TCN Fund Drive
Welcome to the delayed TCN fund drive! I write that tongue-in-cheek since few people enjoy being
asked for money. I try to minimize
the fundraising by doing it only two months out of the year and I appreciate
the support I receive from all readers of the TCN. Just by being a subscriber you are showing your support for
my daily news efforts.
I also ask for monetary contributions because there are expenses in
putting together the TCN. If you
would like to contribute you'll find information below on how you can do
so. Other ways you can support the
TCN include purchasing ad space and using my transportation voiceover
services. I'll provide additional
information in the days ahead.
Thank you!

For some reason I think they may see cheap prepaid calling cards as being unreliable. Where I live, anything that is cheap and gets you around conventional channels is suspect. Maybe this is the problem, though I don’t think it is a true observation.
