“Way too many ‘zero-dollar days’ this year.”
That was the message accompanying long-time supporter JR’s $96.34 donation yesterday. Why $96.34? Because that’s how far short we were of the 1/3 mark in our year-end fundraiser. Thanks to JR, IH and JF, got us past the mark to (as of 5:30am Thursday morning) $922.34!
And yes, JR’s right. We’ve had (or at least it FEELS like we’ve had) too many days when not a single reader of the freedom movement’s daily newspaper has thrown in to support our work here via:

We put this publication out every day and have been doing so (under different brandings) for 34 years, so it’s a little depressing when a day goes by during our only annual fundraiser without at least one of our 5,000 or so readers deciding it’s worth something, anything, even a little, to them.
We’re not talking about a lot of money here: Thanks to reader GL’s “matching funds” pledge, we only have to raise $2,750.50 from all of our other readers to hit our $5,501 goal (and once we do, I stop talking about money entirely for the rest of 2025 and mostly until October of 2026).
That’s about 55 cents per reader. I hesitate to say “NO donation is too small” because PayPal fees eat up a lot at the low end, but even a couple of dollars makes a real difference.

Our next “mini-goal” is to raise another $77.66 by tomorrow morning, which will put us at the $1,000 mark. Will you help us get there? That URL again:

While you’re there, I hope you’ll consider becoming a “subscribing contributor” who supports us regularly for as little as $1 per month. JR, IH, and JF are all “subscribing contributors” and we appreciate them very much (yes, JR sent us that contribution yesterday ON TOP OF his recurring donations).
Thanks for all you do, and in advance for doing a little more. Have a great day!
Yours in liberty,
