Andy Borowitz | Trump Orders Pence to Find Passage in Bible Where Jesus Tells People to Get the Hell Out

23 July 19 I, For One, Do Not Want to Lose RSN at This Crucial Time!! I don't like getting solicitations for donations any more than anybody else does. Except that for RSN, this seems to be a very "necessary evil" for funding and continuing quality reading. BUT, RSN is one thing I am TOTALLY WILLING to contribute to! ...BTW, I'm retired, on a fixed income - and not all that much $$ income at that! So howzabout all you "readers" (but non-donors) becoming REAL SUPPORTERS - send RSN some $$$, PLEASE!! (I, for one, do NOT want to lose RSN at this crucial time!!) Thanx, RSN! Will, RSN Reader-Supporter Sure, I'll make a donation! Update My Monthly Donation If you would prefer to send a check: Reader Supported News PO Box 2043 Citrus Hts CA 95611

22 July 19 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News THE FUNDING MODEL OF THIS ORGANIZATION IS RISKY FOR SURE - One is not required to pay before reaping the benefits. It's a bit like going to a coffee shop and only paying if you feel energized by the coffee/pastries. But who doesn't? From all the news groups and sources I read, this one is selective, relevant, and professional. The articles that RSN posts are timely and poignant. The funding model is that one pays voluntarily for what one values and benefits from. What could be more democratic than that? Please support this organization. The more of us who do, the less it costs each. / Mary, RSN Reader-Supporter Sure, I'll make a donation!
