While I admit I am totally ignorant about what is involved in opening and keeping a cafe Press store running , I am hoping and praying that our GOE
Cafe Press Store WILL REMAIN OPEN
To underline this request , I have just now placed a $217.57 order ,for multiple GOE logo items ,
that I TOTALLY cannot afford ! .....
However if I am over-ruled ( as usual) I must have replacement goods for GOE Cafe Press items I have come to depend on.
Shirts and caps mainly ! And what happens if I drop my coffee mug , that I use EVERY DAY???
Now I have also heard arguments , from very high levels , that Cafe Press is some kind of 'commie store'
Sorry , I don't buy it . I could give a f#*k what other items they carry for whomever they carry them for ,
the quality of their goods is great and they deliver on time , every time .
I personally think we have way way too much 'variety ' in our Cafe Press GOE store .
Here in Hawaii we say " look like chop suey!"
We could slim it down to way less , if that would help the costs of running ?
But the basic GOE gear ,I believe is CRUCIAL to our organization and our visible presence , both in our communities
and at 'coalition ' functions . I myself am a walking billboard for the GOE ...because of products from THIS store !
I would like to see many MORE GOE'er's buy and wear these items ,as a matter of routine .
GOE: Now is the time to ramp up our presence , not fade away ....
We have accomplished so much . Now IS NOT the time to scale back .
The military has lost it's staunchest ally in the Global War on Terror , George W. Bush (and Dick Cheney)
They need US more than ever .
As mundane as it may seem ; How does a military member determine 'a troop supporter' from a run of the mill
average (complacent) citizen?
By what you wear!
I can tell you for sure that when I am wearing my GOE gear I have absolutely zero problem going up
to any & every uniformed service member , introducing myself , telling them all about the GOE
and our mission , and wishing them all the best , along with assurances that 'we have got your back here on the Home Front'
When NOT thus attired , I actually am a little hesitant and usually leave them alone. I kid you not....
They probably get hassled by a lot of morons and I don't want to increase their anxiety by approaching them .
Unless ! I am attired visibly as one of their TROOP SUPPORTERS
And this is why the Cafe Press GOE Store IS important ,and why people should quit being so f-ing cheap and
buy stuff there !
Come on ! for Christ's sake ...if I can afford , you can (and I cannot!)
Do I hear a 10/4 on any of this???? |

First of all, thank you to all who have placed an order, secondly, I just can't afford to keep it open, as is. What I will do is just close the premium shop and open up a free one which will have a more limited product line, but still the essentials.
Will that work?
