Dear Friend of Between The Lines Radio Newsmagazine:
Thank you for visiting Between The Lines' fundraising page, where you can make a secure, online tax-deductible donation! We're able to keep progressive voices on the air because of listeners like you!
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
A message from our executive producer, Scott Harris:
| Day after day, month after month corporate media outlets pump stories out to our television sets, radio, Internet sites, newspapers and magazines with excruciating detail about the exploits of the "balloon boy," Sarah Palin's "tweets," and national security questions related to Tiger Woods' recent car accident and sex scandal.
Given what passes for news and political dialogue in the U.S. these days, it's no wonder you're searching for something of substance -- news that actually examines critical issues from points of view that don't find a home in the "mainstream."
At Between The Lines Radio Newsmagazine, we're proud to bring you critical analysis on a wide range of issues including the failures of our capitalist system; voices of dissent organizing opposition to President Obama's escalation of the Afghan war; the Obama administration's willingness to tolerate the violence and repression of the coup regime in Honduras; and eyewitness and accounts of a growing citizens movement in Appalachia willing to risk arrest to stop coal company's from environmentally-destructive mountain top removal coal mining.
If you want alternatives to the right-wing rantings of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly -- and more in-depth coverage of important issues than you get from either the timid beltway press corps or the "liberal" cable TV Democratic party defense committee, we hope you'll support Between the Lines with a small or large end of year contribution.

Independent media outlets such as Between The Lines are needed to maintain a focus on the critical issues and common sense solutions the corporate media refuse to cover -- and to hold spineless politicians accountable.
Your support helps spread viewpoints like these:
• Economics professor Richard D. Wolff on the global economic meltdown and the basic structural changes needed not only to fix today's broken economy, but to prevent future crises.
• "Agenda for a New Economy" author David Korten on how to build local, sustainable economies after we've seen how Wall Street priorities have created the global crises that's devastating Main Street
• Physicians for National Health Program's Dr. Stephanie Woolhandler -- advocate for single-payer, universal health care where the well-being of society's citizens is the main priority, not maximizing profits.
Additionally, your contribution will enable Between The Lines to provide the program free of charge to more radio stations across the U.S. -- and purchase equipment and services vital to the production of the program each week.
