CONTINUE CHIDING US TO CONTRIBUTE - I truly don't believe enough have quite figured-out HOW much they need RSN ... if they hope to see past the brain-washing of an a-moral, corporate-owned media oligopoly. Maybe I should just speak for myself, and say I need RSN in a major way. Seems like even our formerly-quite progressive NPR-affiliate has now "gone lame" on us. By the way, the post-article "comments" becoming ever-more important to me, in recent months. They're often-times superb! Continue chiding us to contribute. I'm sure it's vitally necessary -- if not much fun. Thanks so much ... Robert in SEA

Sure, I'll make a donation!

..... And, right up to and including this very hour, the perpetrators of violence in the US Senate would not pass the bill to keep the government open UNLESS THE “VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT” WAS ELIMINATED! And it was. Because we are a violent people and we are a nation that cherishes violence as much as we claim to cherish Apple Pie. I honor the Parkland dead every day and I thank and honor the Parkland students who have ignited a mass citizens movement. Each of us have to do our part or this madness will never end.......

Moore writes: "These are 17 beloved people who live on, one year later, in all of our lives, inspiring us to act, to fight, to never give up until this uniquely American epidemic is obliterated."
