It's nearly impossible at this point to run a normal fundraiser. Unless things get seriously dire we get no support. That is one bad formula.
Again a “reasonable” stream of donations fixes all of this.
At this stage the May fundraising drive is - far - behind where it should be.
In earnest.

Not only do the networks and mainstream media generally fail to question the administration's rush to war, they also fail to do basic journalism by independently confirming whether a particular story is true or not."
