Matching Gift Matched!

Our gift of $10,000, to match all donations of $100 or more, was “used up” last night when that figure was passed. Thank you! But now another great man has offered an additional $10,000 on the same terms: So you can still double your gift if you give $100 or more!

Like the old joke, I have good news and I have bad news.

The good news is that LRC is more influential than ever. This was already the best-read libertarian site on the web, and the one Ron Paul reads first thing every morning. And 2009 traffic is up 28% over 2008, which was already the best-read in our 11-year history.

More and more Americans, especially young people, turn here for the kind of news and opinion — and good writing — they can’t find in the standard media, print or electronic. And not only America: LRC is attracting readers from all over the world.

And I can’t tell you how many people write to tell me they used to be neocons or left-liberals, but now, thanks to LRC, they are libertarians.

With fascism-socialism on the march in the US and so many other countries, how important is the untrammeled voice of freedom, unafraid, uncompromising, innovative, and effective.

No part of the regime, no statist intellectual, bankster, CIA killer, Wall Streeter, nor shill, will find deference on LewRockwell.com. Here, we recognize the state, as Murray Rothbard put it, as u201Ca gang of thieves writ large.u201D That goes for the presidency, the Congress, the Supreme Court, the Fed, the Pentagon, and every other sinkhole for our stolen money.

If you like this site, please help keep it going and growing.

Nor will we heed the bleats of u201Cterrorism, terrorismu201D as an excuse to fasten the police state on us. Clinton, Bush, Obama — and their equally bloody predecessors — are all given the hotfoot at LRC.

Here’s the bad news: this site has its haters, from oil plutocrats to billionaire bankers, from neocon mouthpieces to Beltway floozies. They want to put us out of business. But if the bad guys weren’t bothered, we might as well shut our doors. And that will never happen. If we have your support.

But is all lost, given the elected-dictatorship of the presidency, the evil clowns in black robes, the killer generals, and the rest? Absolutely not. Indeed, there is far more opposition than at any time since 2000. LRC can help fan the flames of resistance, and grow the giant Ron Paul movement too.

But we need your help to stay in existence, and to make the improvements in the site that the times demand, from a new Content Management System and redesign, to advertising on bigger sites like Drudge. All this is very expensive. Won’t you help?

Please make a generous donation if you like this site, and want to see it grow in influence, and indeed, keep going. We have some dreams about what we can do to make LRC even more powerful as a voice of liberty, and some surprises as well, but we need you as a partner.

Socialists, red and blue-state fascists, Keynesians, militarists, imperialists, welfare statists, inflationists, warmongers, redistributionists, big-pharma corporatists, propagandists for the regime — the targets are many and powerful. LRC may seem only a slingshot against an army, but that’s what they said about David.

This battle is exhilarating as well as important. We can do much good, and have fun at the same time. We can hammer the thieving state, its allies and apologists. We can undermine them all. We can do so much good for the future of our ideas. Join me in this great fight.
