*PROPOSAL: 32K "OR" 300 SUSTAINER SUBSCRIBERS: We feel that monthly Sustainer Subscriber signups are so important that we will cut off fundraising if we reach 300 new monthly donors for May - even if we get there before we reach our overall goal of 32K. We have achieved 300 monthly donor signups 3 times before. Remember if you do signup as a monthly Sustainer Subscriber you skip the fundraising emails. It's a lot better. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News*

You become a complicit participant in a military expansionist agenda on the continent of Africa. This is not good."
