It's Live on the HomePage Now: 
Reader Supported News

TO MY FELLOW 280 SUPPORTERS - We're kind of a family. We keep RSN going and I love you. Thank you for donating. You get it. Marc and his staff work hard to keep us current on Progressive issues, Politics, Black Lives Matter, Bernie Sanders, Robert Reich, etc. etc, etc. We don't want to lose the best thing going. But some people choose to read RSN every day and not contribute. I now turn directly to YOU who are not contributing. Don't run and hide. I'm talking to you. You're starting to piss me off. In a big way. You like getting something for nothing. Who doesn't? But what you don't realize is that the only way to keep this amazing newsletter ALIVE is to DONATE. Even if it's a little now and then it would help. It doesn't even have to be $27/month the way Bernie raised millions. I'll let Marc set that monthly donation amount for being able to sustain the publication. Please, be part of our family and let us know you think RSN is worth keeping alive. / Your fellow RSN reader, Carrie Honigman
