Please Support Free Speech TV
Thom plus logo
 
Dear Listeners,
 
I wouldn't be writing again if it weren't important: today is the final day of Free Speech TV's year-end fundraising campaign, and we need your help to cross the finish line.
 
Free Speech TV is independent television at its best: leveraging the medium to educate and drive civic engagement.
 
Our future is directly dependent on you. Your tax-deductible gift of $35, $50, or $100 will ensure that we can meet your needs for unfiltered information, while meeting our financial obligations for another year.
 
Your donation today, no matter how big or small, will help Free Speech TV remain committed to taking on the lies and spin - challenging viewers to think critically.
 
This network is the last vanguard of independent support from individual viewers like you.
 
Time is running out to make your contribution. Please donate today at FSTV.org.
 
Thank you and wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons...
 
-Thom
