helped start such a large, thriving, and helpful community. Although we may be at our computers a little less in the short term as we coordinate the logistics of purchasing a home, moving into it, furnishing it, and outfitting "the bunker" with the highest level of security the industry has to offer, we promise to bust our butts for you in the long term. Your continued support will become more important than ever. A special thank you to our anonymous investor, you have gone beyond the call of duty and we will be forever indebted to you for all of the help and support you are offering us, without you, this wouldn't be possible.

That kicks much ass Brian I

That kicks much ass Brian I would like to extend my thanks to you "investor" as weel due to the fact that this means that Rook will also be working full time on the RRS (a side from school) not to mention Kelly.

Awesome news, Brian,

Awesome news, Brian, congratulations to the RRS on your windfall and your plans to devote yourselves full-time to your activist project.

 

Best wishes to everyone involved for a productive future, focused activism, and increasing the visibility of atheists in society.

 

Much thanks to the donor for your generosity. I hope you can find it in your heart to help sponsor other secular groups and organizations.

 

Congrats again to the RRS. Look at what you've done so far with limited resources; just imagine what you will achieve once you are settled in your new digs with the ability to work on RRS efforts full-time.

I hope everything works out as anticipated.  My only beef is that I wasn't in a position to do this myself (be the big donor).

Thank you. :)

Cheers Mister Anonymous,

Your generosity is greatly appreciated and the effect it will have on the Atheism-Activist community will be readily noticed. I have never seen such an act of good will towards such a pious cause. You are truly a philanthropist among the shambling masses or mediocre men. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Rayman Brint

I don't suppose they

I don't suppose they offered to cover 50% of a Rational Response Squad "Squad Car"?  Perhaps an LSD bus?

 

Joking aside, this is indeed the biggest news you have ever given us!  It's amazing how you can take such risks, to give up your "normal life" only to arrive at such a great opportunity.  Congrats Brian

This donor is SO anonymous

This donor is SO anonymous that even I don't know who it is, but whoever you are, I am completely willing to bow down before you and kiss your feet, despite the fact that I absolutely hate feet. I would even be willing to wash them first. Tongue out  And the new setup is going to r00l.

This is so fantastic on so many levels. The future is brightening! Hehe, first the Renaissance, then the Enlightenment, and now the Brightening.

Thank You

Right on! Thank you, to the investor, as well as the RRS team for really making a difference in at least one life, mine. Appreciate it greatly.

It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

No fate but what we make for ourselves.

w00t!

Hell yeah, glad to see the core of Atheist Activism housed in proper surroundings! I'm still planning on contacting you (Sapient) on the advertising tip. My schedule is really hectic, I'm sure you can empathize. I still have your number handy and when I have the proper time to devote I'll give you a ring.

 

However, if you feel it necessary to contact me, or to give me a brief idea on what services you'd be interested, I can always be contacted by email (joe at freqsoft.com) Thanks!

That's great news. Congratulations!

I have to admit, this doesn't surprise me Brian. You all have really put yourself out there to promote rationality -- there is a huge, HUGE group of people who are fed up with religion. The more people that put their money where their mouth is, the more people will start funding people like that.

 Well there's RRS Compound, and RRS Bunker on the docket, however the only thing we know for sure is that Rooks portion of the house is to be referred to as: "Rooks Nook"

We were contemplating something with webcams on all the time, maybe a subscribtion based service, however that just feels odd to me.  To some degree I think we want a little privacy.  A Real World spoof might be funny.  We do have plans to give everyone a tour of the house and upload it to Youtube after it's all set up.

 

Thanks everyone for sharing in the love for our investor.  He said, "tell Kelly she doesn't have to kiss my feet."  Also, he's considering becoming less anonymous at some point, but as his legal counsel I am advising against it.
