Despite many blogs vanishing, The Moderate Voice is still around. Google News is carrying its posts as is the SmartNews app headquartered in Tokyo. To keep this going The Moderate Voice needs your help.
TMV has been blessed with many donations of all kinds over the years. But it has no big corporate donor, no big advertiser, and has never received a huge donation. It’s almost a miracle that it’s still around. Any donations you can give of any size (and spread the word if you know some folks who read the blog) are a huge help.
TMV was started in January 2003 on BlogSpot and quickly evolved into a group blog that was on several platforms before settling on Word Press. MANY blogs have died over the years due to social media, in particular Facebook and Twitter. We’ are still (stubbornly) here. During the golden age of blogging The Moderate Voice won awards as the best centrist political blog.
Use the GO FUND ME donation button on the right. Or if you wish to mail a check contact us and we’ll tell you where and how to make out a check to The Moderate Voice.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
