*WHO SUPPORTS RSN? MORE FORTUNATE DONORS PLEASE TAKE NOTE: This came today from a reader. Your service is great! Thanks so much for what you do. I am and have been for the past five years severely underemployed as I have been working as a substitute teacher with no benefits, per diem pay and no summer work for the past two years. Now that I have a job for six weeks I feel I can spare the money to contribute although I still haven't contributed to anyone else who does charity work. That too will come, but thanks for keeping me informed. / Nicolina, RSN Reader-Supporter*
