An E-mail I just sent...
Jim Guest, President, Consumer Reports...
You would have gotten my donation (and subscription renewal), but you blew it...
You endorsed Obama-care... the most asinine, circularly-referenced bill I've ever seen in my nearly 70 years.
What happened, Obama's goons promise to bail out CU?

[snip]Support Consumer Reports Now with a Tax-Deductible Contribution.
All of Consumer Reports' testing, evaluation and reporting needs your help at this time of economic turmoil. Last month alone, your support enabled us to:
? Rate the performance and value of 59 different vacuum cleaners. ? Evaluate more than 100 LCD and plasma television sets. ? Make smart decisions about refinancing a fixed-rate mortgage. ? Alert homeowners to the dangers of shady "foreclosure-prevention" services. ? And so much more.
By the end of this fiscal year, we will have produced a more expansive, detailed and diverse level of research and reporting than in any period in our 73-year history without compromising our standards of excellence and independence.
Keep this important work happening. Support Consumer Reports now.
Your contribution will ensure that we have the resources to guide you and all consumers with all purchases and investments, however large or small they are.
To keep our vigilance and leadership going strong, please make a generous fiscal-year-end contribution today. Thank you for your steadfast support.
Sincerely,
Jim Guest President
P.S. Whether it's a peanut, plasma screen, or a Prius, we work tirelessly on your behalf every single day. As the largest and most trusted consumer product safety organization in the world, our efforts have never been more important.
