615 days from today is November 4, 2008, the next presidential election. Two days later, BC will publish Issue #285 (or thereabouts). Or will we? We want to be there for you with the best reaction and analysis of Election, 2008, but BC being there for November 6, 2008 is UP TO YOU.

BlackCommentator.com relies on you, the BC reader. We will continue publishing the progressive voice of commentary, analysis and investigations on issues affecting African Americans for as long as we are able, but we need your support.
