Request on Swiss bank whistle blower's website for Wikileak supporters to email Swiss prosecutors
Edited on Sun Jan-16-11 11:08 PM by snagglepuss
Not much detail about the request on the site other than names and email addresses but I thought I'd pass the request on to those who want to voice their support for Rudolph Elmer who goes to trial in Switzerland on Wednesday which is two days after he turns over secret Swiss bank records to Wikileaks on Monday in London.

1. I'm not sure what to think about this?

2. Do you think it's an odd request?

3. I sent one to the prosecutor's e-mail address...
As an American, I view Mr. Elmer's information about prominent Americans' hidden Swiss bank accounts as serving the public good.  

We Americans have the right to know if our prominent congresspeople & the American corporations they protect are involved in tax evasion, which is a serious federal offense.  I would like to know if any American public servant is not paying their fair share of taxes at a time when Congress is threatening to cut social programs for the less fortunate in order to balance the national budget.  While the struggles of the middle class & poor are ignored, keep in mind that the majority of our budget goes to the funding of military operations that are against the wishes of most Americans.

Please consider that Mr. Elmer's act of whistleblowing is in the interest of the public good.

In the spirit of justice,

(pacalo)

4. I looked at the website, but don't understand
Are you asking this? Is Wikileaks asking this? Is Rudolf Elmer asking this? What to do?

6. As I mentioned I found the request on Rudolf Elmer's web site and as I mentioned
there isn't a lot of information about it other than his providing names and emails of Swiss prosecutors and as I stated I am simply passing along what I found.

FYI the request which I quoted in full is half way down the column on the left on the page I linked to. Aside from the request for a show of support, the site provides a lot of background information about Elmer and why after being he decided to blow the whistle after 30 some odd years in the business.
