Please Join Robert Redford in Supporting ProPublica
Holiday time is the season for giving of all sorts—including supporting organizations and causes that make a difference. We hope that, as the end of the year approaches, you’ll consider a tax-deductible donation to ProPublica.
Holiday time is the season for giving of all sorts -- including supporting organizations and causes that make a difference. We hope that, as the end of the year approaches, you’ll consider a tax-deductible donation to ProPublica.
There are lots of ways we could have phrased this request, but we thought it might be most compelling to let someone else do the talking. Robert Redford is, of course, a noted civic activist, social entrepreneur and film maker. But he remains best known as an actor -- and to those in our business, investigative reporting, especially so for his role in recreating the most significant investigative journalism work of modern times in "All the President’s Men," the tale of how the Washington Post cracked the Watergate story. Watch Redford talk about ProPublica:
Having done that, please donate today. And please share this post and video with others who care about such important work. Thank you.

By support and donation, good personalities like Robert Redfort, Obama, myself, yourself etc. can surely help establish a digital technology based non-profit globally accessible journalism to positively change the world in terms of humanity, especially in closing the income gap between too rich and too poor. This is a human made issue, solvable by humans, in addition to silent support of whimsical cosmic Creator -that will let the global public uprising continue in all corners of this earth.
As expected, whenever I will receive a settlement against my claim of C$ 65 million from the extremely natural resource rich -elusive Crocodile that is invisibly active behind all the decisions and operations of Canadian Government; I am hereby making a promise to donate a large some for ProPublica’s healthy mission. Canada and USA are inseparable, it’s the wealthy group that selfishly manipulate dumb portion of the local public minds not to let the borders lifted for balanced trades of natural resources for the benefit of mankind.

I so appreciate all that Pro Publica and other ethical news reporting agencies do! Wish I could contribute $ at this time but I’m fighting to save my home from foreclosure. If I had a website, my title article would be: Please Join Amy Sheaffer in Saving Her Home. Donate Now! Wish I was kidding. Thank you for all you do to keep the “News” honest!

Robert Redford was one of my favorite actors when I was young. I’m saddened he has joined ProPublica.

Don, since you sound like you are against ProbPublica I am not sure why you are visiting their website. Are you checking to see if they have already posted an article about you???

I would have donated to ProPublica because of their excellent work on the TSA issue, however I was disappointed to learn that ProPublica censors comments even though they’re not offensive.
ProPublica - for the public, should not engage in censorship.

“if you want to close the income gap go to work.”
What jobs? Do you ever bother to look at the facts and reality around you?
My guess is you like the easy armchair where little thought is required and reading is too much work so you spew mindless talking points and slogans. Fools like you are destroying our country.

Tim DeChristopher IS pronounced Guilty for interfering with Bush circa Dec 19, 2008, a Utah State lands auction, (where the majority of the lands later turned out to not meet legal qualifications to be on the block). Tim is now in prison for two years at a cost of approximately $100,000 a year to the American tax payer. Tim is a young recent graduate of Economics. Tim is guilty for disruption of a legal economic process. The sentence seems harsh for Tim’s future, our budget, and for American freedom.
Alex Litowitz bundles bad real estate loans, sells them, reaps approximately $260 M for his 20 months tenure. Some concerned citizens state the deal was performed under less than legal pretenses, and then there is the moral issue concerning business ethics a professional is responsible. An officer is not to plunder the vanquished. Training and attitude interred in the leadership of an officer. A financial professional is able to consider the bond rating system as a means to bend to make legal deals.
True story:
I worked with the Veteran’s Home Loan Guarantee, as a US Gov’t clerk typist, listing and processing real estate loans, circa May, 1986 thru May 1987, in Seattle WA. The department had been there for years. The whole department, greater than a floor and hundred and more personnel, thousands of VA qualified homes on file (before the PC), got up and left between May, 1987 and G Bush’s opening ceremonies, and to the State of Michigan. Why move a governmental department? When I worked in that Seattle office, President Clinton relaxed some of the real estate qualifications to support the lower wage earners in an attempt to expand the economy and help these families. Geo Bush and Bill Clinton never really got along. Anyway, why did the VA Home Loan Guarantee get up and move to Michigan before the home loan bundling? A Florida Election anyone, Gore who?
For this info, and all it may be worth, please support Tim DeChristopher, an eager young American who has sacrificed his future to save a planet.
Sincerely,
ChangeitOrDrownIt
