Last week we fell behind the pace we need to keep to reach our fundraising goal by April 30. Please, make a donation today to help sustain this site!<\/h4>\n

NMPolitics.net passed the halfway point in its annual fundraising drive last week but hasn\u2019t yet reached 50 percent of its goal of raising $18,000 by April 30. We need your help to keep pace!<\/p>\n

Make a donation today at nmpolitics.net\/contribute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As of today, we\u2019ve raised $8,837, or 49 percent of our goal. Your donations help sustain this site, which can\u2019t survive on revenue from advertising sales alone. This year, I\u2019m hoping to raise enough money to hire reporting help.<\/p>\n

NMPolitics.net \u2018can be counted on\u2019<\/h3>\n

Denise Tessier of Cedar Crest, who donated $10 last year and $20 this year, explained why it\u2019s important to support NMPolitics.net:<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Mexico is fortunate to have a journalist of Heath Haussamen\u2019s caliber, and his news site, which I visit daily, reflects his integrity and news sense. Heath not only provides a reliable, knowledgeable source of reportage for Southern New Mexico, but can be counted on to shed light on important news developments statewide, via both news stories and insightful commentary.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As an example, Denise cited my recent work to go through \u201cdozens of pages of court documents to\u00a0redact personal information<\/a>\u2026\u00a0before posting court documents\u00a0related to alleged voting crimes<\/a>\u00a0in Sunland Park\u201d because the individuals named had not yet been charged with a crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a prime example of Haussamen\u2019s integrity, commitment to responsible journalism and thoroughness in covering a story,\u201d Denise said.<\/p>\n

I appreciate Denise\u2019s words and her donations to help keep this site going. In fact, 97 people have already made donations during this year\u2019s fundraising drive. Thanks to all of you for your support! It makes it financially possible for me to keep this site going, and it provides an emotional boost when the weight of running this site wears on me. (And, from time to time, it certainly does. It\u2019s a lot of work.)<\/p>\n
