(Cross posted from GD): If you're going to buy something online

-- especially at Amazon-- don't forget to click through the affiliate links at your favorite liberal sites. It will cost you nothing extra and you will be supporting liberal and progressive voices by giving them a commission of your purchase.

Some of them I could find are:

thisweekinblackness.com
davidpakman.com
majority.fm
tytnetwork.com
thepoliticalcarnival.net
bartcop.com (not sure if the site is still active)
allthingsdemocrat.com
thepeoplesvoice.org
bradblog.com
alan.com (Alan Colmes)

Just look for the link to Amazon (or their "store&quot on any of the above websites.

Another way to support liberal and progressive causes is to use a site called GoodSearch.com. For every valid search you do, your chosen cause will get a donation. Each donation for each search is small - one penny - but they add up-- especially if a lot of people choose that cause. And every bit helps.

You can do a search to find your cause. I've seen many NPR and PBS affiliates come up. The cause I've chosen was WBAI Radio NYC (wbai.org) - They provide many great programs one of which is Economic Update with Dr. Richard D. Wolff.

Of course, this is not for everybody but I will update and bump this thread from time to time to help remind people who are interested.

Not enough of you liberal and progressive websites have Amazon affiliate links so get 'em up there! I will be looking for more to add to this list!

Thank you very much!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]You can donate to any other cause of your choice by clicking through to on-line vendors via Goodshop,

...by eating out at places in your area registered with GoodDining,

...and every time you do a websearch through GoodSearch (as mentioned).

It's just a little bit each time, but it adds up fast with enough conscientious participants.

More ways to give painlessly: Greater Good and Click-to-Donate. Just make these a part of your daily routine.

You don't have to have money to make a positive difference!



PS: For those who may be tempted to think or use the perjorative term, "slactivist," I refer you to the statesman/philosopher, Edmund Burke, who said: “Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.”

Drop a few TP search strings when you visit a site and Google will present conservative ads there.

Those dark money ads could be used to fund the progressive websites.
