Dear Reader,

As managing editor of In These Times, one of the best parts of my job is getting to work with talented writers like Rick Perlstein.

Rick, author of Nixonland, has agreed to sign a free copy of his new, critically acclaimed book to those who contribute $150 or more to In These Times in the next week.

It’s all in an effort to raise $10,000 for In These Times in the next few weeks. By providing financial support to a hardworking, muckraking outfit like ours, you can receive a collector’s copy of one of 2008’s must-read books. Signed, sealed, delivered—it’s yours.

I hope you’ll join the thousands of members of the In These Times community in supporting the magazine today.

8 (MORE!) Reasons To Give To In These Times:

17. Kurt Vonnegut. During his last years, the renowned writer regularly published in the pages of In These Times. “If it weren’t for In These Times, I’d be a man without a country,” Kurt once said.

18. We create community. Throughout the year, In These Times hosts readings and critical discussions with important authors like Daniel Brook, Katha Pollit, and Silja Talvi. Don't miss our upcoming discussion of The Uprising with David Sirota on June 19th!

19. Challenging commentary. In These Times provides you with incisive viewpoints from columnists, such as Susan J. Douglas, Laura Washington, and Salim Muwakkil.

20. Women rule. In the last year, just as many women as men wrote for In These Times —that’s more than 120 articles written by women— and it sets us apart from most other publications. We have provided investigative reports on rape in the military, the fight for reproductive rights in the South, and the media bias against female political candidates, among other articles.

21. An outpost of sanity. The U.S. media landscape is a deck stacked with six corporate cards -- Viacom, GE, Disney, CBS, News Corp. (fie!), and TimeWarner -- and In These Times provides you with stories these giants ignore, stories about people you know, movements you recognize. By donating, you'll help us keep 'em coming.

22. InTheseTimes.com. Your donation helps pay for Web-only columns, stories, interviews, and multimedia -- so In These Times can change with the times –- and be available to anyone in the world with an internet connection.

23. The legacy. In 1976, author and historian James Weinstein founded In These Times with the mission to "identify and clarify the struggles against corporate power now multiplying in American society." He was joined by Daniel Ellsberg, E.P. Thompson, Noam Chomsky, Barbara Ehrenreich, Julian Bond and Herbert Marcuse, all of whom were among the original sponsors of the magazine.

24. Independence. Freedom of the press belongs to those who own the press. At In These Times, you are the owner.

Please make a gift today.

In These Times depends on its readers for 70% of its income. That means that you, our small donors, are the first source of support. (Bush stimulus checks are particularly welcome). We have $6,000 more to raise to reach our $10,000. That’s only 600 people giving $10 each.

Please contribute today.

A tax-deductible gift in any amount will make a difference.

Peace,
