Hey, everyone ...

Thanks to subscribing contributor CJTS, whose $10 monthly donation this morning held our "zero dollar day" streak to just one day!

As of 10am Eastern, December 12, our 4th Quarter Fundraiser total comes to  $3,150.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 by December 31, and we're falling further and further behind the likelihood of reaching that goal.

Less than two weeks from now, we'll celebrate our 17th anniversary under the Rational Review News Digest "brand. We actually goes back all the way to 1991, first as Libernet and then as Freedom News Daily before we became RRND, so we've got nearly three decades under our belt as the freedom movement's daily newspaper.

The two of us (currently) who bring our fellow libertarians their daily dose of news, commentary, and audio/video do have to eat.

Our revenue model is "here it is, send us what you think it's worth."

If you've never done that -- and there are literally THOUSANDS of you who've never done that -- I hope you'll take the time to do so via:

Have a great day!

Yours in liberty,
