NOTICE TO THE READERSHIP ON FUNDING: Regrettably the progress of this month's funding drive is insufficient to address the organizations immediate expenses. While the amount of funds lacking may not seem great we cannot proceed without them. There are a number of "immovable expenses" such as payroll, creative fees, contractors and vendors that we no choice but to address. Our average donation is roughly $30. 325 donations at that level are required to complete the February funding drive. Thank you. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News
