The
funereal imagery isn't meant as a metaphor. We don't want
to scare you – but we will if we have to.
Truth
be told, Antiwar.com may be on its deathbed.
Antiwar.com
is on life-support – and its vital signs are flickering between
life and death. We haven't even begun to approach the make-or-break
fundraising goal of $70,000 we need to keep going – and we're
running out of precious time.
Make no
mistake: we will shut down if contributions continue to come
in at the present pathetic rate. Our small staff will have
to be laid off, and we won't be able to run the Web site you've
come to depend on for the real story behind Washington's war
plans. Antiwar.com will cease to exist: it's just that simple
– unless you step up to the plate.
Instead
of sending more money to the U.S. government to spend on warplanes
and weapons of mass destruction, wouldn't you rather send
your tax-deductible donation to Antiwar.com?
Antiwar.com
is facing extinction. Our last and only alternative is to
turn to you, our readers. Over the years you've come through
for us when the till was nearly empty – and now we're counting
on you to do it, once again, and bail us out of an untenable
situation.
That last
italicized word is key to understanding our predicament: we
may survive a week or so if we fail to make our goal of $70,000.
But not much beyond that. We're down to the wire, and that's
the truth. Believe us, we wouldn't make this kind of desperate
appeal if our continued survival weren't at stake.
Don't
delay – contribute today!
