See what the Con's have posted, seems they think they have another crusade to figure out.

We don't have a goal in all honesty. We just don't know how much to ask for, so we figure we will just let it ride and hopefully raise enough to pay us something, hire another writer, researcher, and maybe, if we can get several research accounts with Lex/Nex, Westlaw, etc., or at least raise enough that we can use some as a research fund. We don't have the basic tools that every news organization should have and the pay per research we have been doing is not doable anymore. Plus, the phone bills are getting out of control. Really, much of what I have made would equal a carton of smokes a week but then I have to put it back into research and phone (which I have not, hence cell is kaka).

Anyway, we have never done this b4, so we don't know what to ask for, or what is even appropriate to ask. We basically figured people can give if they want to, or help in other ways. The money thing is only one part of it, as we need a graphic designer, software (shareware expires, lol), and so forth.

I am surprised we have gotten this far in all honesty, but I am sure glad that we did.
