In this illustration, Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell and Reps. John Boehner and Eric Cantor are standing in the bloody human, economic and social destruction their party caused during the reckless Bush reign. It lingers because these men stand in the way of relief to the middle class, which they bled for militant corporatistic ventures with a straight face.
Urgent appeal for your support: Help us fight political repression.
Truthout urgently appeals for your support. Under pressure from an array of McCarthyist anti-speech tactics, independent journalists at Truthout face new and mounting political repression.
We rely on your support to publish movement journalism — in fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you. Yet, donations are down at this moment of crisis. We may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser.
We have 72 hours to hit our $26,000 goal. Please contribute a tax-deductible gift to Truthout at this critical moment.
