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?
Read Brian's post below about appealing to the electorate's anger. I agree. Why must every speech or valid criticism of McCain begin with "John McCain has served this country with honor and as a true patriot" or "John McCain is my friend and has served his country well…" It's immediately defensive and weak. Could we please call for an Obama-campaign-wide moratorium on flattering remarks about McCain? Obama's criticisms are tepid enough without these defusing preambles.
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.
