Please Support The BRAD BLOG in This Election Year (Or Just For My Birthday!)

Share article:

I hate doing it, so I haven’t since January, but I must. As it’s my birthday today, I’ll use that as an excuse to ask for your support if you’ve found our work to be of value at The BRAD BLOG this year.

Particularly as this is an election year, I hope you’ll appreciate the importance of what we do, among many other things, to try and help keep the remnants of our Constitutional democracy (or Republic, for you Ron Paul fans) alive. I hate having to remind you at all, but if I don’t, we receive virtually no donations from readers, other than from those who have pledged regular monthly support.

By way of reminder, we rely only on you to help keep us doing all that we do here. We enjoy no corporate or foundational sponsorship. So it’s your generosity that helps keep the trouble-making, muckraking and investigative lights on over here.

Please consider a one-time online donation, or sustaining monthly support of any amount you like (see the light blue box half way down the right side bar to create that support in about 30 seconds!) or a snail mail donation (Payable to: Brad Friedman, 7095 Hollywood Blvd., #594, Los Angeles, CA 90028).

Thank you in advance for what I hope you’ll help to make a very happy birthday week! — Brad

    I have written in my will, for donations to go to you instead of flowers when I croak. ( That may happen sooner than later if I follow your election in Nov)
    If I get any extra $$ before then I will surely send you a Toonie or two.
    🙂

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 45?

    Unfortunately, that’s what we got. Though I’ll just say this. If someone wanted to give Assange a whole bunch of money, but was only willing to do it at PayPal, and if PayPal would allow it, do you think Assange would tell him/her not to give it to him because it was via PayPal?

    Just askin 🙂

    Happy B-day Brad!

    I have a question…does my contribution give you a month long vacation “on the road”?

    Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate what you do for electoral integrity, and your (and Ernie’s) exposure of real election fraud.

    I get no compensation for a vacation. Just sayin”.

    Ancient @7,

    I contribute to Wikileaks using PayPal. You just need to find the way around it.

    I want to get in on this just sayin’ business, too. If my contribution, no really it’s in the mail, helps you take a vacation, I’m just sayin’ that’s fine by me. Just sayin’. Shit, I think I used it too many times, just sayin’. (Shit, did it again. I’ll work on it.)

    Have you ever noticed when you see Brad on TV that there’s a sorta sideways “S” shape to his mouth? I sure have. I always wonder how his interviewers keep themselves from asking about it. Now that the question of Brad’s birth certificate has been brought up, and rightfully so I might add, it occurs to me that the s-curve in his mouth is almost certainly an indication of an extra-terrestrial origin. And I’d bet hags to Hogwarts he’s got an alien twin out there somewhere(or maybe it’s Desi)who’s reverse mouth s-curve when coupled with Brad’s probably produces a Gort-like power creature ray or something. I can only hope that they’ll be able to focus it on all the voting machines simultaneously and give us a chance to be as smart as Ireland or Germany.
