Our Webathon is winding down, now in its final days as we seek to raise $25,000 to apply towards NR’s 2016 Social Media Outreach Project. To date we have raised over $20,000 – many thanks to those of you who have contributed. Those determined to follow suit can make a donation to NR here.
Some good folks who have pitched in these past few days have sent encouraging words and sentiments along with their contributions — we are delighted to share a few:
From across the seas David K sends $35 and a note of thanks: “From a Scottish conservative based in London, greetings to everyone at NRO and congratulations on a magnificent website. Keep up the good work in trumpeting the conservative message.” Toot!!
Susan T takes a break from the Arizona heat to send us $100 and a beautiful sentiment “I’m proud to be able to help support the conservative cause which Bill Buckley founded and look forward to each new issue of NR. I greatly admired Bill from a very early age and share his continuing views sustained in NR.” Thanks, Susan. His spirit looms very large here, as you can imagine.
Irene Y contributes $25 and explains why: “NR is my daily source for the straight scoop — presented with reason, intelligence, inspiration, and wit. I particularly appreciate the specialized depth and context each of your writers brings to a topic. It’s a constant education — and a fine one! Thanks.” Not as fine as you are Irene. Grazie.
Andrew K sends $100 and puts on the war paint: “Keep on firing broadsides, despite the temptation to abandon a seemingly helpless situation. That the enemy knows you are still dangerous and spoiling to fight will cause him to perhaps pause, at least, and look inwards for a moment.” Trust us: We have no idea what “abandon” means, Andy!
And finally, Big Jim H tosses in 25 bucks and makes a prediction: “This should cover a drink each for Jonah, Kevin, and Charles on the next cruise.” Indeed, James knows his NR writers! But we assure him and all that contributions will go towards our Project.
Please do help NR. If you frequent these parts, and derive comfort and intelligence from the commentary of our terrific writers, and if you realize that what the world need now is NR, sweet NR, then make your Webathon donation here. Many thanks.
Still Time to Pitch In
