From Editor Robert Parry: We came close to meeting our $25,000 goal for the spring fund drive with entirely small- to medium-sized donations. Thanks so much to everyone who was able to contribute! For anyone who still wants to donate, we will continue our DVD/book gift offer for the next two weeks.
You can make a tax-deductible donation by using a credit card online (we accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover) or you can mail a check to Consortium for Independent Journalism (CIJ); 2200 Wilson Blvd., Suite 102-231; Arlington VA 22201.
For readers wanting to use PayPal, you can address contributions to our account, which is named after our e-mail address: “consortnew @ aol.com”. We are also registered with PayPal’s Giving Fund under the name Consortium for Independent Journalism. (Since we are a 501-c-3 non-profit, donations by American taxpayers may be tax-deductible.)
We are offering as a thank-you gift for donations of $125 or more a book and a DVD on how two pivotal presidential elections – 1968 and 1980 – were distorted by what look to be near-treasonous schemes to undermine U.S. negotiations with foreign governments. (Neither of these well-documented cases was touched by CNN in its series of electoral dirty-dealing.)
But you can review the evidence yourself by getting a signed copy of my latest book, America’s Stolen Narrative, and a DVD of a PBS documentary that I co-wrote entitled “The Election Held Hostage.” (If you want the gift set, please follow up your donation with an e-mail to us at [email protected] with instructions on where to mail it. We’ll pay the shipping charges.)
Again, thanks for your support and for making our two decades of honest journalism possible.
