26 May 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News I FOR ONE DO NOT WANT TO LOSE RSN AT THIS CRUCIAL TIME!! - I don't like getting solicitations for donations any more than anybody else does. Except that for RSN, this seems to be a very "necessary evil" for funding and continuing quality reading. - BUT, RSN is one thing I am TOTALLY WILLING to contribute to! ...BTW, I'm retired, on a fixed income - and not all that much $$ income at that! So howzabout all you "readers" (but non-donors) becoming REAL SUPPORTERS - send RSN some $$$, PLEASE!! (I for one do NOT want to lose RSN at this crucial time!!)

16 May 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DO WE GET YOU TO CONTRIBUTE? How is it possible that our readership is increasing while the number of people contributing is decreasing? Who are the readers we have now? These are not the readers we have had in the past. Who comes to “Reader Supported News” and will not contribute? What is that mindset? It’s a question that we have to find the answer to. Quickly. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!

26 April 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News SHOCKED BY THE LACK OF SUPPORT - I just want you to know that, as a monthly contributor who thinks the work you are doing is hugely important, I am shocked by the lack of support of other readers. Rest assured that rsn is deeply appreciated and I count on it/you to keep informed. If we want a "free" and independent press in today's world of corporate news, you are essential and I, for one, am deeply grateful to you and want to express my thanks.
