Are you someone who comes to NR several times a day. I need you to work with me here. Check out the convincing appeal made by Alexandra DeSanctis today on behalf of our Fall 2018 Webathon (we’re seeking $225,000-plus to keep the lights on, the pencils sharpened, and the ace political reporters ace-ly reporting).

To date nearly 1,900 committed conservatives – people who understand that NR is vital and imperative – have donated between $10,000.00 (two kind souls) and $2. Heck, the mail today from even brought an envelope from Norway including a very cool 500-kroner note (that’s about $60.58US).

We understand: Sometimes it takes a while to reach for the wallet. For example, yesterday our pal “Anonymous” sent $100 and felt the need to admit this:

“I’m 71 years old, life-long conservative, and this is my first donation to a political cause. Never felt the urgent need before.”

Thanks Anon, and it is urgent. For us as regards our institutional needs, but also for us – and for you — for the sake of our beliefs, given the relentless attacks by the unhinged Left on the causes we hold dear and on the principles at the core of the Great Experiment we call America.

If you are someone who spends a lot of time on NRO every day, but has never contributed to our webathon appeals, let me ask: Isn’t all of what we do – on behalf of the things you hold dear – worth something to you, given the many hours (days! weeks!) you have dwelt here in actual time? Isn’t it worth . . . $100? How about . . . $50? If it is, please make a contribution. Do that here.

Even if you are a notorious tightwad, I urge you to spot us $10. Challenge yourself to do the right thing. You know you want to, that you need to. Just do it! You will be surprised how good it will make you feel.
