December 14, 2005 - We did it! Thanks to you, our dear readers, our end-of-year fundraiser has been a huge success. I should wait until we update our cool money-meter graphic on the right, but I can't wait to share the good news: we have met the $7,500 challenge, which means an anonymous donor will match, dollar-for-dollar, $7,500 worth of contributions.

November 23, 2005 - Our end-of-the-year fundraiser to benefit our Investigative Fund -- sponsor of Gulf Coast Reconstruction Watch and other muckraking initiatives -- is still going strong.
