Reason Webathon 2012 w Nick Gillespie, Matt Welch, Kennedy, and more!

As part of Reason's annual fundraising webathon (December 4-11), Matt Welch and Nick Gillespie hosted a two-hour telethon featuring appearances with Reason TV host Kennedy and Reason staffers Katherine Mangu-Ward, Ronald Bailey, Mike Riggs, Peter Suderman, Matthew Feeney, and Meredith Bragg.

Welch, Gillespie, and the rest talked about highlights of Reason's output in 2012 and discussed hopes and fears for 2013. Drug policy, health care, environmentalism, private space exploration, the best movies of the year - these and many other topics were covered.

We're looking for 800 donors between now and next Tuesday to help us be your voice in the fight for "Free Minds and Free Markets." In 2012, Reason staffers published thousands of articles at our own sites and in the pages of outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Washington Post; produced over 500 videos; made hundreds of media appearances on everything from C-SPAN to NPR to PBS to Bill Maher's HBO Show to Fox, MSNBC, and CNN; and made dozens of talks and appearances at colleges, clubs, and elsewhere.

We use the money we raise from contributions to produce the award-winning videos you see here, plus publish the print edition of Reason magazine and Reason.com, the country's largest libertarian news source.

Reason is published by the 501(c)3 nonprofit Reason Foundation and all donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Go to for more information and suggested giving levels.
