Thanks to the support of many, NMPolitics.net has raised $3,820 toward its goal of raising $18,000 by April 30. As more newspapers charge for access to their websites, NMPolitics.net needs your help to keep its content free, and to grow. Make a donation today!<\/h4>\n

The Albuquerque Journal charges $8 per month<\/a> for access to its website. The Las Cruces Sun-News, Farmington Daily Times, Carlsbad Current Argus, Alamogordo Daily News, Silver City Sun-News and Deming Headlight charge $5.99 per month, or $59.99 per year<\/a>. The New York Times charges $15 per month<\/a> following a promotional period.<\/p>\n

NMPolitics.net, on the other hand, is working hard to keep its content free. But to sustain and hopefully grow the site, that means I need help from those of you who can afford to make donations.<\/p>\n

Without your voluntary financial contributions, NMPolitics.net would not exist.<\/p>\n

As of this morning, NMPolitics.net has raised $3,820, or 21 percent of the year\u2019s fundraising goal of $18,000, which I\u2019m trying to reach by April 30. As I\u2019ve written<\/a>, if I reach that goal I plan to hire a reporter to expand our coverage of politics and government.<\/p>\n

If you can afford to do so, make a donation today at nmpolitics.net\/contribute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Subscribing to the Sun-News and other newspapers in that chain will cost you $60 a year. Subscribing to the Journal will cost you $96 a year. Even a $10, $25 or $50 contribution helps NMPolitics.net.<\/p>\n

I welcome larger donations as well! Allen Stenger of Alamogordo donated $250 to NMPolitics.net earlier this month.<\/p>\n
