Help Us Through These Hard Times
By Robert Parry
June 16, 2009

A troubling part of today’s media financial crisis is that many brave voices that challenged George W. Bush when it was dangerous to do so – like our own Consortiumnews.com – are struggling to survive, while many of the pro-Bush outlets (and others that played it safe) are in much better shape.

First, you can make a tax-deductible donation either by credit card online or by sending a check to: Consortium for Independent Journalism (CIJ); 2200 Wilson Blvd.: Suite 102-231; Arlington VA 22201.

You also can sign up for a monthly donation if that works better for your budget. Or you can make a donation by PayPal to our account which uses our e-mail address: [e-mail].

(If anyone can offer a matching grant of a several thousand dollars, that could be a huge help. Last year, we had great success with a matching grant as readers met the challenge and thus doubled the value of their donations.)

Second, you can arrange a local fundraiser by inviting Ray McGovern and me to speak as a duo, representing the new alliance we are building between honest CIA veterans and honest American journalists. (I’m also available to speak alone, but it’s a lot better if you have Ray there, too.)

For details on how to arrange one of our talks, click here.

Third, you can buy the three-volume set (Lost History, Secrecy & Privilege and Neck Deep) for your local or school library for the 3-for-1 price of only $25, with $5 of each purchase going to support the Web site.

(To learn more about this special offer, click here. It would help, too, if someone would help us get the books cleared by whatever national library associations give out seals of approval.)

Fourth, you can forward our e-mail story alerts to friends who might be interested. We now have an e-mail list of about 8,000. We’d like to double it.

As always, thanks for your support.

Robert Parry broke many of the Iran-Contra stories in the 1980s for the Associated Press and Newsweek. He founded Consortiumnews.com in 1995 as the Internet's first investigative magazine. He saw it as a way to combine modern technology and old-fashioned journalism to counter the increasing triviality of the mainstream U.S. news media.
