Non-Profit Offers 500K Reward For Whistleblowers Who Have Specific Information About Michael Connell And His Companies

VelvetRevolution.us ("VR"), a government non-profit located in Washington, DC, is offering a $500,000 reward for information about the Ohio companies, GovTech Solutions and New Media Communications, which are owned or operated by Michael Connell, his family or business partners. VR is also seeking information about another Connell company located in Virginia called Connell/Donatelli. Such information must result in an arrest and conviction of Connell or other high government officials.

VR is working with whistleblowers who say that Connell and his partners and companies are implicated in the United States Attorney scandal that has been widely publicized in the national press. White House political affairs officials used ‘off-grid’ email systems, including addresses from the domain which Connell used to run the Internet campaigns for George W. Bush’s presidential bids, to communicate about the US Attorney matter and other issues that officials wanted to hide. There has been testimony before Congress about this matter.

New Media Communications, described by employees as the "Bell Labs of the GOP," and GovTech Solutions, are operated by self professed "Bush loyalists." New Media “will not work for Democrats,” according to Connell.

Whistleblowers and other information indicate that Connell’s companies and affiliates have been involved with many of the GOP’s major electoral dirty tricks and scandals of the last decade. Connell was fired for electoral phone-scripting activities that his boss termed “clearly unethical.” Connell and his affiliates are implicated or directly involved in efforts to coordinate corporate ‘grassroots’ for the GOP and White House political agendas, illegal phone-jamming in New Hampshire, outsourcing Ohio’s 2004 election results, Swift Boating John Kerry and John Murtha, and many others dirty tricks.

Connell, within weeks after the 2001 inauguration of George Bush, was rewarded with a contract for GovTech to be the first private company allowed behind the firewall of Congress’ computer servers. This gives GovTech access to and control of all information in the computers of the House Intelligence Committee, House Judiciary Committee, House Ways and Means Committee, and many other Congress Members and federal agencies. Our whistleblowers have indicated that Connell now has the ability to spy on these important House Committees, presently controlled by Democrats, without detection.

VR's reward is seeking additional whistleblowers who work or worked for these companies to expose more facts related to these scandals and other questionable or illegal actions committed or planned by high level employees of these companies. VR believes based on information already received, that additional employees have such information. Contact VR at 1-888-VOTETIP.
