>From the editors:
Help expose all the facts on Palin!
As the 2008 election comes down to the wire, AlterNet is operating at full
throttle to serve your information needs. From the sleaze to the inspiration,
from the issues to voter suppression, we're covering it all, especially the
shocking nomination of Sarah Palin. Over the last two months, millions of
people have come to AlterNet to read about the pratfalls and far-right ideas of
McCain's VP choice. We've probably organized more information on Sarah Palin
than anywhere else on the web .
Now is the home stretch. But because of the global financial meltdown, our
budget is quickly shrinking just as we need to be going all out. Will you help
us finish the year with a bang?

We could really use your support.
Thanks for all you do,
Don Hazen, Executive Editor
