24 February 2009. $400,000 per year seems steep and may portend an eventual shutdown or conversion to commercial operation. Commercial conversion would probably mean purchase by one or more governments by direct contract or by cut-out. Keeping Wikeleaks free of that all too common takeover is worth supporting. No doubt, the more Wikileaks succeeds the more it will be targeted for takedown by any means necessary. Even then another will rise to take its place, and another after that. Give it a try but don't expect to make any money or pay expenses. Hiccup.

Subject: [WIKILEAKS] Wikileaks letter

The Sunshine Press (Wikileaks) is in a dire financial position.

We need your letter of support.

Although we expect to receive some $2M in funding later this year,there has been no formal funding since last year.

This organization's positive world impact has never been higher, but it is, as a consequence, also more expensive run and ran out of formal funding four months ago. Since that time our staff and lawyers have funded the entire organization from their modest personal savings and anyone else they can find to assist.

The reason that impartial, revelatory investigative journalism has been traditionally funded by readers is that governments and billionaires alike will not support groups which are tasked to expose and reform them.

Despite being universally recognized as being the most important stimulus of democratic reforms, government funding for such organizations is non-existent.  At the same time organizations which are guaranteed to have no domestic political impact are well funded.

On-line donations, an important buttress to our ability to take on all governments and companies with total independence, have amounted to around $10,000 since the beginning of the year. Costs outside of court actions are almost $400,000 per year.

Our $2M funding injection later this year will support a radical expansion of our mission. Until then, your support, and that of your friends and colleagues, will mean the difference between continuing to fight the good fight and shutting down.

If you support our work or have benefited from our cause, please write a strong letter of recommendation we can to present to additional funding bodies. You may examine our front page or google news for ideas.

Also consider an easy on-line donation; every contribution, no matter how small, will directly extend the number of months and days we can continue taking on the world:
