Ron Paul: You must read Antiwar.com." [We can't read it if it doesn't exist!]

Please donate what you can! They already had to cut the Scott Horton show last quarter.

Ron Paul, America's premier champion of liberty and peace says "I tell my staff to go to Antiwar.com every morning to keep up with the day's events."

But what happens if, one morning, they go to Antiwar.com – and it isn't there?

That's just what will happen if we don't make our fundraising goal. So please, help us educate the American people and reverse our bipartisan foreign policy of global intervention.

Make your tax-deductible contribution today.

In the first seven days of our fund drive, you contributed $16,212. Please help us reach our goal to keep Antiwar.com running for the next quarter.

That is terrible!

[Lucille]

Success! Thanks for donating to Antiwar.com.

Donated $25.00.

I'm broke. :(

I gave $50. HB, you can claim $25 of that, but you have to pitch in at some point in the future.

"I tell my staff to go to Antiwar.com every morning to keep up with the day's events." - Ron Paul

Antiwar.com stands outside the Washington bipartisan consensus for reckless, expansionist, dangerous foreign policy,
and thus gets no big corporate or foundation support. We rely on our readers to help us keep the establishment's feet to the fire.
Keeping on top of the warfare state in all its manifestations requires constant alertness, and we can't do it without your help.

Adding to the bottom of the op of each of the threads I have running on the middle east.

I'll be donating later this week. It quite possibly could be the best website around.

So are we saved yet? Well, not exactly….

Here's how it works: A group of generous donors has pledged $28,000 dollars to keep Antiwar.com afloat – but ONLY if we can match it with smaller individual donations.

That's where you come in…

This fundraiser has been hair-raising, to say the least. Our daily intake has been the lowest ever. The reality is that we can't continue in this way much longer.

Without your matching funds donation, we will be forced to make huge cutbacks, imperiling our coverage and our mission. That mission is to change the direction of our crazy interventionist foreign policy – and nothing less than a complete 180 degree about-face is what's required. We need to bring our troops back from the four corners of the earth pronto – because our future as a free and prosperous commonwealth, and the future of our children, depends on it.

But we just can't do it without an immediate infusion of cash. We need you to make your tax-deductible contribution today – because tomorrow this country could well be immersed in yet another wealth-destroying people-destroying liberty-destroying war.

The cavalry has arrived – but the battle is very far from over. So please – make your tax-deductible donation today.

[angelatc]

Seriously people. AntiWar.com is the closest thing to LibertyTV we have right now.

I gave $50. HB, you can claim $25 of that, but you have to pitch in at some point in the future. Thanks, gorgeous! ~hugs~ If this thread is still bumped in a month or 2 when I'm done paying off these unexpected expenses down, I'll throw some FRNs in the pot. :cool:

[Tinnuhana]

They only need $50,000 more?
Has anyone posted on C4L about this donation drive? Is this something the anti-war left would support? A coalition.
Pay day is tomorrow.

Justin thinks the fundraising has been so slow because of the prog sell-outs (http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2012/11/25/obama-as-wilson-playing-the-historical-analogy-game/).

We're going to cut right to the chase: unless we receive a major influx of contributions in the next few days, we're going to have to cut our tiny staff of seven – and that means the effective end of the kind of coverage you're used to from Antiwar.com.

It doesn't have to be this way – but you must act now.

Our creditors aren't knocking at the door – they're breaking it down.

For the first time in almost two decades, we are so far below our break-even point that we are at the edge of insolvency. The irony is that we have a bigger audience than ever before – and the need for Antiwar.com has never been greater.

We are living in some pretty tough times, and they'll get even tougher if the war plans of our rulers go unopposed. And the War Party is on the warpath: Syria and Iran are next.

Another war in the Middle East will send gas prices – all prices – soaring: in short, the next war will knock the world economy for a loop, and you with it.

Public pressure can stop the rush to war, but an uninformed public is easily misled. We've been through that before.

Don't let it happen again!

Your donation to Antiwar.com is tax-deductible, which means you have a choice: you can give your hard-earned dollars to the warmongers, or you can give it to the peacemakers. Please make your contribution today.

They're about 30K short.

I saw in the email that they have a junk car program. I might ask DH if we can give our old Escort for the cause. It only needs a transmission, which is actually really simple fix in this model. I was going to stick one in it and hand it off to my older son, but I've grown weary trying to locate a transmission that doesn't cost more than the car is worth.

That is so generous, Angela!


Against Trotskyite builders of sects, and white-wine-and-brie limousine liberals who hate conservatives more than they hate war, Cockburn fought for a united left-right front against the War Party.

We are working to build just such an alliance (http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2012/11/25/obama-as-wilson-playing-the-historical-analogy-game/) — of liberals temperamentally opposed to war, and of conservatives increasingly skeptical of the interventionist project in general — but we can’t continue our work if we can’t pay the bills. And that is just what it has come to.

The desertion of the “progressives,” and their defection to the Obama cult, is no doubt a major factor in the so far disappointing results of our winter fundraising drive. We don’t have eccentric billionaires of the left or right funding our operation — and yet we manage to reach millions every year, around the globe, with our message of peace. We’ve been able to do it because of people like you, our readers and supporters, who have generously contributed to Antiwar.com over the years.

This year, however, we appear to have run over a speed bump, in large part I believe due to the reelection of Obama and the Grand Bargain the once-anti-interventionist liberals made with the Democratic party.

The terms of that deal, in short: deliver on the liberal domestic agenda, and we’ll shut up when it comes to foreign policy and civil liberties. The President’s successful campaign was entirely dependent on the progressives keeping their part of the bargain, and no doubt their complicity will continue well into his second term.

In any bargain, each party thinks they’re getting something for relatively nothing: that’s why they call it selling out. The sell-out of the limousine liberals on the vital question of war and peace is hitting Antiwar.com where it hurts — but it doesn’t have to hurt quite so much.

You can help us revive the spirit of the Real Left, and — while we’re at it — reawaken the American spirit of opposition to a foreign policy based on domination: a dissent shared by many conservatives in Obama’s America. Your tax-deductible donation ensures that the flame of peace and liberty never goes out.

There are some strong winds blowing that make our fundraising efforts all the more difficult. The economy is bad and — no matter what they tell you — getting worse. Times are tough, and donations to nonprofits like us — as opposed to the big corporate nonprofits — are hard hit. Please help us survive these storm winds — make your tax-deductible contribution today.

I gave my standard 10 bucks to just about anyone that asks.

No, we aren't there yet. And we don't have corporate sponsors helping us reach our goal.

Only you, our readers, can get us there.

We're approaching the last hurdle. If you help us raise $12,000, this fund drive will be over. Otherwise, the antiwar news and commentary you rely on will have to start making cuts.

If every one of our daily readers donates just $5, we'll far exceed our goal this quarter. Even in a down economy, $5 is a minor offering to keep Antiwar.com – now a 17-year project opposing war and empire – up and running.

Donations are tax deductible. So instead of funding the Pentagon, help us continue to expose the war-mongers and undermine the power-brokers in Washington. Donate now!

Just donated $10 and wish I could do more! Antiwar.com and Lew Rockwell are my #1 websites!

Almost there!
