Support Lawfare Too---Or Instead

This week was pledge drive on Washington's major NPR affiliate: WAMU. If you're like me, NPR pledge week involves a certain disruption in daily schedule. NPR is one of my major news sources. But I tend to go without it during pledge weeks on grounds that, well, listening to people harangue me for money is just tedious and no substitute for news. This week, however, the pledge drive held an element of interest for me. Because just as NPR-affiliate has to do, I have been trying to get those who use Lawfare to support a non-profit news operation we provide as a reader service. And just like an NPR-affiliate, I have discovered over the past few months a remarkable thing: people don't do it unless you pester them, and pester them, and pester them some more. This we are not going to do. I will, however, use the occasion of WAMU's pledge drive to remind readers---just once---that everything you heard this week about listener-supported radio applies to the service we provide too. It is not cheap to produce Lawfare. So if you use this service regularly, we ask that you consider supporting it. If you give to your local NPR affiliate, please think about making a contribution to Lawfare too. And if you don't, well, think about contributing to Lawfare instead.
