Why Larger Donors Should Support Reader Supported News
So it looks like the big donors went to the Democratic Party during the 2016 election cycle and haven't come back.
But look who drove the surge that took over the House, it was the new progressive energy. Think of the Democratic Party as the machine, think of Progressive energy as the battery.
We haven't seen a $1,000. online donation in 4 months. The small donors cannot do this alone, nor should they.
Help!
