The Greg Palast investigative team has launched two major new investigations - on the 2004 vote and on the Iraq war.

To make this possible, we are asking you to donate $100 or more to fund this work. In return for this tax-deductible donation, we'll send you a 5-CD set of Al Franken, Amy Goodman, and Janeane Garofalo reading 'The Best Democracy Money Can Buy,' Palast's New York Times bestseller ... each personally autographed by the author.

Also joining Palast on this 5-CD audio version of the book are trouble-makers Jim Hightower, Ed Asner, Alec Baldwin, Alexandra Paul, Shiva Rose, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, and the man who made the Dead Kennedys come to life, Jello Biafra.

Make your donation right now at http://www.gregpalast.com/store.htm

Donate before December 1 to get your thank you gift during Hannukah; donate by December 9 to get your CD set before Christmas.

Palast is, "The most important investigative journalist of our time," says Tribune Magazine (UK), BUT THAT DON'T PAY THE BILLS. Real investigative reporting takes real cash; from phones to photocopies, the cost is breathtaking.

Here's what your donation will support. First, we'll dig into COLD, HARD EVIDENCE OF VOTE MANIPULATION in the 2004 race. Looks like Kerry got the most votes in Ohio and New Mexico. How come those ballots won't get counted? We are hunting where other investigators fear to tread.

Second, our investigative team has uncovered 323 pages of documentation from inside the Bush regime on the division of the OIL FIELDS OF IRAQ. What does it mean? Who's behind this secret plan? Where will it lead? To war in Iran? Please give us the tools to dig.

Support our new work now with a $100 tax-deductible donation to our foundation, The Palast Investigative Fund, and receive the signed 5 CD set of the The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.

Or, donate $50 and receive a signed copy of the book, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.

Or, donate $25 and get a great stocking stuffer: "Joker's Wild: Dubya's Trick Deck" cards -- the big flash-card sized four-color playing deck, an illustrated, satirical version of the book "Best Democracy." Each deck signed by the author.

Really want to move our work forward? Donate at least $200 and receive the audio book (5 CDs), the book itself, the cards, PLUS "Bush Family Fortunes," the film on DVD, taken from Palast's investigative reports seen on BBC Television, all signed.

...(professional begging) is considered an honorable avocation.

Just spent $4,000 to remove a towel from my dog's belly. Merry Christmas!

I can afford to give right now. Has anybody seen "Bush Family Fortunes"?

Goats by day. Goats by night. I don't know. I'm half awake.

It won't bring intelligence to the masses of American slugs. But it's about all I can do.

Hey! First post. Good to have you here.


Edit- After hearing this interview, I can say without a doubt that Kerry will never get my vote again. It's sad.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

use the "premiums" for holiday gifts. This is a great idea... I know it seems everyone has their hand out and I got angry with Skinner for requesting donations so close to the "Selection" when we were all tapped out..but at this point all we have left is to keep supporting those who can help us...and since there's no media to report, we have to be the media. Things are so bad now with Bush and the Repugs working as fast as they can to get their stockings filled and some of our Dems are complicit that we have to throw our last pennies at those who support us and hope and pray that the resistence will take hold.

Thanks for the post.

and boy does this country need deep investigating.
Everybody, do at least the 25 if u can. I know it's xmas and some of us are gonna have a hard enough time making it through that, but those of us that can swing, do it! Those of us that can't-do it after christmas. He's going to be needing money for a long time for these kinds of investigations. I gave now and I'm bookmarking it to come back and do more after christmas. It's not just about the vote, this dictatorship has got to be brought down.
