Found this while I was doing my ERD searches
(I've mentioned this before, but I continue to be livid about it.)

It really makes me mad that Time Warner is forcing me to give extra money to The Nation and other small, progressive magazines that I could have been giving to progressive *candidates*! You suppose that was part of their little plan?? What is the procedure to get this Time Warner, POS, Founders are rolling over in their graves, giveaway, tiered postage hike repealed????

Dear Nation reader,

Half a million dollars. In postage.

In just a few short days, The Nation will pay one of the biggest bills we've ever faced – half a million dollars – because of a postal rate increase scheme designed in part by lobbyists for the TimeWarner media conglomerate. Mailing costs for mega-magazines like TimeWarner's own Time, People and Sports Illustrated will go up much less or in some cases decrease, while smaller publications like The Nation will be hit by an enormous rate increase.

We need your contribution during this critical time in order to prevent cutbacks to our investigative reporting, coverage of important issues ignored by the corporate-supported mainstream media, and our student outreach programs.

To enable The Nation to continue to be a voice of truth, free speech and democracy, click here.

Thank you,
Katrina Vanden Heuvel
Editor and Publisher, The Nation

1. I almost didn't open this thread. I couldn't tell from a glance to what it was pertaining.
This is important. I wish you would revise your opening post sentence. I am going to recommend. I hope a lot of people read this.
