Greetings!
The New Significance (TNS) is a web magazine exploring revolutionary forces for change and autonomy in the 21st Century. So far, we are a little less than two months old. To help ensure our existence into the future we have recently embarked on a fundraising campaign. We began fundraising at the beginning of June and hope to meet our goal of raising $10,000 by August. We have gotten off to a slow start, but with your help, we think we can do it. Here is how:
- Use the share buttons and email forward options contained in this email to spread the word about TNS.
Every little bit helps... We hope you enjoy your sample TNS web magazine below. Please make sure you check out our video exclusives located at the bottom of this email.
Thank you, TNS

We now have commercials in our schools and on our clothes. They clog up - with increasing speed - nearly every form of communication we devise.
