This is What $100 Gets You: Reason Webathon 2013

As noted earlier, today is the first day of Reason's annual webathon. Over the next week, we're looking to raise $100,000 in tax-deductible contributions so Reason magazine, Reason.com, and Reason TV can keep bringing you award-winning, cutting-edge libertarian journalism and commentary.

For a $100 donation, you'll get a free print or digital subscription to Reason, the nation's (and planet's!) only magazine of "Free Minds and Free Markets." You'll also get your choice of a classic black Reason T-shirt or this nifty "Be Paranoid" number to the right.

For a full list of swag associated with various giving levels, go here how.

Reason is published by a nonprofit and your tax-deductible donations help us keep the lights on, pay the bills, and, most important, acting as your voice in public debates over politics, culture, and ideas.

As Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) put it in a Twitter chat with Reason earlier this year

I'd say the prospects for a more libertarian future are better than they've ever been and @reason can take some of the credit. What's worse, is that government had to get so large and out of control for people to begin to react.

So give what you can and we'll keep pushing forward into the future while taking swings at everything that is rotten in the world.

Start your day with Reason. Get a daily brief of the most important stories and trends every weekday morning when you subscribe to Reason Roundup.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

    I can't wait to cut the sleeves off that and go picking up ladies. YOKELTARIAN!

    1. Paul.   12 years ago

      How do you roll up your cigarette pack when you cut off the sleeves?

      This is a true yokelicious conundrum.

      1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

        I don't smoke those disgusting coffin nails. And chaw stores neatly in the back pocket of my Dockers.

        1. Paul.   12 years ago

          Chaw in your back pocket makes your ass look big.

          1. Scarecrow Repair   12 years ago

            Only one side, unless you carry chaw in the other side for your ... other ....

  2. Raven Nation   12 years ago

    Let's get donating! I'm putting up $100 tomorrow. Who's next?

    1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

      Whoa. Pace yourself. This is going on for another week.

  3. Raven Nation   12 years ago

    OK, OK. I'm just afraid Reason will go broke and I will be cut off from the articles but, more importantly, the incisive comments from such renowned folks such as, say, Fist of Etiquette.

    1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

      Example.

  4. Apatheist ?_??   12 years ago

    Sweet, I didn't want third of those regular shirts.

  5. INFORG   12 years ago

    OK, I got my donation out of the way instead of waiting until the end like I usually do. I thought I read something about an early bird special and naked photos of LUCY?

    1. SweatingGin   12 years ago

      Don't talk shit about Lucy.

    2. Paul.   12 years ago

      The photos come in a sleeve, so they're not naked.

    3. Paul.   12 years ago

      FWIW, naked picture of Lucy.

  6. Archduke von Pantsfan   12 years ago

    $100?
    What am I, a wealthy industrialist?

    1. Gozer the Gozerian   12 years ago

      Nobody needs two monocles!

  7. RishJoMo   12 years ago

    Jack Frap said that aint gonna happen!

  8. Atanarjuat   12 years ago

    Actually, there's a picture of me on Facebook wearing a reason shirt I got from a webathon some year. One of my sister's friends, a hawt chick, wrote something positive about my "intelligent threads".
