I recently received a modest financial windfall, and though I have no shortage of bills on which to spend those extra funds, I used a few of those dollars to supplement my monthly RSN contribution.
I’m frustrated that this most extraordinary news organization has to struggle so for basic financial well-being. The entire readership loses when RSN has to devote resources to raise money instead of focusing on their mission.
Surely most readers are in a position to give SOMETHING every month. Make it 20% of your cell phone bill. Half of what you spend on a dinner out. Some fraction of what you pay to stream movies. Just make it something.
Looking forward to the day when RSN has enough monthly supporters to make fundraiser messages a thing of the past.
