WE’RE NOT THE DNC, WE’RE NOT RAISING RECORD AMOUNTS OF $ - So it appears that the donations are going to the Democrats, apparently in "record" measure. Fear of Trump perhaps? That actually makes sense, up to a point. Bear in mind, after the upcoming election RSN will still be valuable to the community. Help out. Thank you.

People Used to Come and Donate, Now They Just Come

The key to our funding formula has always been reasonable response. That's gone. When we used to say, we are running behind, things picked up. Now they don't. We used to finish in far less time. Now we don't finish.

It was never like this.

BAD NEW GUYS, WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU TO SAVE RSN - A 40% decline in funding in the span of one year is untenable. We have to find a way out of that by any means necessary. It's not personal, it is survival. Depending on you is burdensome and intrusive, but it is better in the long run for you than having your news source depending on the commercialists and the Wall Street crowd. Whose interests would we then take into first consideration? Been there, done that. We need your help. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News
