Please help me on this fundraiser

I have been accused of something that I didn't do
And I am being sued for it!

On December 2, 2000, I held a rally in New Haven in front of then Vice Presidential candidate Joe Lieberman's house, doing what little I could to show support for the newly elected President Bush, and to show my frustration at the Democrats in their attempts to overturn the genuinely won election by George W. Bush.

At the end of the rally, Former Ct State Senator Tom Scott was speaking on the back of my truck, when all of a sudden the lead Democrat supporter of the counter rally held at the same location, started to approach my truck, then turned and took 3 or 4 running steps and jumped on the bed of my truck in a manner that I thought he was going to attack someone on the truck: either me or Tom.

I stepped to his side and held out my arm to stop him as he ran into my arm and immediately stopped his forward motion.

I kept my hand held out in front of him to prevent him from going forward on the truck bed and get closer to Tom who was speaking at the time.

After 3 seconds or so, the man who jumped on my truck immediately turned and jumped down off the truck into the arms of the Police who quickly escorted him away from my truck.

The whole incident lasted no more than 5 seconds it seems.

Tom and I decided to not press charges for assault or trespass on my truck, and let him go.

9 months later, the man filed suit against me for assault.

I am not joking.

9 months later.

He claims I grabbed his throat.

Look at the picture. This picture was taken December 2, 2000.

That is the man who claims I was grabbing his throat. My hand is on his chest, not his throat. My hand was NEVER on his throat, nor was it ever near his throat!


Why I made this website
Because of the lawsuit, I am forced to endure thousands of dollars of debt that I cannot afford. I have been employed only in temporary positions since 2001 when telecom collapsed, and am deep in debt.

This man is trying to use the legal system to get tens of thousands of dollars from me that does not belong to him, and he is doing it by claiming I assaulted him, which I did not do at all.


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:

Hey RaceBannon...wow such a mess --
Will send something from our low-budget freelance NYC musician budget - (don't want a handout from the government!)
We need to stick together in life!
By the way - you sing fantastically - as I am a witness during our Sept. 11th March Against Terror.....
(I have video that I still need to get to you and then we can put it on FreeRepublic!!!)
Anyway - will keep you posted on that subject.
Wishing you the best and before you know it this awful nightmare will be over.
You will learn how strong you really are going through this with faith and dignity.
Yours in Light - GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble! 20But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God. 24You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

25Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Matthew 25

"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34Then the King will say to those on His right hand, "Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'

37"Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, "Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' 40And the King will answer and say to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'

I don't have much but I will try to send you $20.00. I will suggest for you to also pray that God will take care of your financial problems. If you truly believe you will see that you will get the money you need. I don't mean to preach, just sharing something that helped me in my times of trouble. God is faithful.

Happy to help a fellow freeper. That guy who's suing you looks to be a real race baiter who makes a living out of gaming the system. He's almost like a cartoon - stealing some old lady's funeral money, for crying out loud!

Check's in the mail tomorrow, and by the way - thank you for your service to your country.

Please consider helping out our Connecticut FRiend (and former US Marine) RaceBannon!

My husband "zelig" and I were with RaceBannon in front of Joe Lieberman's house in New Haven, CT on December 2, 2000 for this rally, and we witnessed Boise Kimber LEAP up on Race's truck -- taking Race, Tom Scott and everyone facing the truck listening to Tom Scott speak -- by complete surprise. It definitely appeared to my husband and me that Kimber was going to attack Race and/or Tom. Race held out his arm to stop him, as it appears in the photo in post #1, but Race did NOT "grab" him in any way. Kimber stood there with a big smile on his face with Race and Tom for just a few seconds - maybe a minute - then suddenly jumped off the truck bed. It was really odd...

Race has been a tireless FReeper who has been in the trenches for us as long as we've known him (November 2000), and well before that, I'm sure. Over the years, Race has traveled to countless rallies all over the northeast and Washington DC, standing in the cold and heat (mostly COLD though!), and his booming voice has been a huge asset to Our Cause.

Just this past Saturday, he traveled to Kingston, NY and participated in yet another rally, FReeping anti-war protestors: After Action Report "Not Another Vietnam" Kingston, NY Nov 13

"Tom and I decided to not press charges for assault or trespass on my truck, and let him go."

>?<

In hindsight that wasn't real smart, Race.
Sure hope you have the name of the cops who were at that event as witnesses.

I'll send ya a few bucks; but, I sure hope you've filed a lawsuite for assualt against the SOB yourself, now.

...or should that be finally.

I haven't read all the replies to this thread, so someone may have already made this suggestion: Do a Google search for conservative legal foundations and see if you can find a conservative organization that will give you some legal support with this case. This looks like a case of political harassment through the courts, so you may be able to find an organization that will help you with your legal costs and possibly provide legal assistance. There are a lot of foundations out there and if you contact enough of them you should be able to get some help.

Will send money.

RaceBannon is a big former Marine, but I'm sure that he is telling the truth about his actions.

In Oct 2002, RaceBannon did everything possible to avoid conflict when he and I were guarding FReeper-rented portable toilets for a DC Chapter Support the Troops Rally opposite a nearby Hate-America Rally of ANSWER anti-war scum. The leftists kept coming to use our toilets because their organizers never rent enough. We had to turn them away, lest they trash the toilets (as the leftists had done at an earlier event) or overload the use capacity of the units.
