Hey folks, I'm unemployed and donated to Free Speech TV... They NEED money now!
Edited on Fri May-15-09 10:02 PM by cascadiance
We really need independent media networks like this to survive these down times. For a while I wasn't going to donate anything as I have to be frugal now. But I don't want to see them cut back at all on their operation because they don't get enough revenue.

Please donate $50 or more if you can. You can get a copy of the Dave Korten book on the economy too with that amount. They have some matching going on online now too (channel 9415 on Dish Network)...

If you don't have Dish Network and want to help out, you can also donate online too at:

If I can give them money without a job, you can too!

1. I can only do 25 right now
I hope it helps. If I donate any more this month checks will bounce, I will bookmark for June as I may be able to do some more then.

2. Hey, whatever you can helps!
2000 of you or 1000 of me donating now will get them to their goals! Thanks!

I think we'll be thankful later, when it comes time to reform the media soon (which it is NOW in my book) and hopefully these guys will be able to help lead the way in helping us with an example of that!

3. Agreed - My feeling is more like media reform is already several years overdue
I like the resource they provide (and use it) and have not been supporting them as I should.

5. Thanks for the plug for FSTV
I (low fixed income) donated a couple days ago. A very good cause, and much of their stuff is online. With more money, they will be able to put up more and extend their reach.

8. I watch Democracy Now (best show around) & GritTV (Laura Flanders) almost every day on FSTV and
they truly could use any of your change, even a few bucks will help.

You can watch FSTV on the Dish Network for one...
