08 October 18 AM It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News WE CANNOT FAIL ON FUNDING - There is too much to lose by failing, and too much to gain by succeeding. We must say no to failure.

Reader Supported News, embrace the concept, reap the benefits. In earnest. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!
