“PROTECTING OUR ACCESS TO REAL TRUTHFUL JOURNALISM” - I just watched an Al Jazeera report regarding the unprecedented threat to investigative and truthful journalism all over the world. Journalists who dare to report the truth, challenge the stays quo are under threat. Given the incredible array of offerings that RSN provides each and every day, all of us need to jump in and support this treasure that arrives in our respective inboxes. Even though I live on a fairly small Social Security stipend, I have managed to do a monthly $15.00 plus extras when I can. All of us need to dig around in our pockets and create a monthly contribution according to our means. If you can afford to switch on a light to light your room, you have to contribute so that RSN can continue to expose those dark places that need to see the light of day. / Naomi, RSN Reader-Supporter
