NEGLECTING THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF RSN: I love this project. I love the community that we serve. Many of us have been together for over a decade. When I say that we are not getting a "reasonable" degree of support and that the organization is suffering because of it, take that seriously. These fundraising drives have to be shorter in duration. Two weeks out of every month tied up in fundraising is damaging to everything we want for the project and is counterproductive to the mission. We have to address that. The solution is simple, don't wait so darned long before jumping in. What we are asking you for is $30. in a one time-donation, or $10. on a monthly. That's a fairly low-risk investment in an organization that shows up for work 24x7x365. Please stop what you are doing and help end this fundraising drive TODAY! Our sincere thanks to you. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News
