Independents Day Weekend (Please Help Us Stay That Way)

Nobody pays us for what we do but you . (Nobody even pays us to do our radio shows, Green News Report and The BradCast, either!)

So, yes. We rely on you. This holiday weekend seems as good a time as any to mention it again.

Please help if you haven’t in a while.

    Thanks for the great show Brad.

    BTW, have you seen this Guardian article yet that provides a recording of University of Wisconsin students taking their campus NSA recruiters to school?

    I couldn’t be more proud of how calmly and logically they destroyed every argument the recruiters put forth.

    BrAd, I am no spamer. Political historian. Am I OK?

    [Rest of comment deleted. No, you’re not, Clarence. I sent you several emails to the address you supplied, asking you to NOT spam threads with unrelated material — whether it supports your Democratic Party preferences or not. You did not reply. Since then, I’ve set you to moderation, in the event you post a comment that has anything to do with the article you are commenting on. So far, you have not. Thus, your comments have not been allowed for posting here. Sorry. Once or twice is one thing. But every single comment you’ve posted here has had nothing to do with the article you are posting to. – BF]
