The election is now history. And now – more than ever – The Moderate Voice could use your donations. As of December TMV will be 21 years old and during this time many traditional blogs have vanished for many reasons (Google ranking which destroyed some blogs, most advertising disappearing from blogs, the growth of social media and Facebook). TMV is still here and to help it thrive and survive donations would be very helpful
Earlier this year TMV was blessed by being selected by Google News to be a news source. This is already expanding this site’s reach. Additionally, SmartNews, a great news app for your phone (I go to it several times a day) is picking up some of our posts.
You can donate through the Go Fund Me icon on the right side of TMV’s home page. Or contact Joe Gandelman if you prefer to use Venmo. Contact me if you need an address if you want to send a check.
Unlike some other websites, The Moderate Voice does NOT have a fat bank account, no”angel” who donates thousands of dollars in donations, or a corporate owner or big corporate donor,. So please donate (and/or find others who you think might want to donate). When TMV has no one contributing, very few hits and no funding it’ll be the time for TMV to retire. We’re not there yet!
