Two days into our 2nd Annual Pledge Drive we’re more than a third of the way toward our $6,000 target with slightly less than five days remaining. That’s great, and I thank all 33 donors for your generosity. But so far, only 33 of you have contributed, and that’s well below where I’d hoped to be at this point in the fund drive.
Reaching our goal is particularly crucial because it will give me the breathing space I need to continue developing the new HA, bringing you expanded content, new interface features, reader blogs and more. I have rededicated myself toward taking HA to the next level, but I also need to pay my bills; only with your help can I afford to do both.
Only $40 each from 150 donors — less than 5-percent of my typical daily readership — is enough to reach our goal, but I certainly understand that not everybody can afford to be so generous, so please give whatever you can afford. A ten dollar donation brings us ten dollars closer, and lets me know that you appreciate all the hard work I put in to making HA the most widely read and influential progressive political blog in WA state. Thank you for your support.

Do we get a lapel flag pin for donating? I want to be a real American.
slingshot @2,
Maybe next year I’ll give away mugs or tote bags.
This is funny Goldy, hardly any posts. Don’t
you know that democrats want everything for “free”, including you. HA is right.
I still think you have a good site though,
and it works good.

No…I’ve never seen or experienced that. (And given that you are commenting on Goldy’s blog, it would seem that you are the one taking something for nothing).
I rather suspect you’ve been brainwashed by right-wing wing-ding radio, Mark.
Seek de-programming help quickly!
Just out of curiosity, and without naming names (to protect their right wing cred) do many trolls contribute? They sure take up their share of bandwith. And really that’s what contributors are supporting here, right? – their right to spew, regardless of persuasion.
@6,
I don’t contribute. I don’t like using my credit or debit card online. I would contribute if there was a P.O. Box I could send money to, but there isn’t.
