You Have a Stake in SourceWatch's Future

Lisa Graves

Thank you for visiting SourceWatch!


And, thank you for any contribution you were able to make as part of our year-end campaign to keep the valuable information on this site accessible to concerned citizens or journalists, like you!


Over the past month, over 2,500 people have signed up to receive our newsletter about the PR spin of the most important issues of the day or have made new or renewed financial contributions to keep SourceWatch--and our sister publications, PRWatch.org and BanksterUSA.org--strong for the battles ahead in 2011.


This is a major milestone in our mission to make sure there is a collaborative place like SourceWatch where the unvarnished truth about the names behind the news can be told and the history of corporations, front groups, and their spinmeisters can be preserved.


Especially with the tough times most people are facing, the fact that so many of you would take the time to donate $1 or more to help has been deeply touching and greatly appreciated.


Every single dollar counts and is a choice, sometimes between the things you need and the things you want. So, we are deeply grateful for the tremendous generosity you have shown in choosing to support the fight for the truth.


All of these gifts--from a dollar to ten thousand dollars or more--will help keep SourceWatch strong, online, and on the trail of the most powerful companies, groups, and people in the U.S. and around the world!


So, on behalf of our team of researchers, writers, editors, and advocates--both staff and volunteers--let me say "thank you." We wish you a Happy New Year, filled with good health and as much joy as you can take hold of. And, we also hope that in this new year, through your efforts with SourceWatch and all the other ways you work to make the world a better place, more people's eyes will be opened to the truth!


With deepest gratitude,


Lisa Graves, Executive Director of the Center for Media and Democracy, publisher of SourceWatch
