| Dear Western Journal reader, During the wonderful election year of 2016 our publication, The Western Journal was seen in the Facebook news feed 11 Billion times. I liked to think of us as candidate Donald Trump's go-to media. While the mainstream media was slashing and burning candidate Donald Trump, here at The Western Journal we were giving him a fair shake. We covered his generous advocacy for the hurting and downtrodden. We covered his special and unique family. We even held an election night livestream viewed by 11 million people where we declared him the winner (based on our analysis of the election returns over two hours ahead of the mainstream media, even FoxNews.) I tell you this because Facebook has determined to put The Western Journal out of business. They have waged a war against us, and they launched it six weeks after Donald Trump's historic victory. As we prepare for coverage of the 2020 election, Facebook has limited the ability of our over 40 million followers to see our unbiased and straightforward coverage of politics and President Trump. We estimate in 2020 we will be seen in the Facebook news feed less than 100 million times. This is a drop in Facebook reach of 90%. That is why you are so important. As one of our loyal readers, I need you to consider taking a step to keep our content current and accessible to everyone. While many publishers have used the marketplace changes we have seen to place content behind a paywall, here at The Western Journal, we are committed to reaching everyone. We don't want to launch a paywall. That is why I want you to consider a voluntary subscription gift equivalent to a dime a day. This would be a one time gift of $36.50. If this is more than you can provide, we understand and would accept your voluntary subscription of any amount over $1.00. If your send $36.50 for the next year, I want to send you a free T-shirt to say thanks. Your shirt will say: "I am an honorary Publisher of The Western Journal." If you would consider twenty cents a day or $73.00 for the next year, I will also send a signed copy of my soon to be released hardcover book, Big Tech Tyrants, as an additional thanks. Most importantly, you will be funding news which doesn't have an anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-Christian bias. You will be keeping The Western Journal from having to erect a paywall and keeping our best content from Conservative Tribune, Liftable and Herman Cain behind a paywall. Thank you for seriously considering our request. As I watched President Donald Trump and Vice President Pence launching the 2020 campaign from Florida, I thought it was important to keep the media that gives him a fair shake alive and reporting. Don't let Big Tech suppression of The Western Journal knock us out of business. With your help, The Western Journal will continue to be the go-to news organization for 2020 coverage of the most important campaign in any of our lifetimes. Yours truly, Floyd Brown Publisher, The Western Journal  |
