A PLEA TO HELP KEEP US ALIVE (IN PRINT AND ON THE WEB)
I think it safe to say that THE VOLUNTARYIST is one of the longest lived libertarian publications in the world. It has been published since October 1982, and first appeared on the worldwideweb courtesy of one of our subscribers, David Dreas, in late 1996. In early January 2003, Charles Gutierrez, another subscriber, acquired the domain name Voluntaryist.com. Since that time, it has served as our primary presence on the web. David, Charles, and I have all contributed large amounts of our time, money, and/or energies toward promoting voluntaryism.
The subscription base for THE VOLUNTAYRIST newsletter has always hovered somewhere between 180 and 225 paid subscribers. While the revenue generated from these snail-mailed copies has always sufficed to pay expenses, it has not made it possible to widely promote voluntaryism via advertisements, conferences, or book publications. In an informal survey conducted during the first half of 2006, at least half of those subscribers receiving THE VOLUNTARYIST wanted to continue their hard copy subscription, in preference to receiving their issue via e-mail or the web.
Over the years there have been a few generous donors to the cause. Their contributions have helped make possible and sustained some of the research that goes into the historical articles that I publish in THE VOLUNTARYIST, as well as having made possible the publication of some of my books.
So, if you want to keep voluntaryism alive via hard copy and the web, here is my pitch to you.
Send a one-time annual contribution to support our work.
You can also donate monthly by clicking on one of the tabs below.
Anyone sending $ 20 or more will receive one complimentary subscription to THE VOLUNTARYIST. Anyone sending $ 100 or more will receive an autographed copy of THE VOLUNTARYIST anthology, I MUST SPEAK OUT. If you choose to donate via PayPal, your money will be directed to THE VOLUNTARYIST via Ideomotion.
Gifts to THE VOLUNTARYIST are not tax-deductible. Our efforts are bound by conscience and goodwill, not by government regulation or the political privilege of tax-exemption.
I hope you find voluntaryist ideas true. Support them by mailing a check to Box 275, Gramling, SC 29348 or by donating via the PayPal button below.
