Re: Federal Appeal - Adams v. Teamsters, Rendell, Lynne Abraham, et al.
Thank you for your appeal on Free Republic! After checking the mailbox today (for the first time since you posted) we were astonished to find that more than half the money needed to continue the case had been raised! To date, we have received $1221.00.
It was certainly reassuring to discover that our friends have not forgotten us. The kind words and donations were (and are) deeply appreciated.
Equally as important, we know our opponents monitor Free Republic and are following developments closely. They have, once again, been put on notice that we are not alone in this struggle and that there are individuals across the country willing to fight governmental tyranny (which is all too often aimed at conservatives).
The Teamsters, Rendell, and Abraham, et al. have done everything in their power to destroy us. Their strategy, all along, has been to wear us down both mentally and financiallythereby making it impossible for us to achieve justice in this matter.
Government administrations should never be allowed to use their political supportersin this case Teamstersas a police force to in order to physically threaten, silence, and assault political opponents.
Mayors and District Attorneysin this case Rendell and Abrahammust never be permitted to use their power to prosecute citizens they know to be innocent in order to achieve political objectives.
Thanks to the support of Free Republic (and others), Ed Rendell and Lynne Abraham failed in their attempt to have an innocent victim convicted of a crime (they knew) he did not commit. Now they must answer, civilly, for their abuse of power.
Fortunately, in America, we still have a court system that permits us to pursue justice. With your continued help, we will have our day of reckoning.

Thanks to some very supportive FReepers, looks like Don and Teri have raised about half of what they need to cover the costs of their appeal (see original thread linked above).
I think we can help put them over the top fairly quickly.
Any small donation would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be sent to:

To: All
For anyone who wasn't at FR when this happened, you can rest assured this is a good cause. The teamster's thuggery against Don and Terri was a defining event in FR's history. It was an attempt to stifle our right to free speech through intimidation and outright physical assault. The attack against the Adams -- an attack that was caught on videotape -- was an attack against YOU.
This occurred near the beginning of the "FReep" movement. In fact, it WAS the beginning the the "FReep" movement. Conservatives were organizing and gathering steam to peacefully protest the Clinton's corruption. To see where that free speech movement led, just look at the "SoreLoserman" campaign and our public protests during Gore's attempt at election theft.
By sending a few dollars to this fund, you are sending a direct message to those who would restrict your free speech.

A damned shame America's still operating in this shabby sort of way, too.
Just one fly in their greasy ointment *strategy*, though.
We're still here, ornerier than ever, & haven't even begun to fight.
So we'll just see who tires, first.

The Democrats believe in CHOICE
Actually no. The Democrats believe in MANDATORY. In what was once a free country, Democrats mandate that everyone who works pays into Social Security. Democrats mandate that everyone who works pays into Medicare. Democrats mandate that employers must with-hold taxes from their employees payroll and send it to the government instead of paying it to his employees. Democrats mandate the minimum wage that employers can pay their employees despite the fact that many young kids that need a job are under-educated, under-motivated, and otherwise under-skilled. Government mandated that these unfortunate kids attend governmnet operated schools where substandard education is the rule. Were it not for the minimum wage, some employers would hire and provide some training and experience for these kids that otherwise will always remain under-achievers locked into a substandard life (many ending up criminals by default) mandated by Democrats. To say Democrats believe in CHOICE is not only wrong, I find it offensive.

To say Democrats believe in CHOICE is not only wrong, I find it offensive. Hey ! The Democrats call the execution of babies in the womb 'choice'. My tagline refers to that.
The second part of my tagline - if you read that - is a play on words AGAINST DEMOCRATS !!:
... I have chosen to vote STRAIGHT TICKET GOP for years !!
Let me elaborate. A Democrat WILL NOT EVER EVER EVER GET MY VOTE.
If that wasn't clear to you, then maybe it is NOW !


I THINK we are on the same team, right? I vote STRAIGHT TICKET GOP ! And I would encourage others to do the same.
There is ONLY ONE good Democrat: One that has been voted OUT OF POWER !!

You've got to wonder how many innocents get shafted cause they ain't got the funds to defend themselves.
That goes for all people, whether conservative or liberal when they go up against someone or something with deep pockets.
Shameful.
To: joesbucks
You've got to wonder how many innocents get shafted cause they ain't got the funds to defend themselves. That goes for all people, whether conservative or liberal when they go up against someone or something with deep pockets. And the something with the deepest pockets of all is the GOVERNMENT. Even worse, with the government, they are not even spending their own money. In the private sector, common sense will often prevail because even those with the deepest pockets are still spending their own money. With the government, this discipline is lost.
The best government is the least government. Vote for GWB and against Kerry.

Didn't mean to imply anything about you. I was trying to imply that Democrats don't allow choice when it comes to choosing whether you want to participate in government programs like SS or Medicare. Participation is mandatory. The word "mandatory" has little or no place in a free country. Freedom means choices. No choices; no freedom.
