FUND-RAISING, WOODY GUTHRIE STYLE: As we begin the July funding campaign we
thought we might share a story from Woody Guthrie lore sent to us by a reader:
A story is told (possibly true) about Woody Guthrie: When asked to perform
for a "left fundraiser", Woody agreed and told the group that his performance
fee was $xxx. Group: "But we expected that you would perform for free!"
Woody: "Why?" Group: "Because we're a left group." Woody:
"I only perform for left groups." ☺ Let's get RSN a budget! / Marc Ash,

Warren | The Big Benefits of Postal Service Banking
Elizabeth Warren, Reader Supported News
Warren writes: "More than a quarter of all American households - about 68 million people - rely at least in part on nonbank financial services like check cashing or payday lending. These unbanked and underbanked households pay more - a lot more - for the kinds of basic financial services the rest of us take for granted."

| Birthed by the Revelations of Edward Snowden
Charles Pierce, Esquire
Pierce writes: "Over the weekend, The Washington Post produced yet another story birthed by the revelations of Edward Snowden, International Man Of Luggage. As is customary in such things, the story immediately was drowned out by usual Glenn Greenwald: Threat Or Menace? arias from most of the usual suspects."

Beliefs, Facts and Money
Paul Krugman, The New York Times
Krugman writes: "On Sunday The Times published an article by the political scientist Brendan Nyhan about a troubling aspect of the current American scene — the stark partisan divide over issues that should be simply factual, like whether the planet is warming or evolution happened."

NYT Dishes More Ukraine Propaganda
Robert Parry, Consortium News
Parry writes: "As you read or watch the mainstream U.S. media’s accounts of the Ukrainian government’s military offensive against ethnic Russians in East Ukraine, it’s worth remembering that these MSM outlets have been feeding Americans a highly biased narrative of the crisis non-stop from the beginning."

Gloria Steinem: Inside the Bizarre World of Anti-Feminist Women
Jessica Valenti, Guardian UK
Valenti writes: "Every so often, one woman engages with me on Twitter who is against women's suffrage. That's right - she believes women shouldn't have the right to vote. I always hoped it was a fake account, but no - this anti-suffrage enthusiast runs a blog where she writes about religion alongside recipes."
