Dear Politickle Pals:

2008 marks the Eleventh Anniversary of "Your Weekly Politickle," which has been provided free of charge to email subscribers since 1997! And free it will remain. A few years ago, however, I initiated an annual May Day appeal for self-imposed subscription fees (i.e., donations); and today I am renewing that appeal.

Please determine the amount you wish to contribute, if any, and send check, cash, or money order to: Politickles, 11916 Old St. Charles Road, St. Louis MO 63044. (Or make a Paypal donation online by clicking the "Make a Donation" link in the left sidebar.)

FAQs: How much should you donate? Again, that's for you to decide. It depends on how much you like, and value, "Your Weekly Politickle." For a one-year (52-week) subscription, for instance, you might contribute $5.20 (10 cents a laugh).

Can you contribute more? Of course, you can. Far be it from me to stifle a generous impulse. Rest assured, there is no maximum donation amount and all contributions will be gratefully accepted, no matter how large.

Must you contribute in order to continue receiving "Your Weekly Politickle"? Of course not. It's voluntary, remember? Must you contribute in order to terminate your subscription? Again, no. (But that's an interesting idea.) Are donations tax deductible? Afraid not. Politickles.com is a no-profit, not a non-profit, organization.

Please make your donation today, and pass this appeal on to all your like-minded friends, relatives, and acquaintances.

Regards,

F.R. Duplantier
