FUNDRAISING!….Among other casualties of John McCain’s recent descent into mental breakdown, you can add the fundraising drive we were planning to hold this week. See, the plan was to make up a bingo card thingie with words and phrases you were likely to hear at Friday’s debate — sort of a drinking game for politicals dorks — and invite everyone to go to our fundraising page and download it. Oh, and maybe throw a few bucks our way while you’re there.

So what now? Well, the bingo card is already finished. And we still need money to support our (suprisingly expensive!) commitment to in-depth, original, up-to-the-minute reporting on the campaign. Real journalism ain’t cheap, and we need your support to keep it up.

So click here to help us out and download your bingo card. After all, maybe everything will get resolved at the big 4 pm summit in the White House and St. John will deign to debate the issues Friday night after all. If that happens, we’ve got you covered.

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

December is make or break for us. A full one-third of our annual fundraising comes in this month alone. A strong December means our newsroom is on the beat and reporting at full strength. A weak one means budget cuts and hard choices ahead.

The December 31 deadline is closing in fast. To reach our $400,000 goal, we need readers who’ve never given before to join the ranks of MoJo donors. And we need our steadfast supporters to give again today—any amount.

Managing an independent, nonprofit newsroom is staggeringly hard. There’s no cushion in our budget—no backup revenue, no corporate safety net. We can’t afford to fall short, and we can’t rely on corporations or deep-pocketed interests to fund the fierce, investigative journalism Mother Jones exists to do.

That’s why we need you right now. Please chip in to help close the gap.
