t r u t h o u t | It's clear that far too many of our political leaders are=
equally irresponsible whether governing their own country or making decisi=
ons that affect the rest of the world. New ideas are needed, and that's one=
of the things Truthout is here to provide - from writers and thinkers you =
can trust. We still need to raise almost $35,000 in order to meet our goal =
and keep this work going - will you chip in today to help us get there?
