The Whole Concept of Electability Is a Sham

16 March 19 Donor on SSI Regrets She Can't Give More That was one donation we had to give back. The people on SSI are not the people we are reaching out to. It's the people who can afford ten-dollars out of their monthly budget. We don't need our donors to give more, we need more donors to give.

WE SINCERELY NEED YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FUNDRAISER: We are in crunch time for basic March donations – our normal budget. Forget a boost, that appears to be out of the question. Very few have donated this month, many have visited. Stop for just a moment and help out. Thank you! / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

Sure, I'll make a donation!
