IT'S NOT A
BILL - BUT WE DO HAVE BILLS: RSN does not "bill" its readers. Nor do we shut off
service to those who do not pay. But our service providers do. We only need one
out of every thousand readers to donate on a monthly basis to pay our bills.
Right now we are at 20% of that for January. Please show your support for Reader
Supported News with a donation. Thanks to all. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader
