Is Your Mind Worth Fighting For?
I need 334 people to stand with me
Out of the Million Or so People who visit this website every month. I need 334 of you to step forward and support Information Clearing House in this effort to ensure that an alternative source of news and information exists to inform and cut through the distortions and lies told by a manipulative Main Stream Media.
