Patriot Fund Update #2

Thursday, November 19, 2009

As of this morning, we have raised nearly 60 percent of the funds toward our 2009 Annual Fund budget. We still must raise $279,147 before year's end.

Every dollar you contribute provides a free subscription for someone serving our nation, or a young person who will fill a family, community and national leadership role in the next generation. We depend entirely upon the financial support of our readers to continue delivering The Patriot's timeless message of liberty, limited government and free enterprise, and its advocacy for national defense and traditional American values, to a wide forum of readers at all levels of government and the media.

"Just a note of thanks to The Patriot editors and staff for keeping the 'animated contest for freedom' vigorous back home, and for holding the line. I look forward to your posts and appreciate that our Constitution, the one the fighting men and women here in Afghanistan pledged to 'support and defend,' has a strong advocate in The Patriot." --Lt. Col. USMC

If you have not already done so, please take a moment to support The Patriot's 2009 Annual Fund today with a secure online donation -- however large or small. If you prefer to support The Patriot by mail, please use our printable donor form or print the donor guide below.

"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." --Thomas Paine
