Consortiumnews.com is one of the few Internet sites that pays its writers (what we can) for original content -- and unlike some sites that do, we don't have the luxury of relying on one deep-pocket donor.

We normally make these payments from our small general fund that we try to replenish in quarterly fund drives. However, our mid-year fund drive has stalled at less than one-quarter of its modest goal of $40,000.

So, if you can, please help with one of the following five fundraising ideas, so we can raise the $2,500 needed to make small payments this month (not nearly what they deserve) to writers Ray McGovern, Lisa Pease, Dennis Bernstein and others.

First option: You can make a donation, big or small. You can do so 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.)

Second, if you’d rather spread out your support in smaller amounts, you can sign 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.

Third, you can take advantage of our deep discount for the three-book set of Robert Parry’s Lost History, Secrecy & Privilege, and Neck Deep (co-authored with Sam and Nat Parry). The price for the set is only $29. Our goal is to sell at least 500 more sets to make way for a new book. For details, click here.

Fourth, you can order an entire box of Neck Deep for 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. That’s $5 or less per book, so it can be resold for profit or used as a thank-you gift.

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.)

Fifth, you can schedule 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 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.
