Fire and Brimstone Fundraising

We are starting to see some donations come in. Thank you. We are a long way from where we need to be. I deeply regret that we have to go to these extraordinary lengths to pull in minimal financing. I sincerely believe that is misguided.

If RSN is a place you would like to be, start thinking seriously about what it takes to maintain it.

Wishing us luck.

27 September 19 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News IMMEDIATE AND URGENT REQUEST FOR CONTRIBUTIONS - We have absolutely no chance of finishing this funding drive at this pace. Further we have no chance of running the organization at the current funding level. During the course of this drive roughly one out of every thousand visitors to the site have contributed. That will not work. By comparison, had it been one out of every one hundred the funding drive would have been complete last Friday. In earnest. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! FOCUS: Mehdi Hasan | Democrats Please Don't Mess This Up Mehdi Hasan, The Intercept Hasan writes: "For House Democrats to wait this long and then impeach a reckless, lawless, racist, tax-dodging president only over his interactions with the president of Ukraine would be to effectively give Trump a clean bill of health on everything else." EXCERPT: The point of impeachment, remember, is for the House of Representatives to loudly and publicly indict Trump for his agglomeration of high crimes and misdemeanors. Whether or not he is removed from office is beside the point; the point is for Congress to hold the president to account by demanding documents and scheduling televised hearings on a range of potentially impeachable offenses — and winning over public opinion in the process. For House Democrats to try and hive off Trump’s corrupt, lawless, and authoritarian behavior over Ukraine and Biden from his corrupt, lawless, and authoritarian behavior over his taxes, or Mueller, or Stormy Daniels, or Puerto Rico, or the Squad, or Amazon — I could go on and on — is madness. To quote Crooked Media’s Brian Beutler: “IT’S ALL ONE FUCKING STORY!” The Democrats only get one chance at impeachment. One chance to remind the public there is a criminal sitting in the Oval Office. They can’t afford to rush it — or blow it. READ MORE Contribute to RSN Update My Monthly Donation
