This week from a Reader in Canada:

"My question is: What will it take for your point of view to make it on news channels like CNN,
ABC, NBC,etc..? Your organization gives me hope that one day soon the truth will come out. Great job."

If MER is to move forward and have the kind of impact we can and should now have, independent financial support is now absolutely crucial. After all the steps we have taken in recent years to reorganize and improve MER, serious financial support is now the key missing ingredient we must have. Yes we are now positioned to reach far more persons worldwide and to have far greater impact including on radio and TV programs. But this can happen only with your substantial financial support. So please contribute this weekend making your check to MER and sending to:

I often read your articles and admire their strength and courage. However, this time I had to respond to your piece on Arafat because each and every point it made - especially about the King interview - were absolutely true, and beautifully articulated. The political sclerosis of 'Palestinian' leadership is not particular to Palestine, but most of the Arab world. As I winced from embarrassment as I saw Chairman Arafat stutter and puff himself like a teddy bear the American air waves, I moved from channel to channel not bearing to see the entire interview. God help the Palestinians!

I'm very impressed with your reporting and its accuracy. Most importantly is how other print and news media don't report anything until days after it appears on MER. My question is: What will it take for your point of view to make it on news channels like CNN, ABC, NBC,etc..? I've always felt that people are misled when it comes to world politics but your organization gives me hope that one day soon, the truth will come out. Great job.

Your new MER Report is absolutely extraordinary. While I don't agree with all of your views I think you're doing one hell of a job. Keep up the good work.

Your reporting is a breath of fresh air. I look forward daily to receive your impartial, insightful and honest articles. You are indeed an �Oasis of Truth� for those who are trying to make sense out of the confusion in Middle East Politics.
Thank You,

Dear Mer Staff:

The Last paragraph of part II made tears well up in my eyes. . .Mr. Arafat, was a man liken unto Moses. He fought the good fight, and he was despised by people who think nothing of real freedom; and the right to all life. His tragic end. . .and the many that preceded him will be remembered into eternity. . .He, they, and Our Loving God, will always be watching to see how far real human being will take their courage. . .and their dignity. . .to truly be free. . . God Help Us All. . .Amen Respectfully,

Dan J. Jovanovic,

I just recently started reading your website, MER, and I must say I learn more from you than anyone else...ironically I was about to send this email, when I pulled up your biographical information...and the statement at the top of the page was identical to what I wanted to say about the clarity with which you write on this issue.

Your writing is needed now, more than ever.

Thank you,

Theresa Robinson
