Produced in cooperation with the International Society for Individual Liberty http://www.isil.org ---------------------------------------------------------- Volume IV, Issue #955 Monday, August 7th, 2006 Email Circulation 2,004 Dear readers, It's "Web-Only Monday" -- 25 news stories and 35 commentaries (including pieces from David Weigel, Butler Shaffer, Claire Wolfe, Joey B. King, Jim Peron, Ilana Mercer, Lady Liberty, Justin Raimondo, David Boaz, L. Neil Smith, Lew Rockwell, Richard W. Rahn, Kaye Grogan, Sheldon Richman (x2!), Andrew Scull, Paul J. Gessing, Nick Gillespie and others at: http://www.rationalreview.com/news As you may (or may not) have noticed, we launched our summer fundraiser last week. So far, four new subscribing contributors (thanks, MB, MA, LC and DN!) have added $20 per month to our "recurring revenue base," and two fine individuals (thanks, RN and HH!) have made "one-time" contributions totaling $75. We appreciate our supporters and thank them deeply ... but we need more of you. This fundraiser is off to a slow start. Let me reiterate: Your "continuing contribution" of even $2.50 cents per month DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Our goal for this fundraiser is to boost our recurring "value for value" receipts to $1,000 per month. If one out of 20 readers responds at the "lowest" level offered, we're there. Will you be one of that 5%? Here's the URL for setting up your "subscription" at the $2.50, $5, $10 or $20 monthly level: http://www.rationalreview.com/content/15649 If you'd like to make a "one-time" payment, see the sidebar of any page at rationalreview.com. Alternatively, the International Society for Individual Liberty has a targeted donation program to support our production of Freedom News Daily: http://www.isil.org/store/membership.html#FMN Libertarian fundraising is a tough arena. No matter when we launch our fundraisers, we know that we're "in competition" with other worthwhile organizations. On the other hand, we're not asking for much. We fill a small, but we believe important, niche in the movement. That means we can operate on a correspondingly smaller -- but JUST AS IMPORTANT -- bottom line. Please help us meet that bottom line so that we can continue bringing you "your daily libertarian newspaper."
