Roses are red, violets are blue, PolitiFact loves truth, what about you?

Flowers are great, chocolates are stellar, but what PolitiFact would really love is for you to become a member.

Key to PolitiFact’s success is our Truth Squad membership program, which connects you, fact-checking’s biggest fans, with behind-the-scenes content, live video streams with reporters and more.

Having reliable monthly donations from readers allows us to plan our coverage, hire more fact-checkers and expand our coverage to include specific beats, such as immigration and voting rights.

So here’s our pitch: If you start or re-up your commitment to PolitiFact now through this Valentine's Day, we'll send you an "I love facts" sticker like the one above. What better way to show your love for truth in politics?

Here's how to do it:

  • Begin a monthly contribution to PolitiFact
  • Increase your monthly donation by $5, or
  • Increase your yearly donation by $50

As we start the 2020 campaign cycle, your support is perhaps even more critical. We expect to be attacked by partisans who want fact-checking to disappear as a form of journalism. We can’t let that happen, and with your contribution, we won’t.

We love truth. You love truth. Let’s make this work.
