Please Help! Our Situation is Beyond Critical
 
  We Are Fighting For Survival.  
We would prefer to research articles that expose the war party and increase our awareness and respect for others, rather than creating graphics and crafting slick PR slogans that pluck at the heart strings and emotions of ICH readers.

In Fact we refuse To Do So. We have more respect for you and ourselves than to use such methods. We will simply state the facts.

This month has been a disappointment with only 268 readers contributing to support ICH in our efforts to provide an alternate source of News and Information.

We need another 182 people who value this service to click the link below.

If you read our newsletter or visit our website on a regular basis, We ask you to please support our work by making a contribution.

Thank you. Your help is greatly appreciated. Tom Feeley
