Wikileaks needs help

[ck4829]

The Sunshine Press (Wikileaks) is in a dire financial position.

We need your letter of support.

Although we expect to receive some $2M in funding later this year,
there has been no formal funding since last year.

This organization's positive world impact has never been
higher, but it is, as a consequence, also more expensive run and
ran out of formal funding four months ago. Since that time our staff
and lawyers have funded the entire organization from their modest
personal savings and anyone else they can find to assist.

The reason that impartial, revelatory investigative journalism has
been traditionally funded by readers is that governments and
billionaires alike will not support groups which are tasked to
expose and reform them.

Despite being universally recognized as being the most important
stimulus of democratic reforms, government funding for
such organizations is non-existent. At the same time organizations
which are guaranteed to have no domestic political impact are well funded.

On-line donations, an important buttress to our ability to take on
all governments and companies with total independence, have amounted
to around $10,000 since the beginning of the year. Costs outside
of court actions are almost $400,000 per year.

Our $2M funding injection later this year will support a radical expansion
of our mission. Until then, your support, and that of your friends and
colleagues, will mean the difference between continuing to
fight the good fight and shutting down.

If you support our work or have benefited from our cause, please
write a strong letter of recommendation we can to present to
additional funding bodies. You may examine our front page or google
news for ideas.

Also consider an easy on-line donation; every contribution, no
matter how small, will directly extend the number of months and
days we can continue taking on the world:
