The first ever LouisianaVoice fundraiser has only three days to go and to those who have contributed either by PayPal or by personal check, we are deeply humbled by and grateful for the enthusiastic response. We have almost reached our goal and with your help, we can make it. Please help support us in our effort to give you the stories behind the stories.
We at LouisianaVoice attempt to illustrate how events and people are interconnected by money and power. You won’t find that in any other news reports on Louisiana politics. Most issues in state politics can be traced directly to campaign contributions or the influence that money buys—and that’s what we try to bring to you through our research and reporting.
Your contribution can go a long way in assisting us in our efforts to shine the glaring light of true transparency on the actions of our elected officials.
Please click on the “Donate” button at the lower right and help us keep the light on.
For those experiencing problems with the donate button, our address is:
107 North College West
Denham Springs, Louisiana 70726
Checks should be made payable to Capital News Service/LouisianaVoice.
Reblogged this on Crazy Crawfish's Blog and commented:
Please support Tom Aswell and Louisiana Voice if you can. Tom does great work and helps us hold Louisiana politicians accountable for their actions and exposes their misdeeds. He does so with speed and gusto that traditional media sources can’t even come close to. We bloggers do incur expenses form time to time in addition to the vast amounts of time we spend interviewing sources, answering emails, reviewing evidence and writing our posts. A lot goes into our work that you don’t see, and we want to do more, but we need help. Tom is trying the NPR funding approach. Tom doesn’t charge for his services, which are public services and a public good that all people can benefit from, but we are asking that if you are in a position to support his work to please do so. Can you imagine a Louisiana without the Voice and others to hold our “leaders” accountable? (Scary thought, right?)
If you would like to see the coverage of such pieces expanded and you have the ability to wherewithal the make a modest contribution, please do so. You will be helping yourself and your state and our future with your pledge.
Thank you.
