Independent, nonprofit Mother Jones leads the rest of the media in smart, fearless reporting. That's why veteran political journalist Dave Weigel recently said "the power of the Mother Jones scoop machine is immense and shows no signs of diminishing."
But we need your help: The Mother Jones Investigative Fund is $70,000 short, and we have to fill the gap in the next two weeks.
There's an urgent need for our truth-telling investigative reporting. Think: the upcoming midterm elections, nearly unlimited campaign donations, surveillance…who do you trust to bring you the truth? If you value our independent voice, please donate $5 to our investigative fund.
We only have two weeks to fill the gap. If each person reading this sentence gave just $5, we'd beat our goal within the hour.
Please help. It takes less than 60 seconds to make your tax-deductible donation, and you can give on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Please donate now via credit card or PayPal. [READ MORE]
