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?
Suffice it to say I'm pretty damn busy in my new position cutting turf, calling volunteers, and getting the troops fired up.
However, I do want to maintain this blog throughout the next six weeks, or as long as it's feasible, so keep checking back for updates. I think I'll shift towards a Liberal Oasis style blog where I put up one post every morning.
One note: All that hype about Dean "bringing new people into the system" turns out to be shockingly true. To wit: I just spoke with a volunteer who drove in from Iowa to come and knock on doors in the outskirts of Madison. How'd she first get involved in politics? Howard Dean.
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.
