It’s the second week of the fourth quarter and that can only mean one thing: We’re going to beg you for money once each day for the next week.
Seriously, though, it is the contributions of our readers that allows Eclectablog to be one of the few progressive political blogs where the regular contributors are all paid for their writing. And your financial support ensures quality writing from a wide variety of progressive intellects (we now have EIGHT contributors!)
Over the past quarter we’ve stayed on top of the major issues and political happenings in the state and the country. When people want to know what’s happening with the Cindy Gamrat/Todd Courser debacle, they come to Eclectablog for the details. When Planned Parenthood’s CEO Cecile Richards was being insulted and badgered by Congressional Republicans on Capitol Hill, we were supporting Planned Parenthood at Eclectablog by participating in National #PinkOut Day. When Michigan Republicans have gone after women’s reproductive rights, you’ve been kept informed on how YOU can fight back.
For all these reasons and more, Eclectablog deserves your support. And when Progressives support Progressives, Progressives win.
For those groups and individuals who find what we do here at Eclectablog worthy of supporting with a direct financial contribution, there are three ways to help.
First, you can make your donation using the PayPal form at the top of the right sidebar. You can choose which level of support you wish to give us from the dropdown box or choose a different level if you wish by using the “Other amount” box. The default is $60 which is basically $1 per week after the fees are taken out, a pretty good value.
Or you can wait until the TinyPass pop-up pops up (every tenth click on the site) and donate that way. If you do that, the popups will go away as long as you have cookies enabled. Like with the Paypal form, the default amounts for annual or monthly donations can be adjusted to whatever you wish them to be. They are currently set to be around $1 per week. Again, it’s a great value.
Finally, if you would prefer to send a check, send me an email and I’ll give you the address. This is the most beneficial way for us because it avoids the Paypal and Tinypass fees that are taken from contributions to the site.
If you work for an organization that would like to support our efforts by placing an ad, click HERE for our ad rates and more information.
By the way, you don’t have to be an organization to run an ad. Maybe you’d like to surprise your favorite progressive with a birthday message on Eclectablog or help promote your favorite group. Again, click HERE for more info.
If you cannot afford to support us financially, there are other ways that you can still help.
For instance, please share our content on your Facebook page or other social media like Twitter, Reddit, etc. Put a “Like” on our Facebook page and click the “Invite friends” button and encourage your friends to like us, too.
Thanks so much for your continued support,
Chris, Anne, Amy, LOLGOP, Tony, Emma, Judy, and John
