The Home Stretch

** Fall 2010 Fundraiser — Day Seven **


Today is the final full day of our quarterly fundraiser. As of this morning, the following regions of the USA have chipped in:

Alabama		Iowa		New York
Arizona		Kentucky		Oklahoma
California		Michigan		Pennsylvania
Colorado		Montana		Texas
Florida		N. Carolina		Virginia
Georgia		N. Dakota		Washington
Hawaii		New Hampshire		U.S. Military (APO)
Illinois		New Jersey

Canada, of course, is also well-represented. From the rest of the world we’ve seen:

Australia		Ireland		Slovakia
Austria		Israel		Sweden
Denmark		Italy		Switzerland
Germany		Japan		The UK
India		The Netherlands

One of the consistent features of these fundraisers is the remarkable generosity of Australians and Texans. Considering how little we cover these places in our posts, it’s amazing that so many people there not only read our work, but send their hard-earned dollars to us.

So, to the Land Down Under and the Lone Star State: many thanks!

Even so, the focus of our coverage evidently does influence donations to some extent. With the emergence of the EDL over the last year our reporting on England has increased, and so have contributions from the UK. But other places that have enjoyed intense scrutiny from Gates of Vienna donate little or not at all.

In other words, it’s all a mystery. People give as the spirit moves them. For that spirit and those gifts we remain deeply grateful.
