Serving OB, the Peninsula and San Diego Beaches
Just about two weeks ago, the OB Rag began our Fall fund-raising campaign.
Our goal: $2,000 – we knew it was a lot to shoot for, but … hey … a goal is a goal, right?
Well, OB came through – our friends, readers and supporters – all sent us a hearty thanks with their donations – that totaled – as of today – a whopping $1,885!
Which is pretty damn awesome.
Thirty people – most from OB – sent us help.
Thanks so much, everyone.
We can continue in this dark Trumpland period – …
Say Keep it goin' to the OB Rag
with your donation today!

This is great but I hope you don’t lose focus on the local issues in the midst of all the trump news! That’s my vote anyways.
KH – that’s the challenge for us – and our readers. We do try to seek a balance between local OB/ PL news, San Diego news, regional and national – and some international. The OB Rag and its writers have important perspectives on what’s happening in Trumpland – and we cannot stop posting about what is happening to our country and our flailing democracy.
See what happened last Sat. at Liberty Station – a hate crime was committed – definitely local news.
We just received another $25 donation – which pushes up past $1,900! Thanks so much.
