Greg Palast will investigate 2004 election; donate and get Al Franken cd
Greg Palast brought to light the stolen election of 2000.

His reporting revealed that 94,000 legal voters in Florida were labelled "suspected felons" and prevented from voting.

Now he's going to investigate the 2004 election, and he needs our donations to help.

Donate $100 and receive a gift of "a 5-CD set of Al Franken, Amy Goodman, and Janeane Garofalo reading 'The Best Democracy Money Can Buy,' Palast's New York Times bestseller ... each personally autographed by the author."

You can donate and get the gift at:
www.gregpalast.com/store.htm

If you can't afford to donate that much, you can receive other gifts with smaller donations.

11. normally when people post stuff like this they have

If they don't, they are usually ignored.

19. Do you donate to anyone or any organizations?
Do you know where all the money goes?

This is an unrealistic standard.

24. Yes, Greg Palast is an individual who has written good
articles on the 2000 and 2004 elections already and will probably write more.

His past behavior-writing good articles-
is a good indication of his future behavior-writing good articles.

2. this sounds great... but whats this on Jeff Fishers site?
Does Greg P know about this fisher stuff? Theres a disclaimer but it still seems weird..
Has any one been able to get in touch with Greg Palast to get his take on the 5 star Trust bank/Madsen story? I'm just wondering if he thinks there's something to that story

4. PayPal may be a scam
Same thing showed up on Cannonfire: Joseph investigated and Greg didn't know anything about it. If you want to give, go to Greg's site directly.

16. Because
Greg Palast is stealing money. Are you going to audit him to check how is he spending the donation money? Or you are just going to have blind faith in this moron?
Wake up and stop the delusion.

35. Agreed Sideways
I need better discipline to not respond to posts so completely ignorant and freeper stenchish that it makes me want to break every DU rule going in my return response LOL

I take solice in knowing though that the majority of DU is intelligent and insightful and can sniff these poster's bullshit from a Party Line away.

I just wish sometimes I could see Skinners Queue of Alerts for some of these 60 IQ'rs

28. She's not one of the people who read the audio-book.
From the email from Greg Palast:

To make this possible, we are asking you to donate $100 or more to fund this work. In return for this tax-deductible donation, we'll send you a 5-CD set of Al Franken, Amy Goodman, and Janeane Garofalo reading 'The Best Democracy Money Can Buy,' Palast's New York Times bestseller ... each personally autographed by the author.

Also joining Palast on this 5-CD audio version of the book are trouble-makers Jim Hightower, Ed Asner, Alec Baldwin, Alexandra Paul, Shiva Rose, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, and the man who made the Dead Kennedys come to life, Jello Biafra.

Make your donation right now at www.gregpalast.com/store.htm.

36. Funny Al is on this collection reading... and Debunks the fraud story
Just a side note.
Its great that Greg is going deeper into the Fraud issue.
I find it very ironic that Greg is giving out a CD with
Al Franken who is debunking the fraud issue on his show... I sure hope
That Greg can investigate this and break the REAL story and then remind Al that his voice helped get the goods..... I imagine Mr. Franken will eat his hat.
Or perhaps he does believe theres Fraud but keeping a low profile

37. My opinion is that voter-suppression has been
Edited on Sun Nov-28-04 04:10 PM by Eric J in MN
proven but fraud hasn't yet.

I consider the election illegitimate because of the voter suppression-Matt Damschroder of Franklin County, Ohio diverted voting machines from black neighborhoods to white neighborhooods.

I also consider the election illegitmate because of the ease they could have committed fraud with paperless electronic-voting machines.

And for other reasons.

But I don't think fraud has been proven yet (if one makes a distinction between voter-suppression and fraud) and so I don't mind that Al Franken is unconvinced so far.

39. Yes makes sense
Its very hard to prove Fraud with paperless electronic-voting machines
It seems there was possible many different stealing methods/suppression at play...Time will hopefully reveal the truth. it sure looks very suspicious.

40. Franken didn't debunk, just healthy skept. until proven. Waiting for proof
which is only reasonable for him in his position.
