Why is ICH one of the most popular and reliable independent, non commercial sources of news and Information on the Internet, yet it remains woefully underfunded?
It's because we receive the support of only a handful of the more than 77,000 recipients of our growing daily newsletter and the million or so visitors who visit the website each month. But for the assistance of these supporters (and a few people in particular who have been generous over the years. Thank you. ) this service would not exist to counter the propaganda of those who value neither our lives or our freedom.
The current economic climate has made it almost impossible to continue producing ICH. Donations over the last 3 months have fallen far short of our expenses and our prudent reserve has been eaten away. I need those who value the website and or newsletter to dig deep and make a special effort to help place ICH on a more stable footing.
- Fundraiser Update -
122 people have provided assistance . (Thank you) We need another 209 readers to step forward and ensure that an non commercial source of news and information exists to inform and cut through the distortions and lies told by a manipulative Main Stream Media.
A passion for justice and desire for a world free of needless human suffering demands that I ask for your help
I am making a special appeal to you as a person of conscience and courage and all who seek peace, economic justice, human rights and a healthy environment to help sustain and grow the Information Clearing House, newsletter and website.
Please act now - Become A Supporting Reader
Thank you for helping to keep ICH alive and kicking
