    By DaElmersBack  |  Posted December 12, 2012  |  Lansing, Michigan
     

    Yesterday Clint Tarver, known as "The Hot Dog Guy" had his stand destroyed in Lansing, MI during the union protests. Over-night Lorilea Susanne has raised $9,175 for Clint using (http://www.gofundme.com/SupportClint) and this total continues to grow even though the goal was only $2,000.

    ~At the time this was loaded, $3,850 has been raised.. 10am CST~

    ~New Total at 12pm CST is $9,175!!

    ~ 12pm 12/13 - Raised: $29,487.00

    This video on YouTube shows Clint in action, it also has interviews from people who loved his stand (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzfwj7Eb8cA&feature=youtu.b)

     

    Finally this Facebook page was created in support of Clint called,

    "We stand with Clint" (https://www.facebook.com/WeStandWithClint)

     

    It is just amazing what people can do for others when they try. I hope Clint gets back into business soon, this was HIS American dream.
