TotSF is my personal project and has no relationship to my employer, Media Access Project. All the views, etc. expressed herein are my own. At the same time, I think we do good work and hope other folks will take the time to appreciate us and support us.
So I am posting a link to MAP’s end of year update and appeal. If you like what we do, have some extra cash, and want to make all of us here at MAP feel appreciated, follow the link at the bottom to make a contribution online (or you can save time and click here).
Of necessity, a lot of the work we do is behind the scenes inside the beltway stuff. We don’t produce the independent programming or the community networks or the innovation on the internet. But we try to get rules that make it possible for that stuff to happen. When we get a donation from someone, however small, it does a lot to boost morale by showing that people care about our work and appreciate why it’s important.
Don’t get me wrong. We have very high esprit d’corp here at MAP. No one does this work and sticks with it unless you think it’s important. But it’s nice every now and then to know someone else appreciates it as well.
Stay tuned . . .

From my amen corner, where pennies are few, I donate merely the good name & posting priveliges of Wetmachine.com as an internet soapbox from which you can announce MAP doings. With any luck our readership will continue to grow, and from that your pool of potential donors will grow too.
In any event our readership is up, since we started this group blog, from 900 “unique” readers/month to 4500 or so. Many more people are aware of the Media Access Project than used to be aware of it, of that I’m certain.
Maybe this time next year I’ll be able to offer a little more.
