Another SWF/SWJ Annual Fundraiser Update

Dave D: Maybe it is time to make this subscription based. You certainly have more influence than STRATFOR and Inside Defense and all the other subscription based national security related sites out there. Or maybe there should be a limited public site and then a firewall for the true believers who are willing to fork over the funds to keep this great service operating.

Of course I know that is not feasible because to limit access would be to limit contribution and the openness of the web site is one of the most attractive and valuable aspects of this innovative and one of a kind service. I just do not know how to send a wake up call to all those who benefit from this site to step up and make a contribution. I would think that some of the defense corporations or charitable endowments out there would be able to see the value of sponsoring the site (just provide some sustainment funds in return for a banner heading “Brought to you by the generous support from XXX Defense Corporation or XXX Think Tank or XXX Educational Charitable Endowment – organizations that care about national security and the free exchange of ideas and critical thought).
