Green Left Weekly $100,000 Emergency Appeal: A special appeal to our
North American readers

Peter Boyle

With just two weeks to go in our emergency appeal, we have $15,700
more to raise to meet our target. Your contribution, big or small,
will help us make or even exceed our $100,000 target.

One reason for our confidence that we will make our target is the
growing number of donations from the readers of the Green Left Weekly
website. On average we are getting 10,000 visitors to
<http://www.greenleft.org.au> every day.

Our internet readership is many times that of those who buy copies of
the paper, or subscribe to it. It is the most-read political website
in Australia and ranks high internationally. Google-search any
political issue and chances are you'll come up with several
links to < http://www.greenleft.org.au> on the very first page of your
search result.

It is wonderful that our internet readers are rallying to support us
with donations and/or internet subscriptions, but we reckon
there's more help we can get from that section of our
readership.

A large proportion of our internet readers are from North
America. Several North American readers also participate actively in
the Green Left discussion list
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GreenLeft_discussion/> and a group of
supporters of Green Left who live in Canada and the United States have
written a special appeal to North American readers to help us out
financially.

We are proud to have among the signatories of this special appeal,
Peter Camejo, the Greens 2003 candidate for Governor of California and
running mate of Ralph Nader in the 2004 US presidential election. A
stirring orator and one of the best-known living socialists in the US,
Camejo was labeled by then Governor Ronald Reagan as "one of the ten
most dangerous men in the country" when he was a student activist on
Berkeley campus in the 1960s.
