Our newsletter is free. But you can help us do more at a fraction of the cost that parties & politicians ask you to support. Less than 1% of the subscribers to this newsletter are paid subscribers. Our goal is to get 10%. Why? We need a part-time copyeditor, part-time video editor, part-time podcast editor, and part-time social media manager to enable me to do more. Wearing all of those hats limits so much more that could be accomplished.
When you become a paid subscriber to our newsletter (less than a cup of coffee a month), you get full access to read my 5 books and all books I subsequently write (I’m working on 3 more for 2024). More importantly, you are supporting so much more than a newsletter. You are supporting every platform where we are seeding the internet with truthful progressive information to counteract the paid lies of the Right.
