The Left Despises Our Freedoms

Dear Friend,

National Review is in the final phase of its Spring Webathon (Donate here! Now! Or I'll . . . cry!). We're seeking to raise $264,000. That number is, yes, a gimmick in part – it represents one thousandth of the amount ($264 million) that leftist moneybags George Soros gave to dozens of SJW groups (just those who participated in the nasty 2017 Women's March on Washington and the associated "Day Without a Woman" stunt) earlier this decade.

But $264,000 is also a valid number: It will go quite far to helping NR on three specific fronts. They are

Funding our desperately needed website rebuild (the price tag for that is over $500,000),
Helping defray the legal costs in the long-running Mann v. National Review suit, which is the most important free speech case now in America's (torturing!) court system,
Supporting the hiring (more desperately needed) of a new editor. Hey, we publish a lot of free copy every day, consumed by millions monthly.

But – it's not "free", is it? Nope. All this primo conservative commentary, analysis, and reporting costs a heck of a lot. Which is why we seek your help.

And I think you want to help. Here's a test: Do you believe the world is a better place for NRO existing and publishing the terrific line-up of conservative writers who grace the home page and The Corner daily? If you do, then please donate to help us handle the burden of these vital projects.

A similar test: Do you believe the world would be a worse place without NRO? If you answer yes, then I offer the same advice.

(And here's another bit of advice: Please read our editorial on why Mann v. National Review really is so damn important.)

To date, our Spring Webathon has raised $218,000. Thanks to all who gave. Thanks very much. I ask all who have yet to help to now . . . help. And I direct this request especially at those who are de facto barnacles on the hull of the USS National Review – those who are always always on NRO. You have to believe that this is really a cause, that it costs a ton to keep going, day in and out, and that it deserves your financial support.

Let me put it this way, especially for you tightwads: Can you really not spare a measly sawbuck?

Spare that (more if you can) on NRO, right here. If you prefer to help by check, then please make yours payable to "National Review" and mail it to National Review, ATTN: Webathon, 215 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10016. And if you prefer PayPal, you can donate here.

God bless all who have joined us in the foxhole and atop the ramparts as we fight the Left. And this is indeed a fight. A fight for our freedoms. For our unalienable rights, which are now so wrong to the misfits who enjoy the largesse of Soros and the fans of Alinsky. It's a fight in which we hope to find ourselves positioned alongside you.

Thanks so much, and more of God's blessings on Congressman Steve Scalise, fighting for his life.

Sincerely,

Jack Fowler

Vice President, National Review
