Rick-A-Thon: Let Rick Warren Raise Money for LGBT Equality at Obama’s Inauguration

January 4, 2009 By chrissmason

Rick Warren's invocation will not last longer than a couple minutes. You can pledge any amount you chose, whether it be $0.05, $0.10, $0.25, or even $1 for every second he speaks. You can even pledge a flat rate for the entire time he is at … [Read more...]
