For the past 15 years, Consortiumnews.com has done all it could to tell the truth about both the present and the recent past. With a very modest budget, we have produced thousands of original and well-edited articles about many of the biggest issues of our time.

Indeed, we may be the best bargain in journalism, considering the quantity and quality of our work. [To make a tax-deductible donation, click here.]

Yet, despite all our cost-cutting and economies, we are running up against a financial wall. We must raise between $40,000 and $50,000 in our mid-year fundraiser if we are to continue.

And our future is entirely up to you. We need donations – small, medium-sized and big.

Since we are nearly out of money, the first $2,000 we raise will go to pay Ray McGovern and some other writers who produce original work for Consortiumnews.com (material that is then re-posted by many other sites across the Internet). The next $1,000 in donations will go to keep afloat our modest health-insurance program.

Here are five ways you can help:

--By donating either by credit card at the Web site or by check – to Consortium for Independent Journalism (CIJ); Suite 102-231; 2200 Wilson Blvd.; Arlington VA 22201. Or you can use PayPal (our account is named after our e-mail address “[email protected]”).

(Our parent organization, Consortium for Independent Journalism, is a 501-c-3 non-profit, so your contributions can be tax-deductible.)

--By signing up for a monthly donation. With contributions of $10 or more a month, you can qualify for war correspondent Don North’s new DVD, “Yesterday’s Enemies” about the lives of former Salvadoran guerrillas. For details, click here.

--By buying the three-book set of Robert Parry’s Lost History, Secrecy & Privilege, and Neck Deep (co-authored with Sam and Nat Parry). The discount price for the set is only $29. For details, click here.

--By ordering an entire box of Neck Deep for possible use in your own fundraiser. For only $110 (postage included), you can get either a box of 22 hard-cover copies or 28 paperback copies.

What makes Neck Deep especially timely is that it examines how the United States blundered into the Bush-43 presidency, just as the nation appears ready to hand the Congress back to his followers.

To take this option, just make a donation for $110, followed up by an e-mail to [email protected] giving your choice (hard-cover or paperback) and your mailing address. Or send a check to The Media Consortium; Suite 102-231; 2200 Wilson Blvd.; Arlington VA 22201. (For non-U.S. orders, add $50 for extra postage.)

--By scheduling a joint speech by former CIA analyst Ray McGovern and journalist Robert Parry. The suggested fees – $2,000 for community groups, $5,000 for colleges and larger non-profits, and $10,000 for those who can afford it – go entirely to keeping Consortiumnews.com alive.

Whether Consortiumnews.com can continue as a voice for reason and reality – at a time that desperately needs both – depends entirely on you.

Thanks for your support.

Robert Parry, Editor

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.
