FUNDRAISER:LAWSUIT: FREEPER SUED FOR ELECTION 2000 FREEP OF LIEBERMAN EVENT

self ^ | 11/15/04 | RaceBannon

[RaceBannon]

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.

I know. I never failed to stop and pick up a Marine or a Sea Bee that was broke down along the side of the road. One thing those boys always said was that the USAF had the better motor pool and vehicles. In the clubs along the Gulf Coast back in the early 70's, servicemen stuck together and drank and watched each other's backs. I was always happy when a Gunny or a Bosun's Mate was in a fray with me. Good luck Race, Freepers is my family.

Maybe not so odd, Kimber got the law suit that he wanted.

Yeah, you're right. What I should've said in the post was: "seemed odd at the time". Check out Race's "Boise Kimber" links in his post #1. This guy Kimber is a real 'operator'...

I've just finished reading the book of revelations. Guess what? We win!

Woo hoo!

I'm sending a check in the morning.

Pinging Freeper FRiends to please come to the aid of our fellow Freeper, Race Bannon.

If everyone would send something we can help Race pay his legal bills and win this case!

CAN YOU PLEASE HELP??
I am forced to ask, but can you consider donating to help me pay my legal fees?


Because of this false charge against me, I am now over $8000 in debt to my lawyer, and we cannot continue until I can pay my bill!


Could you please send me $5 or $10 or $20 to help my legal fees?


If you can, Please send a check or money order to me directly at:

I did not grab him, I held out my hand in front of his chest, he ran into my hand, we stood there for 3 seconds, then he jumped off the truck, the cops lead him away, and he waved to the crowd with bothhands, smiling, laughing almost...

9 months later he sues me for assault...

[Joe Hadenuf]

Race needs help, big time. It would be tragic to see him ruined financially because of some Jesse Jackson wanna-be.

Actually, you can rest easy. After reading what was alleged to have occurred, I am pretty confident that no one would ever be financially ruined due to a matter such as this.

[asgardshill]

No joking on my part either. I have no idea what you are babbling about.

[Cloud William]

Bump for later reading, blood pressure permitting.

[Joe Hadenuf]

What are his medical bills/expenses so far?

[Pajamajan]

Sending a donation to you. Good luck .

[Colorado Doug]

You may be a newbie but you have the right spirit!

[fatima]

Tell him to set up a paypal account-easier-faster for donations.For you Race.

I was there that day... It happened exactly as RaceBannon has told it.

Sorrisi! I didn't know you then... didn't realize you were there that day. ;-)

What an amazing rally that was, huh? There had to be over 400 of us on our side! And - just as you described it - their side was pretty lame, until Kimber arrived with his bullhorn.

[Humidston]

Please set up a ping list from this thread and keep all of us updated, ok? I don't want to miss any updates and I'm sure many others of us feel the same.

If it gets dicey, you can even FReepmail so it stays under the radar screen.

IT'S TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS! ;-)

[RaceBannon]

I am just overwhelmed at the support I am getting!

My prayer list is too big now, I can only mention FreeRepublic.com and hope the Lord knows I mean all of you! :)

[Jaysun]

Jim,
Have you thought about getting a PayPal account or something like that? That way we can give over the net with our credit / debit cards.

[Madame Dufarge]

A humble contribution on the way tomorrow.

Joe, the reason I wrote that is because in posting #12 Race wrote, This case has already caused me to cash in a 401K retirement fund to pay my legal fees. I am unemployed and collecting. That's a lot of stress in anybody's book.
