I have been gravely ill with fourth stage lung cancer for two years, fighting to not only survive physically but as a voice for Antiwar.com. A good way to bring myself down to earth is with an old Italian recipe and chat with the neighbors. They don't make make 'em like that any more. And I have brought plenty of that principled nonintervention stuff to you, our readers.

My neighbors are so kind and open hearted. That's how I think of my readers – like neighbors, old friends, many of whom I haven't seen or talked to in a while. Well, I'm still, folks, still writing and hanging in there. Life goes on: I must write this fundraising pitch as the site continues to grow and reach more people. I may not be the best fundraiser, but I think you understand the spirit in which I write this note.

With Venezuela, Russia, the conflation of multiple "crises" breaking out, this letter is not a panic but a way to reconnect in a personal way with my readers, steadfast and loyal supporters.

You are the reason I must continue my personal and ideological fight.

Please help me win this fight.
