From Greg Palast's Mailing List--call for help!
Palast Investigations Under Attack
Iraq oil, elections story scoops generate awards and lawsuits

Our work is under attack and we need your help. Bluntly: without your financial
support, we're finished. GregPalast.com will be no more and the on-going investigation
of the election, the war and globalization shuts down.

Our story on secret US plans for Iraq's oil for BBC and Harper's Magazine has already
generated two threats of lawsuits from the oil industry. Our revelations on the
manipulation of the US voting operations has generated more threats. We still have
bills left over from our smashing legal victory over George Bush Sr.'s partners
in his blood-soiled gold mining business.

Please send us your tax-deductible donation to keep our current investigations alive.
If you can send at least $40 to our educational foundation, I'll send you a signed
copy of "Weapon of Mass Instruction," my spoken word CD, in appreciation.
Go to http://www.gregpalast.com/store.htm

The team is embarking on a whole new round of investigations on the solid evidence
that - gasp! - George Bush did NOT win the last election; on the secrets of Big
Oil and Dick Cheney in their carve-up of Iraq; and more: I am writing this from
Ecuador, covering the State of Siege in this one-time member of OPEC.

Our investigative scoops you hear on BBC, Democracy Now and Air America may win
worldwide journalism awards - but they earn, after our costs, not one single penny.

Donate $200 I'll send you a Patron Saint of Journalism pack: a signed book, film
on DVD, book and the CD. Your donation is tax deductible at http://www.gregpalast.com/store.htm

Greg Palast has never and will never pay a dime to "settle" law suits
against our journalism. Aggressive defense of the truth is costly.

But our biggest challenge is not in a courtroom, but on the airwaves and in print:
to get the word out. Your donation will pay the light and phone bills and most
important, our brilliant multi-lingual research team - and our lawyers. Greg Palast
takes no salary - zero.

But we cannot keep running in the red. So please send us your tax-deductible $40
or $200 donation to our educational foundation. Don't want the CD (produced by
Jello Biafra)? We also have other gifts at http://www.gregpalast.com/store.htm
I'd be happy to sign. Get our BBC film on DVD, Bush Family Fortunes, winner of
the George Orwell Courage-in-Journalism prize or a signed copy of the Election Edition
of the New York Times bestseller, Best Democracy Money Can Buy.

Thank you for all of your support,

The GregPalast.com Team
