Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about war and peace, democracy, the climate catastrophe, and economic and racial justice, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED until midnight ET, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

    As we gear up for our coverage of the Democrat and Republican conventions this summer, we are going to be looking closely at the money and corporations behind the conventions. We now turn to a commentary by the Washington bureau chief of the Buffalo News, Douglas Turner, about how corporate America is ginning up $42 million to help the two political parties pay for their conventions and purchase influence no matter who wins.
