Friends:
Please read this short note because we really need your help right now.
Last night’s huge news in Congress proves that The Daily Poster’s work is having a major impact. But as a reader-supported outlet, we need your support to keep doing it.
We need our free subscribers to click here to pitch in and use this special discount to become paying subscribers right now.
And remember, when you do that, you get all sorts of exclusive stuff, including our Citizens Guide To Holding The Powerful Accountable and access to our brand new seminar on the secrets of successful open record requests.
PLEASE: We need you to subscribe RIGHT NOW so we can immediately expand our coverage of the events unfolding in Congress on once-in-a-generation climate and health care legislation.
Take a look here and you will see that the mask is off — major corporate media outlets are now actively lobbying to kill climate legislation.
The Daily Poster has been doing the opposite. We helped set up the definitive whip count helping readers hold their representatives accountable, and progressive lawmakers’ stand last night proved that work is making a difference. We’ve also been breaking scoop after scoop after scoop after scoop demonstrating how the corrupt lawmakers trying to kill the legislation are enriching their corporate donors.
Our journalism is making such a big impact that The Washington Post’s top political reporter Dave Weigel just told readers to follow our work because “the question they ask every day is ‘who's paying for these guys to do this?’ which is kind of the only question that matters.” The Nation political correspondent Jeet Heer similarly said “The Daily Poster has been very clear-eyed and also done excellent reporting on the donors that shape the conservative Dems.”
Let’s be clear: Our reporting isn’t just about Congress. As just one example: In the landmark Donziger/climate case that culminated this morning, the defendant Steve Donziger himself just declared that The Daily Poster’s “courageous journalists stepped up (and) wrote one of the best stories ever on my Chevron-financed corporate prosecution.”
But here’s the thing: None of this work is possible without YOUR help. To keep doing more of this work, we need as many free subscribers as possible to become subscribers at a big discount RIGHT NOW.
When you subscribe, you get access to our live events with newsmakers, our podcasts, and exclusive content like Midday Poster, You Love To See It, and Weekend Reader. And you help us hold politicians accountable.
Thank you for considering this request — we wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t really important. Onward.
Rock the boat,
Sirota
