Liberal! Socialist! Fascist! Marxist! Democrat! Moonbat! Muslim! Obamacare! Enemy! Terrorist!
>From The Nation Liberal! Socialist! Fascist! Marxist! If you're a progressive of any kind, centrist to leftist, you're a target. The mouthpieces of the far right will sling any mud they can to brand you and frighten you. And us. The corporate-owned media (and Fox News) aren't going to fight it. Whatever kind of muck and lies Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin spouts is going to make the headlines as "news." Who's not whimpering and apologizing? Who's not being distracted from the real job of digging through the dirt and exposing both the tactics and the endgame? The Nation. Still. Of course. Won't you make an end of year contribution to keep us publishing? We knew all this was coming. But not how fast and how virulent. Nor did we realize how much it would cost us to conduct our investigations and carry on as the voice of the opposition in this political climate. We have not had to cut back the minimal staff or bare bones expenses that we need to cover to publish week after week. Yet. That's because we are not dependent solely on advertisers, or economically wounded foundations. Fully 25% of our funding comes from supporters like you. Now, facing a looming deficit -- nearly all of it brought on by the outrageous escalation in postal rates pushed through by Time Warner lobbyists and their cadre of big-bucks loyalists -- we're worried. The Nation depends for its survival on contributions from readers who want to see us continue to publish. The future is perilous. We badly need support. Please let me know quickly that The Nation can count on yours by making an end of year contribution to The Nation today. Sincerely, Teresa Stack President, The Nation P.S. Nobody owns The Nation. But a very special group of "investors" known as Nation Builders contribute $1,000 or more each year to underwrite our unique brand of journalism. Nation Builders receive an Ed Koren illustrated stock certificate, a sterling silver lapel pin, are invited to special investor events and receive regular communication from me.
