NOTE: NOVEMBER
FUNDING DRIVE NOT ON TRACK: Sorry folks, although we had a promising start to
this fundraising drive, the flow of donations has now stalled. Our only option
is to focus our efforts on finishing the drive. We ask all of you to take a
moment from your busy day and toss a contribution into the kitty. Our sincere
thanks to all. Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News

| In Defense of My Friend Bill Maher's Statements on Islam
Michael Moore, Reader Supported News
Moore writes: "Bill Maher is a friend of mine. He stood up for me when I was attacked after my Oscar speech (given on the fourth night of the Iraq War, a war Bill publicly opposed while 70% of the country, including the majority of Democrats in the U.S. Senate, supported it), and I stood up for him when ABC fired him and cancelled his show when he attempted to stop the hysteria and fear-mongering after 9-11."

Police Can
Seize and Sell Assets Even When the Owner Has Broken No Laws
Laura Sullivan, National Public Radio
Sullivan writes: "You don't have to be convicted of a crime - or even accused of one - for police to seize your car or other property. It's legal. Several videos online are shedding some light on the controversial practice. The practice is called civil asset forfeiture, and every year it brings cities millions of dollars in revenue, which often goes directly to the police budget."
