I don't know about you, but pledge week on my local NPR station, WAMU, is really messing up my mornings this week.

Here's a thought for Lawfare readers: donate to Lawfare instead.

Consider: while WAMU has been irritating you all week with demands for money, we have been providing you our usual steady diet of national security law and policy analysis. In fact, this is the only solicitation you will see from us this week, and that's one more than you usually get. This despite the fact that we are no less reliant on user support than is WAMU.

I don't know about you, but pledge week on my local NPR station, WAMU, is really messing up my mornings this week.

Here's a thought for Lawfare readers: donate to Lawfare instead.

Consider: while WAMU has been irritating you all week with demands for money, we have been providing you our usual steady diet of national security law and policy analysis. In fact, this is the only solicitation you will see from us this week, and that's one more than you usually get. This despite the fact that we are no less reliant on user support than is WAMU.

Consider also: WAMU always talks about how you shouldn't free-ride on their station, which you use every day—that is, that you should support the public media you actually use. So here's my question: which do you use and rely on more, WAMU or Lawfare?

Here's my pledge week slogan. Donate to Lawfare Instead: You Rely on Us More, and We Annoy You Less!
