We've set our year-end fundraising goal at $100,000 – the highest ever – because that is what we need if we are going to do our part in addressing the serious crisis in the U.S. news media. We believe the time for half-measures must end.
If honest people don’t do more now, the United States could slip back into the political madness that dominated the previous eight years. The craziness already is on the comeback. It would be catastrophic for the American people and the world if the madness fully returns in 2010. [If you agree and want to help, click here.] In our hopes of raising $100,000 by year’s end, we are looking for a combination of large and small donors. We need 10 “sustainers” who will contribute $5,000 to $10,000 or more. If these large donors can get us to around $75,000, we believe our smaller donors can do the rest. With that money, Consortiumnews.com can continue through its 15th year – publishing Ray McGovern’s courageous commentaries, our investigative “special reports,” and thought-provoking “guest essays.” Unlike many Internet sites, much of Consortiumnews.com’s content is original. That means if we didn’t exist, neither would the information – whether it’s shedding light on America’s hidden history or explaining the inside story of current events. So, if you can help, please make a tax-deductible donation either by credit card by clicking here – or by sending a check or money order to: Consortium for Independent Journalism (CIJ); 2200 Wilson Blvd.; Suite 102-231; Arlington VA 22201. (You can find a mail-in donation form by clicking here.) (For readers using PayPal, you can address your contribution to our account, named after our e-mail address, “[email protected]”). We also will count toward the $100,000 goal all discount sales of the three-book set (Lost History, Secrecy & Privilege, and Neck Deep). For details on this offer, click here. (This is a great way for small donors to help out – and get a fantastic deal on these three important books.) And, we will count any commitments for “Bob and Ray” talks by investigative reporter Robert Parry and former CIA analyst Ray McGovern. The price for these talks can range from $2,000 for community groups to $10,000 for business groups. For details on scheduling a talk, click here. At this crucial moment – as the United States teeters between sanity and more craziness – please help us so we can continue doing our part in building a truthful foundation upon which a strong and rational democracy can rise. Thanks. Robert Parry broke many of the Iran-Contra stories in the 1980s for the Associated Press and Newsweek. He founded Consortiumnews.com in 1995 as the Internet's first investigative magazine. He saw it as a way to combine modern technology and old-fashioned journalism to counter the increasing triviality of the mainstream U.S. news media. To comment at Consortiumblog, click here.
