I am being sued for something that happened at the December 2000 Freep of Joe Lieberman.
JimRob has allowed me to hold an internet fundraiser to help defray the costs of my lawyers fees.
I am broke and thousands of dollars in debt, and depending on how much I can collect here, I amnot sure if I can continue or work to sign a mutual release if offered.
Right now, we have ended the discovery phase, and are awaiting the deposition of the man who accused me of assaulting him that day.
That charge is a lie.
The following story below is my short account of what happened that day.
$10.00 check going out in the mail tomorrow.
If this suit is successful, we're all in line for the same. The DNC will jump on this gladly.
I just licked the envelope. It's not much but every bit should help. Best of luck
For those of you who don't know Race Bannon, let me tell you about a couple of incidents about him:
He was a lone Freeper in Hartford, CT one night -- who stood against a hostile crowd. That was the first time I had heard of Race -- but not the last.
Another time was at a Hillary Freep in NY State.It was a hot, sticky day, and Race showed up, sweating, and with his tie askew. He was carrying a pile of big signs, and had parked quite a distance away and had to walk a bit to get to us. He apologized for being late and said he had attended church and couldn't leave. When I mentioned that it was too bad that he had to walk so far from his car, he said "I'm a Marine. I do what I have to do.!" (OWTTE)
Race is a big guy, and people try to set him up --- (as this guy in the case has). At a Hillary book-signing in NJ, when Race had his arm in a sling from surgery, some guy came up real close to him, but Race quickly stepped back ---knowing that the man could say that Race had touched him - and then yelling assault. Race is pretty saavy about such things. He knows the protocol.That is why this counter-protester is waaaaay off.
I'm sure many have their Race Bannon stories. This is a pretty special person. I hope this thread will spread and help him out of this jam.
Thank you, Race, for standing up for us all at that Freep! I can't do much, but will send what I can, $20. Maybe I can do more later. God Bless and Keep you, and Grant you Victory over the Liar who is suing you falsely!
Foolish statement. It won't be taxable towards the GIVER'S estate tax credit, but it WILL be taxable towards the recipient.
No flames here. I'm just truly speechless seeing your conduct on this thread.
You are not the one that should be embarrassed.
Ping
Please help race with money and prayers, thank you.
Has your lawyer filed a counter-suit for harrassing you with a frivilous lawsuit (whatever the technical term is)? Has this guy kept up with papers or whatever? When is the court hearing?
You have witnesses to testify on your behalf. Does the nut? What kind of insurance company does he think you have that will settle with him (which is what all nuts want)?
"Let's help out" ping.
A little bird told me that we have some rough seas ahead in our communities.
The liberal God hating left is going to help us destroy each other if we let them and we know who's side Satan will be on. They have begun with their media already. They fear us. They want us all demoralized, and what better way than encourage dissent among us.
Just something I have sensed only recently.
I figure that if we are aware of the pitfalls, it won't happen.
What did he say?
"...it's an attempt to restrict our right to peacefully assemble because we might get SLAPPED with a frivolous lawsuit. It's worth top billing IMHO."
I agree with you. This is something that affects every Freeper. I believe we must all fight this action just as if we were all under attack. (And just because I'm an aussie doesn't make any difference, does it?) Keep this thread going please, until all the money is raised and to let us know of the conclusion. ( Three Musketeers? All for One and One for All?)
in the mail tomorrow, God Bless!
Would an abuse report suffice??
