Michael Moore | Impeach Trump: Part II

31 December 17 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!

Because, to paraphrase what Thomas Paine famously said during the Revolutionary War, these are the times that try Americans' souls. It is during tumultuous times like these - times when we are challenged to defend our most sacred beliefs with more than trite slogans on caps-that real heroes rise up to face that challenge."   READ MORE Contribute to RSN Become a Fan of RSN on  Facebook  and  Twitter Update My Monthly Donation
