I know it’s tiresome to get pleas for money, but here is a need that, if not helped, will hurt us all. Many of us often link to informationclearinghouse and use the articles there as a basis for diaries. Here is Tom Feeley, the sole owner’s earnest plea for help: (he does not sell ads – contributions are the sole source of his website’s support)

Please Help?

Our Situation is Beyond Critical.

This has been the worst response ever to our appeal for financial help with operating expenses
