WE NEED TO TURN OUR FULL ATTENTION TO FUNDING - Regrettably funding must take center stage. While the overall success of Reader Supported News is very encouraging we have once again hit a dead spot on donations.

Please, if you are able toss in a donation. Thank you sincerely in advance. / Marc Ash - Curator, Reader Supported News

Sure, I'll make a donation!
