Okay,
we've been patient. We haven't harangued you, guilt-tripped
you, or even really badgered you all that much – but now…
This
is an emergency alert. No kidding. Look – just look!
– at that thermometer. It's waaaay short of mission
accomplished. If this goes on, we'll be reduced to bare
bones, if not finished entirely. You'll see BIG cutbacks –
in coverage, quality, and attention to detail. That means
less original reporting, less diversity of authors, less of
everything that makes Antiwar.com unique.
And this
comes at a time when we need to be at our best – because the
international situation really does merit an emergency
alert! All too many serious
analysts and insiders
are convinced that President Bush plans on attacking Iran
before his term is out. Who will keep you informed?
Remember
all those times you found a story on Antiwar.com that made
it all fall into place: it might have been a news story you
hadn't seen anywhere else, or an opinion column that gave
you some new insight. How much is that worth? If you come
to Antiwar.com every day to find out what's really going on,
what would you do without it?
Just because
we've been providing an indispensable service for over a decade
doesn't mean we're financially secure. The truth is, we survive
solely on donations,
most of them 50 bucks or less, from our readers. The War Party
has ridiculously
large
amounts
of cash at its disposal; we live hand to mouth.
Yet we
have managed to exert a degree of influence on public opinion
far out of proportion to our financial resources. With Antiwar.com,
donors get a mighty big bang for their buck. We just need
to reach that magic number – $70,000. That will at least get
us through the crucial days ahead, when someone
must debunk the pro-war narrative.
Give
as much as you can, and give it now.
