We Got There, but Can We Do a Little More?

We surpassed our goal for our webathon last night. Including the match, we’ve raised $210,000 over seven business days, or $30,000 a day. That’s fantastic, but forgive me for getting a little greedy. Last night, when we were about $700 short of the goal, a very generous friend said, “Screw it, I’m not just putting them over the top, I’m putting them way over the top” — and gave $10,000.

That’s extraordinary by any measure and doesn’t happen very often, but we are wondering if, in a last kick here, we can match that $10,000 gift from a single person with another $10,000 from all of you, 50 or 75 people chipping in collectively to get us to $220,000 overall.

That would be a great finale to what has been a great week and a half of generous support from all of you for NR and its mission of fighting the crazies, telling the truth, and saving America.
