Come On Folks!
 I Really Need You To Get Behind ICH

 

 The last 3 fundraisers have fallen short of meeting our minimum expenses. Our prudent reserve is exhausted and our plans to add new features and update the website are on hold.

 This is one of the few non commercial sources of news and information on the web.
While many of us complain about main stream media we have to act to ensure that an alternative not only survives but prospers, because "Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people" - John Adams - Second President - 1797 - 1801.
 

 To whom will you entrust your liberty? Who will you rely on to tell you the hard facts? Who will you trust to collect and deliver vital information to your email inbox?


 
Information Clearing House has been described by John Pilger as having a "wonderfully free rebellious spirit" If you agree with John act now click the link http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/support.htm  .

 Thank you. Your help is greatly appreciated. Tom Feeley
