In over eight years, the Jackson Progressive has never asked for contributions, nor has it ever earned a dime from the Amazon ads on the sidebar. I fund it out of my own pocket, and consider it my contribution to the public conversation.

Greg Palast, whose book appears in the sidebar, is, in my opinion, one of the most important independent journalists in the world. More than any other single reporter, Palast has uncovered and reported the massive criminality and fraud of the Bush administration and its oil-besotted, election-stealing, kleptocratic underwriters, co-conspirators, enablers, abettors, and sycophants. The documented facts set out in Palast's book Armed Madhouse, by themselves, would, in a just world, lead to at least three impeachments--beginning with George W. Bush--and hundreds of indictments.



I was therefore upset when I learned that the Palast Investigative Fund is out of money. His organization is being forced to lay off people and shut down vital projects, at least temporarily.

So I'm asking, no, begging, you to give money.

Immediately.

Palast's work is simply too important to the life of our republic to let it fail. The fund is tax-exempt under Section 510(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. I gave money and will probably be giving more.
