THANK YOU to subscribing contributor JR and long-time supporter RB! Their payments, totaling $125, bring our year-end fundraiser total (as of 5:30am on Friday) to $422.50!
Our goal is $5,501, and we’re a little more than 15% of the way there, because supporter GL’s “matching funds” pledge means we only have to raise $2,750.50 from everyone else.
Our “mini-goal” is to hit the 25% mark — $687.63 — by Monday. We’re only $265.13 short of that. Will YOU support the freedom movement’s daily newspaper?

When you see these fundraiser updates, you’ll often come across two terms: “Subscribing contributor” (those who sign up to send us something on a recurring basis) and “long-time supporter” (that’s kind of self-explanatory). For obvious reasons, we love love both those kinds of people …
… and we hope YOU will become one of them, or at least make a one-time donation.

We’re a reader-supported publication, and My Scientific Wild-Ass Guess, based on email subscribers, social media followers, and web visits, is that we reach about 5,000 readers on a daily basis.
If you’re one of those readers, and have never returned a few dollars in value for the value you find in our publications (you wouldn’t read RRND/FND if you DIDN’T value them), now’s the time.

We don’t play the “if we can’t raise $X, we’ll have to shut our doors” game. If we’re running our year-end fundraiser, it means we’ll be here for AT LEAST another year, barring my death or some kind of apocalyptic development.
And we’ve got a track record — as of December, we’ll have published as RRND for 23 years, and as FND and before that Libernet since 1991. We are by far the longest-running daily news and commentary roundup for libertarians via email, social media, and the web.
Your one-time donation, or “subscribing” donation of as little as $1 per month, keeps RRND/FND coming every non-holiday weekday, year-round.

And the final lagniappe: Once we reach our goal for the year, I will stop talking at you about money entirely for the remainder of 2025 and almost entirely (just the occasional “we’re reader-supported” note) until NEXT October. You PAY up, I SHUT up!

Have a happy, healthy, and prosperous weekend!
