Mother Jones is unique among news outlets covering the 2012 election. We're a nonprofit dedicated to fearless investigative reporting, so we go beyond the daily play-by-play to illuminate the larger issues—like the influx of shadowy corporate money in politics. Will you give a few dollars to the Mother Jones Investigative Fund to support critical reporting? Even $5 will make a real difference.
