17 January 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now:  Reader Supported News COMING TO TERMS WITH THE 99.5% WHO DO NOT CONTRIBUTE: Our challenge at this point is to address the 99.5% of those who visit RSN on a monthly basis but do not contribute. Those who are really strapped, we understand. But .05% of the Readers donating on a monthly basis - that's absurd. It's unfair to those who do contribute and it's holding the project back. If you are an active donor, please be patient as we work through this. Thanks to everyone. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! FOCUS: Alfred W.
