. . . who will send us this. Or the 2018 version of this beauty of yore.

As of this morning, we stand at approximately $190,000 in donations to our Fall 2018 Webathon. The “we” is National Review, which — unless you have serious short-term memory issues — played a major role in kicking the Left in its big, sharp teeth during the Battle of Kavanaugh (as Rich Lowry delineated with his usual brilliance). Let’s do the math: Seventy good conservatives sending $500 each in a generous contribution — to support our ace political reporters and analysts keep up the steady stream of informative copy that you thrive on and rely on, especially during these last two weeks as we head into the November elections — will get us to our goal of $225,000.

But maybe that is a big stretch for you? If so, don’t think for a moment that we won’t be thrilled by a gift of $100, whether it is via credit or card or on paper adorned by Ben Franklin (alas, the ornate old version with torpedoes-damning Admiral Farragut is no longer legal tender).

And not being obtuse, we know that that too ($100) can be a stretch. Maybe you would like to give, but your means can only sport a picture of Abe.

(Gosh, our old currency is pretty, no?) So be it. We deeply appreciate any and all generosity, and we are conscious of the fact that we have not an iota of claim to it. But as we are in this cause together, whether conservatives struggling or conservatives mighty comfortable, it’s important that the main voice of the issues central to our beliefs, National Review, be kept fully supplied as it wages battle against those whose fevered dreams are about making our rights very alienable.

Please give to our webathon, done securely here. And know that if you prefer to send a check, you should make it payable to “National review” and mail it to: National Review, ATTN: Fall 2018 Webathon, 19 West 44th Street, Suite 1701, New York, NY 10036. Thank you!
