In These Times is at a crossroads and we urgently need your support. Will you help us raise $50,000 by the end of the week?
Just when you thought this election season couldn't get worse, here comes Republican Rep. Geoff Davis of Kentucky, who recently had this to say about Sen. Barack Obama:
"I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button," Davis said. "He could not make a decision … related to a nuclear threat to this country."
Ah, what Southern charm!
Davis later apologized for his remarks, but presumably not until after attending a noon lynching.
In These Times is only able to publish the fierce, deeply-reported articles we do because of readers like you who contribute a few dollars each month to keep us independent.
If you donate just $5/month or more right now, you'll get a free annual subscription and your support will be felt throughout the newsroom.
Will you support us now? Our goal is to raise $50,000 by the end of the week.
