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.
You just wanted to BUMP the thread so others can read it!
You scared me by saying that and even negligent infliction of emotional distress is actionable. Expect to be hearing from my lawyer. I could use the cash. ;-)
I thought he was first: gong to run to the front of the truck, make faces or grab the microphone or something, then, he suddenly cut like a fullback, jumped on the truck at running speed, and I immediately thought he was on the offense, not sure what, but definitely attacking someone for some reason...and then all of a suden, he stops in his tracks, withut me pushing back at all.
BTTT
Check made out..on the way tomorrow...Chin up my friend, you came to the right place.
I have not had a single problem with PayPal in over two years since I signed up. What sort of problem did you have?
Hello Jim -
Although we've never met - we've communicated a lot over the years, and I've seen lots of your posts and contributions - I'm sorry to hear about this ridiculous suit - Is there a way to counter sue?
In any event - the check is in the mail - really it is!
Are you able to accept PayPal transfers, or any other online money transfers? I'd like to help out, and I can get you money a lot quicker and simpler that way....
lol, I just had to rush to the basement and fix the dryer as it's drum was ready to roll off and crush innocent lawn decorations....the Jeep lost it's brakes today and...etc..
somedays we think we have it tough, but I guess it could be worse...Boise Kimber could have my name and address....
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP??"FReeper needs help" PING!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:

asgardshill is one of the linchpins of our volunteer troop support group that sends care packages to units in the war zones, loosely called The Merry Band of Patriots.
He pinged me to this thread.
Care packages and Thank-you Notes for our Troops in Afghanistan
Christmas for our Troops in Kirkuk
Christmas cards and letters for our Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan
I'd defend any of us that got a bum rap at a FReeper rally, so I'm going to ping my lists, but many of them are already here.

As I posted earlier, I'm sending money. And you'll probably need more than the $8900 because the case goes on.
It's true that the cost of the suit is not tax-deductable. However, whether the contributions are taxable income to you is a separate question. Generally, gifts to an individual are not considered to be income for tax purposes. They are not subject to income tax and are subject to gift tax only when a person gives more than several thousand dollars to any other person.
I'm not an expert. Maybe there is a special rule that makes it taxable when you ask for contributions? At any rate, before you list contributions as income, you should check with a tax advisor unless you already have done so.
No need to explain such for me Race....All I've seen is good from ya.
Duckets enroute........just do us a favor and keep us posted if ya will. In case we can help more.
Stay safe !
Roger that, ma'am. Can the Middle East crowd 'ping' their lists? Impromptu Fundy's here. I don't know RaceBannon too well, but me and JudyB1938 have been together in the Arena since '98, so what she endorses GOES on my end. She was the one who recruited me to FREE REPUBLIC!! 
I'm sure any little amount will help!
Did I miss something here? Have posts been removed?
Sorry Race, I'm laying in bed recovering fom back surgery(they carved me up like a christmas goose), but will pass it along to anyone who will listen!
Sounds like this guy needs to have his clock cleaned.
See what happens when you try to be a nice guy and let an idiot off without pressing charges. Dems like this are crawling out of the stink-holes they slither into more an more these days. We need to throw off the kid gloves against a$$h#le$ like this and start giving them some of what they dish out. Hope you can sue him for defamation when this is behind you!
