DBC-SG Crowdfunding Campaign Day 2 of 16 Progress
1. We managed to raise US$1,148 (achieving 29% of the base target) from a total of 33 funders. Namaste.
2. All funders originate from Singapore. There are visitors from other countries as well:
3. This is another interesting Indiegogo Statistics (not commonly seen/published by other Indiegogo campaigns), ie. where the Fund contributors got to know our campaign from? A big Thank-you to these platforms as well:
I continue to pray that the DBC-SG Crowdfunding Campaign Media Press Kit that was sent to the 20+ Singapore, Australia and US bloggers was received and read. This campaign is summarised in the 3 mins Youtube video: http://dhz.us/-/dbcv
4. Tara was my sweet daughter that we lost on 9 July 2009.... ... ...
I will share more about us when either (a) we reached our base target of $4,000 or, (b) when this campaign ends.
Yours Sincerely,
Tara Green JT (Dr.)
On behalf of the "DBC-SG Support Group" Exco team
PS: I dedicate this Vivaldi Winter Largo concert performance to my beloved daughter who left us too soon....

Update: New Strategy - Meet the MP
Friends in Singapore,
1. For those who are planning to talk to your MP (Member of Parliament) or someone important in the .gov circles about this Speculative Invoicing and how it is affecting you or the 500+ people in Singapore, this is my recommended steps to take:
* Step 1: Goto the Slides for the Campaign pitching video: http://dhz.us/-/dbcslides
* Step 2: Scroll down to the bottom of that page
* Step 3: Click onto the 2 links to download the pdf materials: (1) What is Speculative Invoicing, (2) Slides
* Step 4: If possible, print the "What is Speculative Invoicing" pdf in color (esp. the yellow highlights)
* Step 5: Printing of the slides can be in B&W if you want to save the color ink (though color is preferred as well)
* Step 6: Read through both printouts and if you have any question esp. on the slides, ask me in the Chat Platform http://dhz.us/-/dbchat first before you go (because your MP may ask you some questions on certain slides)
* Step 7: While in the queue waiting for your turn, load our Youtube 3 mins campaign video http://dhz.us/-/dbcv in your iPad-Tablet / Laptop / Smartphone and where possible, show the MP the short video if possible as that would help set the stage for your discussion.
* Step 8: If there is any question from the MP that you are unable to answer, just write them down dutifully and inform your MP that we'll revert back to him. Contact me at ipresearch70(at)gmail.com the list of questions and the DBC-SG Support Exco team will prepare a response for the good man/woman accordingly.
2. Be mindful that your MP may be hearing about Speculative Invoicing business practice for the first time in his life, therefore, while there are loads of information on why Speculative Invoicing is wrong, try not to overwhelm the MP - unless he/she is the Law Minister or Ms. Indranee.
As such, before meeting the MP:
* (a) we need to understand the essence of Speculative invoicing first, and then
* (b) teach our MP on what is Speculative invoicing but just sufficient for him to understand the basics - otherwise, it would be a wasted trip (preparation, queuing, heart skipping many beats, etc) For the first meeting with our good MP, simplicity is the key.
May the force be with us.
Yours Sincerely,
T. Green (Dr.)
