Republican Shenanigans

Here are a few links from our net-surfer at large, Ian Kallen:

Bob Dole’s reply to the State of the Union speech is on-line.

Banter regarding everyone’s favorite potatoe friar, the intellectual shining light of the Republican Party Dan Quayle can be read in the newsgroup alt.fan.dan-quayle.

And if you are one of those very few people who don’t have access to his radio show, that airwave curmudgeon Rush Limbaugh‘s followers are in the bandwidth! (alt.fan.rush-limbaugh)

Not everyone will have access to the above newsgroups, so some of you poor souls will miss out. Harangue your system administrator if you’re really desperate to read these rantings.

WE CAME UP SHORT.

We just wrapped up a shorter-than-normal, urgent-as-ever fundraising drive and we came up about $45,000 short of our $300,000 goal.

That means we're going to have upwards of $350,000, maybe more, to raise in online donations between now and June 30, when our fiscal year ends and we have to get to break-even. And even though there's zero cushion to miss the mark, we won't be all that in your face about our fundraising again until June.

So we urgently need this specific ask, what you're reading right now, to start bringing in more donations than it ever has. The reality, for these next few months and next few years, is that we have to start finding ways to grow our online supporter base in a big way—and we're optimistic we can keep making real headway by being real with you about this.

Because the bottom line: Corporations and powerful people with deep pockets will never sustain the type of journalism Mother Jones exists to do. The only investors who won’t let independent, investigative journalism down are the people who actually care about its future—you.

And we hope you might consider pitching in before moving on to whatever it is you're about to do next. We really need to see if we'll be able to raise more with this real estate on a daily basis than we have been, so we're hoping to see a promising start.
