We do. That's because our "angels" – a group of Antiwar.com readers who have pledged $30,000 in matching funds – could make the difference between success and failure for our fundraising drive.

The generosity of some of our more well off supporters isn't quite manna from heaven, however – because we have to match it. Otherwise, we don't get it.

Which means you have to match it – you, our readers and supporters, who are probably not in a position to donate four and five-figure sums, but who nevertheless want to stand up to the War Party in a meaningful way by standing with us.

This has been a long and enervating fundraising drive, and it's taken a lot out of us: we hate dunning our readers, but it's absolutely necessary in order to continue our work. That work has been an ongoing project that has stretched over the last 18 years: yes, we really have been around that long. It's been a long, hard haul, one that has pitted us against some of the most powerful – and malevolent – forces in US society. And we're making progress: the American people are beginning to wake up to the dangers of war and our emerging police state – but we can't continue to carry out the vital task of educating the American people without your help.

Your tax-deductible donation will help put us over the top, so we can conclude this fundraiser – finally! – and get back to the serious business of busting the War Party's chops. Please give today.
