Reason magazine's Webathon 2014 raises $200K

Reason Webathon 2014: We Reached $200,000 Thanks to You! - Hit & Run : Reason.com:

December 9, 2014 - "With six hours to go, we've already reached our goal of raising $200,000 in tax-deductible donations to support Reason's print, online, and video journalism. Thank you for opening your wallets to further the cause of "Free Minds and Free Markets."

And if you haven't given yet, don't be shy! You've got until midnight tonight (or even the wee small hours of the evening and next morning) to make a donation....

"Make no mistake: The Libertarian Moment is not about politics per se. It's about the radical decentralization of information, power, and autonomy that is leeching authority out of all the old established places (goodbye, New Republic) and into the hands of people who are ready, willing, able to grab it with both hands and innovate and live their lives without asking permission. As Matt Welch and I argued in The Declaration of Independents (2011), politics is a lagging indicator of American society and it's no coincidence that the places where your life is mostly likely to suck — education, health care, and retirement — are mostly or wholly run and regulated by the government....

 "We cannot do what we do without your help and the fact that we have already raised 33 percent more than we did last year is one more sign that our vision of "Free Minds and Free Markets" is becoming more interesting and attractive to more and more people.

"Our numbers are up — Reason.com has more than doubled its audience since 2011 alone and is now pulling over 4 million visits per month — across every possible measure. And so is our energy and drive, thanks to your gracious and generous support."
