Brodner’s Person of the Day: The Conservative Movement

Test Ticker

Monika Bauerlein,
CEO

Dear Reader,

December is make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising. We have a $350,000 goal that we simply cannot afford to miss. And in "No Cute Headlines or Manipulative BS," we explain, as matter-of-fact as we can, how being a nonprofit means everything to us. Bottom line: Donations big and small make up 74 percent of our budget this year and are urgently needed this month, and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal. Please pitch in if you can right now.

December is make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and in "No Cute Headlines or Manipulative BS," we hope that giving it to you as matter-of-fact as we can will work to raise the $350,000 we need to raise this month. Donations make up 74 percent of our budget this year, and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal.

T-Shirt Proposal of the Day

The collapse of the I-35 bridge in Minneapolis, along with New York’s recent underground explosion/subway shutdown (not to mention the widespread loss of New Orleans), beg the question: How do we like our tax cuts and wars so far? Here’s a poster/T-shirt I’d be delighted for someone to help produce. It’s time we get busy linking this rot with its root cause: the very successful U.S. Conservative Movement.

PS: Bush announced yesterday that he will propose further tax cuts very soon.
