FUNDRAISING RANT, PLEASE READ - Absolutely feeling some frustration on the fundraising. Half a million people visit RSN each month and we need one thousand donations. That is a lean, sustainable, totally realistic funding model. Yes people do donate and it's a beautiful thing, but it simply takes too long to get most readers around to it. This is not where the organization's time should be spent. Every day we spend fund raising is a day that we did not turn our full attention to the mission. We are resistant to that. It should take 4-5 days tops. We have a great, loyal, engaged community, but we need EVERYONE to take the fundraising drives more seriously. Hit the silly donation link, toss in what you can - Please. Many of have already done that - Thank You! Let's move on from fundraising and cause some real trouble out there. Keep the faith. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

Sure, I'll make a donation!
