Okay, enough threatening to hold a fundraiser, here we go.

As I've mentioned several times now, we're launching a new site, TPMCafe.com, a companion site to Talking Points Memo. It will include a new group blog with an exciting list of contributors, a handful of topic-specific blogs like our Special Edition Bankruptcy Blog and discussion areas where we're going to try to facilitate more of what readers allowed us to do in tracking the Social Security debate in the first months of this year.

We're hoping to launch next month.

It will be a work-in-progress and, with your feedback, we'll make changes and let the site evolve as we go.

But we need your help to get started. Simple as that. Even small contributions go a long way. Click here to contribute.

And please accept our sincere thanks and appreciation in advance.
