What happened to Spring? WHERE ARE OUR DONATIONS??

James Fulford writes: We've received nearly 17,000 dollars of our fairly modest 25, 000 goal, and nearly eleven hundred dollars in PayPal Donations today. But we're not quite done, so please keep giving!

Felicity Needs New Mittens

Felicity needs new mittens!

 


There are reports of unseasonable snow in the Northeast tonight.  We’re feeling the chill here at VDARE.com too.

Our annual Spring Fundraising drive, which is absolutely necessary because of the annual summer cash drought between the contributions of our heroic major donors, started off well enough. (Many thanks to our loyal friends).

But now it’s stalled. Maybe we cannibalized our donations by pointing our readers to John Derbyshire’s donation link after he was abruptly fired from National Review for Political Incorrectness in another venue—while undergoing treatment for cancer­—and supporting a family—after 15 years of stellar service.

(No wonder Ann Coulter called the NR editors “girly-boys.”)

We don’t care about that. We’d do it again.  In fact, we are doing it again—by providing a link by which you can earmark (tax-deductible!) help for us to finance the columns we hope John Derbyshire will write for us—when his chemotherapy allows him to.

Nevertheless, we MUST reach $25,000 (not counting earmarks) in this Spring Fundraiser—preferably, $30.000. At present, we have some $15-$16,000 (counting checks, which come in slowly).

I HATE keeping VDARE.com closed:

(Talking of which, this just in from Main Stream Media poohbah Michael Barone, a confirmed VDARE.com foe: “The argument that Republicans need additional support from Latinos may be overstated. The 2010 exit poll shows Republicans won 38 percent of the Latino vote—and that that was enough for a national majority, since they carried whites by a record 60 to 37 percent”. Duh! You heard it on VDARE.com first).

But we can do none of this without our readers’ help. And, alas, we have discovered that only closing VDARE.com completely brings in significant donations.

A further point: I know that some VDARE.com readers think they have heard enough about Abraham Lincoln.

But Lincoln was a great phrase-maker.

And just as he said at Gettysburg that “we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure,”  so (in a humble way) we at VDARE.com are now testing whether truth-telling journalism—independent of corporate sponsorship, advertisers or Establishment foundations—can continue, funded entirely by its readers.

PLEASE GIVE NOW!

A final, personal note: I have two reasons for leading this appeal with a picture of my daughter Felicity, now 18 months old.

I almost certainly won’t be here—I’m 64—although I’ll do my best.

But as long as I have strength, I will fight to protect the future of my child.

And yours.

And America’s.

Help us now!
