I have never in the years I've been associated with this forum or Al Gore.org ask anyone to donate to any cause. I have myself and always for good reason but I am asking now. Good, true news is so hard to find these days that it must be preserved. We must continue to educate ourselves in the truth for there is so little out there.

I have found over the years a source, consortiumnews.com that is just such a source and I fear we may lose it. I am personally giving $100.00 to help keep it going. I am not asking this of you because of the hard times we face in todays world. But $1.00 will help more than you can know. I am posting the notice sent by consortiumnew.com now. Please take the time to read it and if you have the time check out some of the articles they have written.

Thank You,
Al Burt

Mid-Year Fundraising Goal: $25,000

So far, we are only one-fifth of the way toward our mid-year fundraising goal of $25,000, far short of what's needed to keep this 11-year-old investigative Web site alive.

You can help by making a tax-deductible donation, either by a credit card online or by mailing a check. For readers wanting to use PayPal, you can address contributions to our account, which is named "consortnew@aol.com."

We also are getting close to publication of our new book on George W. Bush's presidency, entitled Neck Deep. For donations of $100 or more, you can reserve a signed gift copy or you can receive Robert Parry's earlier books, Lost History or Secrecy & Privilege. (Please specify your choice with your donation.)
