Article: 'Daily Voting News' For August 28, 2008

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org It is never easy asking for funding but it is something that non-profit groups have to do occasionally. VotersUnite.Org is not a project of Pew or one of the big-money organizations and we don't want to be. We like being able to make our own decisions and not having to make those decisions based on a position of a sponsoring organization. However, this freedom means we have to do our own fundraising and we have to ask, hat in hand, for your help. "Daily Voting News" is a near daily service provided by VotersUnite free of charge to subscribers.
