Oh, and by the way, we're still doing that AMERICAblog fundraising this week

I kind of forget this is fundraising week for AMERICAblog. Not for body armor, but for ye olde blog itself.

As you may know, this is now my full time job and sole source of income. I also am paying my regular writers what I can. And we're moving over to a new server, redesigning the entire blog, creating our own software to run the blog, and will need a part-time tech guy managing the site from here on out (that and the hosting will cost us around $2500 a month). So, that's why we're holding monthly fundraisers. The ad revenues are picking up, which is great, and at some point I'd like the ad revenues to be the sole source of income for the blog, using the fundraising from you guys to be for only special projects like the body armor, or helping us launch a particular campaign, or help support a particular candidate. But in the meantime, we need both.

So, if the spirit moves you, consider contributing - think of us as any other magazine your subscribe to, or any other advocacy group you donate to. Except we're cuter.

Thanks so much, JOHN
