t r u t h o u t | It's easy to be dismayed by the state of American politics. At Truthout and BuzzFlash, we believe that hope is essential, but we know it does not arrive on a wing and a prayer. It comes from the hard work of ensuring accountability and providing positive alternatives to the status quo. We must raise at least $23,000 more to keep this work going: Can you help us with a tax-deductible donation now?
