I concur.  And a Donate button on every message
or Web page (linked at least twice, at the top
and the bottom, and maybe in the middle as
well where Mr. O'Rights is mentioned couldn't
hurt; works on me.  Putting out the call on every
cryonics and/or futurist mailing list, Meetup,
or Web site, along with a request to put the
Donate button on their Web site, might also
help.  (The button should be adjacent to a link
to a page that describes Mr. O'Rights and his
predicament in a way that less cryonics-savvy
people can relate to.)

I've also heard about fundraising
efforts being conducted on the Internet at large;
I don't remember how this works, but I think
there are "pick-a-cause" sites; maybe the
Venturist connection would help there.

Using the any-port-in-a-storm theory, sending a
plea to all of your friends might help, but
only if there's a PayPal Donate button --
people do these things spontaneously, and the
easier it is, the better.

There are only about 1000 cryonicists.  There
are easily ten or a hundred times as many
futurists, and nearly ten or a hundred times
as many as that of generic sympathetic and
generous people.  It's just a matter of
reaching them.
