14 June 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ONE TIME DONATIONS - The one-time donations are the subject of the progress bar. There’s a reason for that. The monthly donations are great but they’re prone to a high failure rate. When we reach our goal on the one time and new donations, that is the sure-fire remedy. It ensures that we have an operating budget and it also ensures that we have new monthly donations coming in as some of the older ones fail, and they do. When we say “donate” we mean hit that link in the mailer and make a donation. That’s what’s required. Thank you for a great publication. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!
