THE NEED FOR
SUPPORT IS QUITE REAL: We set Reader Supported News up to be a robust
information source for the community at low coast. It is. We run on a small
fraction of what larger news organizations have at their disposal. But we cannot
do it for free, (although in fairness we often wish we could). We have more than
enough readers. We need a few more supporters. In earnest. / Marc Ash - Founder,
