Low Income Readers: DON'T Send Money

Some of ICH's most ardent supporters are low income readers who willingly share their resources in order that we may provide this service. While I think that providing an independent source of news and information is an important and valuable contribution to creating a more peaceful world, I don't think that the weight should be carried by those less able to bear the burden. I ask only that you may encourage others to subscribe to our newsletter.
