The TCBH! Collective
We believe that this site has developed a devoted regular following of several tens of thousands of readers who visit the site regularly to get news and opinions they can't find elsewhere. On that basis, we a few months ago kicked of afund-raiser on Indiegogo aimed at raising $50,000 to support our site, specifically to fund the hard-hitting reporting we do here to get out the truth that the rest of the media ignore, cover-up, or misreport.
So far, the result has been dismal — just a few hundred dollars! Not only are people not ponying up and giving what they can (even $5 would be great if it came in from many readers).
Not only that, but people seem not to have even made the effort to help the site go viral by going to the Indiegogo site and using the links there to make it go viral on Facebook and Twitter.
That's a disaster and we need to urge you, our readers, to do better.
Look, we shouldn't have to explain this, but here's how it works. We in the TCBH! collective don't get paid for our work. We do this out of a sense of journalistic and political commitment, but because we all have families and have to make a living, we do it in our spare times, which limits what we can do. If you value our work and this site, we need you to make some kind of cash contribution, and we need you to promote our fund-raiser to everyone you know. If that happens, we should raise enough money that we will be able to devote real time to the project, and not just spare moments.
So please. help this fund-raiser to take off!
Thank you!
