Mother Jones

(I usually avoid repeating ads, but this one is for one of my favorite magazines)

Dear Friend,

There's an assault taking place on the truth, and we simply can't trust the mainstream media any more to provide us with the full story. Or all sides of a story. Quite simply, they're asleep at the wheel.

That's why there's never been a more important time to subscribe to Mother Jones - a truth-telling, muckraking source of quality investigative reporting for over 30 years.

And it's a great time to be a Mother Jones reader, too. Last month, Mother Jones was announced as a triple winner of the 2007 John Bartlow Martin Award for Public Interest Magazine Journalism. The prestigious awards, given by Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, called this year "a sweep for Mother Jones."

I'm writing today to invite you to support this great reporting by subscribing today for just $10.

Check out these recent comments about the magazine . . .

"As well-written as anything out there...Journalistically oriented but more passionate than the news weeklies, it fills a need we didn't know we had." -Chicago Tribune's "50 Favorite Magazines," June 2007

"Mother Jones's mix of pointed commentary and investigative reporting has never seemed fresher...Mother Jones [has] a blast arming its readers for their battle against status-quo politics." -American Society of Magazine Editors' 2007 General Excellence Award Nomination

Of course, your subscription also means you're helping support independent reporting that is unbeholden to advertisers, the government, or the powers that be.

So what are you waiting for?

... get one full year -- six chunky issues -- for less than the price of a pizza. (Your order comes with our no hassle guarantee: If, for any reason, you don't like the magazine, let us know and you'll get every penny back.)

Sincerely,

Jay Harris
