A Thanksgiving Thank You

A Season for Reflection

Thanksgiving invites us to pause: to breathe, to gather, and to look around at what truly matters. For me, this season carries a deeper meaning as I reflect on the first year of Think American News. We began with a simple mission—tell stories that uplift, inspire, and reconnect Americans with the values that hold this country together. In a world filled with noise, negativity, and conflict, we chose a different path. And you chose to walk it with us.

This year, I am profoundly grateful for every reader who opened one of our emails, clicked on a story, shared a piece with a friend, or sent a kind note saying, “Keep going.” Those small actions fuel something bigger than you may realize. They fuel a mission. They fuel a movement.

Our Readers: The Heart of the Mission

From day one, you have shown up. You’ve read our reporting, supported our original content, and encouraged a vision built on civics, kindness, and common sense. Every day, you help us prove that Americans are hungry for stories rooted in truth, humanity, and the values that bind us together—not divide us.

Your support is the reason we publish seven days a week. Your encouragement is the reason we remain committed to honest, uplifting storytelling. And your belief in what we’re building is the reason Think American News continues to move forward, even on the toughest days.

This Thanksgiving, I want you to know this: we would not be here without you.

A Milestone Worth Celebrating

This fall brought an important milestone—one that shapes the future of our work. The Think American Foundation officially received its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.

This Foundation will allow us to expand our mission in powerful ways:
– Training the next generation of fair, responsible journalists
– Creating educational programs focused on civics and community
– Offering opportunities to young reporters who want to tell stories that uplift rather than divide
– Building a pipeline of journalists committed to accuracy, compassion, and the American spirit

This is more than a designation. It’s the foundation of long-term impact.

A Thank You to Our Contributors

I also want to extend heartfelt gratitude to our writers and contributors who show up with passion, integrity, and creativity. Those who have shared their voices with Think American News—through reporting, commentary, or personal perspective—have helped build a trusted home for stories that reflect the best of our country. Your dedication strengthens this mission every single day.

Help Us Keep the Momentum Going

If the mission of Think American News resonates with you—if you believe that civics, kindness, fair journalism, and America’s shared values deserve a place in our national conversation—then I ask you to consider supporting the Think American Foundation.

Your tax-deductible gift helps us:
– Train emerging journalists

With Gratitude

As you gather this Thanksgiving—around loud tables, quiet tables, familiar traditions, and new ones—I hope your day is filled with gratitude, warmth, and the people you love.

From all of us at Think American News, thank you for believing in this mission, supporting this work, and being part of a growing community dedicated to lifting America up.
