We know you are sick of this stalker box. We get it. But we have no choice but to bug you. If we don’t reach our modest fund drive goal the CounterPunch site itself will have to be scaled back dramatically. Why? Because it costs a lot of money to keep it running. We have 2 million readers a month and that eats up bandwidth, which isn’t cheap. There is good news, however: We are getting VERY close to the finish line. If you can chip in, we’ll likely reach our goal soon. When we do, this note will come down. If you’ve donated, we thank you, if you haven’t, please consider dropping us a few bucks. And if you can give $100 or more a generous CounterPuncher will match your donation. What are you waiting for?
