“Gardner got an e-mail from his company... informing him that his services would no longer be necessary.”

Gardner was lucky... he had a lot of others saying the same thing. If it was just one or two 'whistleblowers', the story would never have seen the light of day... they would have had a 'fatal accident'.

[Drango]

Gardner's story is one that bears telling.

~sigh. Chicago Sun Times tells it after the election.

"Gardner's story is one that bears telling."

But not until AFTER the election, right MSM?

Seems like the generosity of FReepers could be tapped for this poor guy.....

[MEG33]

God bless the truth tellers..May he get a better job soon.

This person should contact a good lawyer with a record of experience in this area -- possibly, he should start with the head of the Swift Boat vets group, who is himself a lawyer.

[anniegetyourgun]

A "could be worse" story.....

[Iris7]

People have a strange desire to believe that politics is not played for keeps. Gardner still could end up pushing up daisies unless he shuts up now.

Kerry never did anything I can find out about to make the 170 million dollars he claims for his net worth. His wives say he only got a few million from them. (Wonder what his real net worth is. Big bucks are real easy to hide in Bermuda, the Channel Islands, etc.} Think the folks who made that "investment" in Kerry are happy campers?

"If it was just one or two 'whistleblowers', the story would never have seen the light of day... they would have had a 'fatal accident'."

Agree with you on that one.
Nevertheless, Freepers must find a way to help this guy.
Brae American heroes like him should not be allowed to go destitute for helping to save the country for the horrors and the abomination of a possible Hanoi John Kerry regime. Is there something that is being done in that direction right now so we can contribute?

[Cicero]

This seems to be the company that fired him:

I told him Kerry was a coward. He would patrol the middle of the river. The canals were dangerous. He wouldn't go there unless he had another boat pushing him."

I can see "coward", "opportunist", and "fraud" written all over his long, dull, and pretentious face! He is a cold, soulless human being.

[jcon40]

Generosity ? Agreed !

Anyone know where or how to send him a few bucks to tide him over ?

[kcvl]

Open Secrets shows John Pietrzak, president of Millennium Information Services, gave $500 to Carol Moseley-Braun in 1997, with earlier amounts to Tom Harkin and Dan Rostenkowski. No money to Republicans.

[Ros42]

I'm definitely up for a fund raiser for this brave hero!!

[Sal]

Yep, 250 highly decorated vets all getting capped would have gotten around the MSM info black-out, even if they were carefully "accidented". Also, it would have been much harder to smear them if they were murder victims.

Since Kerry is making gurgling sounds about running again, I suspect that the rest of the SBVTs would immediately reactivate if a suspicious accident killed one of their own, especially one as prominent as Steve Gardner.

BTTT

[Arlis]

Ok, Freepers - it's time for all of us to pull together for this guy and help him. Someone's gotta be able to help him find a job, and maybe we should even work on getting up some $$$ for him.....anyone got some ideas?

[MizSterious]

Indredibly sad story.

[El Oviedo]

How about have Gardner tell his story through speaking engagements? or writing a book?

Somebody - somewhere - one should be able to help him.

[anniegetyourgun]

Before I proceed to get info on where we can send donations for this guy, I must ask if you are willing to utilize this forum in this way? If so, do you want us to do it on this thread - or provide a link to it with a new thread to raise funds for this gentleman?

And, perhaps you already have the means and connections with Swiftees to obtain a safe address (not his home) to which donations for Mr. Gardner can be sent? I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

[jackbill]

If he was a direct employee of Millennium Information Services he would qualify for unemployment benefits while looking for other work.

Sounds like he might have been an independent contractor. And, if so, no unemployment benefits. The e-mail "firing" would be more understandable in that case - yet still slimy.

[McGavin999]

Someone out there needs to get this man a job. It's the very least he deserves. As to Millinium Information Services, may their business fall through the floor.
