The Monthly‘s annual fundraising drive carries on. If you’re a regular reader, you know that the Washington Monthly offers the kind of cutting-edge reporting and analysis the country needs now more than ever, breaking big stories well ahead of other media outlets.

While those who’ve already contributed have our most sincere thanks, I hope those who haven’t will consider making a tax-deductible donation. It can make a big difference.

While we have print and online ads, this only covers part of our overall expenses, which means that we depend on contributions from readers to keep publishing. To keep us going strong, we need a little help. Your donation will not only help the magazine, but also help support this blog.

This year the publishers are adding a nice incentive:

So give generously — $25, $50, $100 — and if you donate $150 or more, we’ll send you a hardcover copy of Monthly founder Charles Peters’ latest book, Lyndon B. Johnson, individually signed by the author. It’s the latest in “The American Presidents” series. The New Yorker says it is “illuminating” and “a resonant portrait of a man of prodigious political abilities, who was driven, but ultimately undone, by his temperamental flaws.”

So, I hope we can count on your support. Just click here to help out. You can donate online, through PayPal, or through the mail.

Thank you.

Our ideas can save democracy... But we need your help! Donate Now!
