Swift Boat Vet Receives Help from Former Whistle-Blower
Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty ^ | 10 January 2005 | Gary Aldrich

Posted on 01/14/2005 6:55:14 AM PST by concretebob

Steve Gardner, member of the effective 527 group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is getting legal and financial help from Gary Aldrich, former whistle-blower and president of The Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty. Gardner, also know as "The 10th Brother", was one of two men who courageously refused to stand with Senator John Kerry at the Democratic convention. As a result of this and an interview he gave stressing his strong opposition to a Kerry presidency, Gardner suffered threats, insults, and, finally, a mysterious firing from his lucrative employment. Gardner, an exemplary manager, was fired within 24-hours of the release of the article detailing his strong opinions against Kerry. In a phone call, Gardner's former manager admitted that top company officials were "Democrats" but denied that Gardner's anti-Kerry stance played any part.

Interesting.

Was wondering what legal defense or help could be had for vindictive firings.
Sounds like there's someone who can help with that.
(Sorry if I sound dense right now. I'm not awake yet.)

Good news. Gary is also one of the good guys, and he's backing my assertion up with actions.

Just a coincidence!

I've been impressed with this gentleman's ability to seperate the job from the politics since I read his first book.
He is most definitely, one of the good guys.
