When the syndication service of the legendary Texas progressive refused
to distribute his column, we proudly put it on our homepage.

Friend,

For more than four decades, Jim Hightower has been one of the most
insightful and fearless speakers of truth to power in U.S. politics.

But what happened when he used his weekly syndicated column to call out
Wall Street hedge funds for buying up newspapers all over the country?
His syndicator refused to distribute the column, fearing a backlash from
their corporate paymasters.

Common Dreams refused to let Jim Hightower be censored. We ran that
column and proudly featured it on our homepage.

Common Dreams exists to amplify the voices that the corporate media
silences. And with the media ever more concentrated in the hands of a
tiny number of massive conglomerates, our work is more essential than
ever.

However, in order to make this independent, corporate-free journalism
model work, we rely solely on readers for our funding. So today we're
asking: Will you support our Fall Campaign so that we not only survive,
but thrive?
