Tonk,
It's time to invoke the political activists creed.
POLITICAL ACTIVISTS CREED;It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brushfires in people's minds -Samuel Adams
Check out powerline, I sent an email asking him to set up a paypal account. We owe this guy a lot.

Tunehead, when you hear how we can help this guy, here is my e-mail addy. Let me know if you would. I don't get to FR too often, so might miss the info. writebill@satx.rr.com
I can't afford a lot, but he damned sure deserves our support.
Well there is that traitor Max Cleland for one......
LOL He'd be pilloried, but heck, the rats will do that anyway! There must be some good paying position for such a hard and honest worker as Steve Gardner, not high profile, but needing a responsible person.
"Gardner got an e-mail from his company, Millennium Information Services, informing him that his services would no longer be necessary. He was laid off in an e-mail -- by the same man who only days before had congratulated him for his exemplary work in a territory which covered North and South Carolina."
There must be some FReepers and/or Veterans who can give him a job.

"Okay, there are too many Steven Gardners in SC. I can't find him without more data - like middle name, etc. Therefore we'll have to write to Swiftees to find out how and if he can be reached for donations. I'm willing to do the legwork - will see where it goes from there."
Great and good on you. When you find him, I'm in for the donations - I contributed to the Swift Boat Vets about 5 times, so a bit more to help a true hero is just fine!
Found the following site - besides writing to them does
anyone have any idea WHAT we could stop buying?
Hit 'em in the pocketbook!

"Found a Freeper (Robe) who lives within 10 miles of the guy. He says Steve Gardner is a great guy, real straightshooter...and doesn't deserve this. Robe will be taking on the fundraising effort. Developing...."
I'm sure Robe is a great person and a true patriot. Nonetheless, the best way to accomplish our donations, IMHO, is to have Robe set up a bank account in Gardner's name with a known, reputable bank so that we can all contribute to that bank referencing the name Steve Gardner and For Deposit Only.
I'd be interested in being on a ping list if someone is making one.
Once he gets a lawyer with proper experience and admissions, I'd be happy to help without charge. However, I cannot be lead counsel on such a case.

Thank you for posting this. I like it!
I'd like to be added to this ping list, too. :)
Powerline has his email up. See #162 for link, not sure if I should post it here, In my opinion we should either have the admin moderator change the thread title to a freeper action type title or start another thread as such.
"....dedication to the truth."
Steve Gardner Bump!
Unless he had a contract or there are written company policies that were violated, as those form a defacto contract, albeit one changeable at the will of the employers.
What he needs is a Republican to hire him.
That should actually be easier than getting any satisfaction in the courts would ever be, were the law was such that it could be had.
You are very welcome. Please share it with others.
