I can't contribute much, but I am sure every dollar helps. Your blog is first read must read for me every day. Cheers.

... after all, the exchange rate Euro:Dollars really helps, too ^_^

(takes cover)

Please keep going by all means. Thanks for your vital work!

I hopeyou can accept donations from outside the US. Cause I just sent you (I think!) $20(USD) from western Canada.

We hockey-smitten people have, in fact, a certain urgency in pushing for sanity in the country below.

Happily I learned, to my excitement, that given the current status of the USD, it cost me little little more $CAN to give to an American website.

Just hope the money gets there. Opened a PayPal account probably 7 months ago-my first attempt to use it.

Please give what you can to this brilliant blog. Glenn's work is first-rate and so much better than the mainstream commentary you get from your daily paper. Very much appreciated!

Hi Glen,

Like another poster upthread, I want to make a donation every month but I don't want to have to remember to do it or do anything to do it.

Please, please, please, create another paypal product for yourself that is a subscription product so more of us can have the pleasure of knowing that we're helping to support the work of America's best political writer.

Thanks....

P.S. You're really going to do it this time right?

:)

Where 's that donate button?

Even with Salon subscription (primarily for GG; most of rest is too "hip" for this Old Schooler), ponying up an additional $50 is a value for having a strong advocate for truth, progressive values and our Constitution.

If I was a Fat Cat, I'd fund you completely GG. Being just a working stiff, you got what I can give. Git 'em, son!

Now I see where it says "Unclaimed Territory" up on top. For being a dumbass, I doubled my contribution. Wish it could be more.

This is what I wrote to my friends:

Hi everyone

We are like parents who gave birth to a son and brought him up with great care and love and a superb education only to find that at the age of 15 he has become an uncontrollable monster. In the first place we need to diagnose what is wrong with him. Is it a psychological problem? Is it a physical problem? What is it that has caused this person, with all the advantages of his upbringing and with all the promise that that entails, to morph into a monster seemingly impervious to our cries of alarm and pain? This is what the American political system has become. All the carefully constructed checks and balances, all the brilliant minds that argued and gave birth to a constitution and political system that was understandably admired by all the world has become a grotesque and overfed mutant that has caused the deaths of 1 million Iraqis since 2003 and wants to do the same to Iran, has a congress that has in the last few years, in a bipartisan way, thrown out the 800 year old right of habeus corpus and embraced the most hideous forms of torture. This is not just an anomaly resulting from the presidency of GW. This is a system in which politicians with real integrity and moral principles(such as Kucinich) can never raise enough corporate donations to get near power. What can we do? Well first of all we need to diagnose what is wrong and then do what we can to treat the problems we find. It doesn't take too much to realize that one of the most broken parts of the system is the gathering and dissemination of news. Luckily, the internet has enabled (until Democrats fold on net neutrality) a form of news gathering and dissemination that recaptures the original dynamism and honesty of the very first pamphleteers: blogging. Glenn Greenwald is a superb example of a blogger. (He now writes for Salon). I value what he writes (almost daily) more than the combined output of the rest of the mainstream media. It suddenly strikes me that when it comes to news, no amount of quantity can compete with a single voice that speaks with dependable honesty and morality.

Glenn asks for donations twice a year. He explains it all here . Give what you can and try to pass this on to like minded friends.

Thanks

Ken

Tom's point is there's nothing in the "item" space on PayPal. I love you dearly, Glenn, but I'm not making a payment into the ether. I gotta see where it's going.

Do fix it, or at least reassure me that the money's going to the right place, and I'll complete the transaction.

It's correct. That's how it was set up from the beginning, in the name of the blog.

Thanks to everyone here for the comments they left and donations made. I really appreciate it.

I went through the whole procedure -- but I didn't see the name Glenn Greenwald anywhere in the PayPal pages, just "Unclaimed Territory" -- or really any contact data at all -- so I bailed out before actually sending the $$$.

Further reflection leads me to believe that you haven't fully set up the PayPal account and put your name on it.

Do fix it, or at least reassure me that the money's going to the right place, and I'll complete the transaction.

I'd gladly sign up to send you $10 a month, Glenn, if I didn't have to work to do it!

Paul D, I think you've low balled it...

For a family of 3 or 4 to see a movie can easily run up to $50 or more, after paying for the movie and some refreshments, and there is usually little guarantee that you're going to get your money's worth.

If a babysitter is required, or parking fees... ai yai yaiii, and we haven't even thought about dinner yet.

But you're right-- that 24/7 availability here really is an added value.

Thanks, Glenn, for making PayPal an option. It is definitely my preferred method of payment.
