Due to several business expenses registering at once, including our advertising fees and lower subscriber rate this month we desperately need $90 by Monday.  We also need help raising money for a new server to last us 5 more years, we expect to pay about $3,600.  A monthly contribution of any level helps us to pay our bills.

Students in Texas offer porn in exchange for Bibles, the campaign is called smut for smut.  I urge you to support this project with your voice.  Follow the students on twitter @AtheistAgenda and respond to criticisms and whining from theists on news sites around the net.  

Visit this thread for more details on smut for smut: http://www.rationalresponders.com/smut_for_smut_atheist_agenda

Due to the recent closing of a very popular atheist forum and a broken community the RRS is reaching out on atheist websites reminding folks that our forums are designed to unite activist atheists and foster a community that can work to get behind projects like the one created by our heroes of tomorrow at USTA.  Please visit this thread to make a very small contribution that supports a whole slew of atheist websites and will help unite atheist activists on RRS where their content and opinions will remain safe and welcome.

Let's get ahead in our knowledge of the movie expelled before it actually comes out...

Keep checking Expelled Exposed for the National Center for Science Education's official response to the Ben Stein movie Expelled; for now, we hope you will find this collection of resources helpful. (all info from ExpelledExposed)

The DVD's are gone.  The challenge is not.

See this video.

Quite a few fundraisers...

I say degenerate atheists in the title, in the sense that one is a degenerate gambler. I know you're out there, I am one of em. I'll keep throwing money at this until I'm out of it, and I know there are quite a few of you in the low end of the tax bracket that are forking over the dough, believe me it's appreciated. We're working hard right now to get two years worth of site improvements and fund raising out of the way so we can revive focus on our show and other bigger projects we're working on. We certainly have been asking for and receiving a lot of help in the process, sometimes we can't help but feel like televeangelists. Thanks so much everyone for getting us this far.

Let me break some need areas down as fast as I can...
