PLEDGE WEEK CONTINUES.... This is Day Three of the Monthly's annual fundraising drive. Our most sincere thanks to those of you who have already contributed. For those who haven't, here's a reminder that your tax-deductible donation can make a big difference.

If you're a regular, you know that the Washington Monthly offers the kind of cutting-edge reporting and analysis the country needs now more than ever, breaking big stories well ahead of major mainstream outlets.

But to keep us going strong, we need a little help. Your donation will not only help the magazine, but also help support this blog. In fact, we've already begun work on a redesign -- a development more than a few of you have requested -- but need some additional funds.

The Monthly is a nonprofit organization. We have print and online ads, but this only covers a small part of our expenses, which means that we depend on contributions from readers to stay up and humming. The truth is, without an annual pledge week, we can't stay in business.

So, I hope we can count on your support. In honor of the Monthly's 40th anniversary, the magazine is asking for $40 donations, but any amount is welcome. If every "Political Animal" reader chipped in just $1, we'd surpass our fundraising goal.

Just click here to help out. You can donate online, through PayPal, or through the mail.

Thanks.

Out of idle curiosity... Why are those donations tax-deductible?

Happy to contribute - WM/PA is worth every penny!

I suppose the best argument for donating to WM is that sufficient donations might enable you to decline to run ads for conservative t-shirt companies selling pro-Reagan and moronic anti-Obama t-shirts.

I'll have to try this next February when our magazine celebrates 102 years since its founding (1908). I'm sure you'll be happy to donate $102 (we are also non-profit, but not by charter or design, just by lack of any income). I'll let you know when the drive (pun intended) begins.
