Kamala Harris Might Be Surging - but Her Record Will Soon Catch Up With Her

17 July 19 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News WHY I AM MAKING A MONTHLY DONATION TO RSN - I’m retired and old enough to have seen a lot of political, economic and social upheaval. I killed my TV set years ago when it became obvious that the networks no longer employed real journalists interviewing real people on the ground, researching stories, and doing thoughtful analysis. Although I live on a fixed income, I think the quality of reporting that RSN culls and presents in one place is worth a monthly contribution. I've looked at a number of other alternative sites and this one seems to be the best. I hope more people will make a monthly contribution so RSN can put its energy into finding the news we need, rather than constant fundraising. Thanks for your work. / Patricia, RSN Reader-Supporter Sure, I'll make a donation!
