We Need You to Help…

I hate to ask, so I usually don’t. But I must, so I will…If you’re able to donate to The BRAD BLOG, it’s tremendously appreciated, and very much needed.

We receive no corporate or foundational support, and (with the exception of a monthly pittance brought in by ads), we rely on you to help us continue our fearless and fiercely independent, often ground-breaking, award-winning reporting, trouble-making, and muckraking from folks like myself, Sibel Edmonds, Ernest Canning, Desi Doyen (Green News Report!), and others.

If you have ever found value in what we do here at The BRAD BLOG — which, I believe, is the type of issue coverage found almost nowhere else, as we continue to avoid purely profit-driven coverage and other gimmicks to increase traffic — please consider support to help us keep it going. Quickly, here are a few easy options for that:

  • One-Time or Monthly Online Donation: Click here to make a secure, one time online donation with credit card or PayPal.
  • DVD Premium Donation: Use one of the options at this link if you’d like receive a signed, award-winning DVD documentary in exchange for a donation of $50 or more.
  • Snail-Mail Donation: Send a check via snail mail, to: Brad Friedman, 7095 Hollywood Blvd., #594, Los Angeles, CA 90028 (If you’d like a DVD in return, see the link in the option above, and please specify that when sending in your check!)

Use of any of the above options is greatly appreciated! And, now back to your regularly scheduled BRAD BLOG. Pardon for the intrusion, even though I may have to post another reminder or three soon! Thanks in advance for all of your support over so many years… — Brad

    Continental Airlines has made the papers, but this time it isn’t for cheap flights. Nine pilots have been sued for trying to run a pension scam on Continental Airlines; 8 of the pilots were recently employed by them. (Some resigned, but you can guess why they were fired.) The pilots, in lieu of getting a money loan, tried to exploit a loophole in which employees could get early pension benefits if they were in the middle of a divorce. They filed, allegedly, for divorces from their spouses in order to get the early pension benefits. Needless to say, this didn’t fly. They will need low cost loans now, but Continental Airlines can probably afford better lawyers.

    Brad — just tried to send you an email but it was blocked . . . “rejected by the recipient domain”. I wanted to send you info on an upcoming radio event. I’d rather not post it here.

    Brad,
    I always have a hard time with your Pay-Pal. Will send my $25 by snail mail.

    Please folks, Brad is always in the trenches fighting. We’d really be down the tubes without people like him. Chip in.

    Hey Brad, you’re beginning to slip, I think. I mean, you’ve only got one (count’em above so far, yup, just one) septic tank troll raggin’ your ass!

    After Bush finally won an election (apparently through a proxy, as B. Hussein O. is actually in the process of adopting the most criminally obscene aspects of the Bush regime’s Constitutionally “irrelevating” agenda), it seems that civic apathy has even assaulted the Rushthuglican crew of the neo-con crowd.

    It couldn’t’a happened any better if it had been planned … wait a minute ~

    Why dont you quite smoking and spend that money on your site rather then supporting big tobacco and having your reader(s) pay for it.

    Well, I have to admit I’d probably cry if your site disappeared. I also like your ‘appearances’ on radio. So, here’s my contribution. You really are a serious reporter we can all be proud of.
