I didn't see a diary on this in the past fifty or so (stretching back to last night) and just got the mail this morning, so I figured I'd spread the word for a worthy cause and a worthy guy.
Greg Palast needs your help. Who is Greg Palast?
Perhaps you recall hearing about a book called 'The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.' Or maybe the movie 'Bush Family Fortunes.' Perhaps you've read a bit at the BBC or Guardian about suspicions surrounding the legitimacy of the elections. Or maybe you've heard something about Bush Sr.'s gold mine on Democracy Now!. If any of these ring a bell, you already know Greg Palast's work.
More after the break.
Greg Palast is the answer the question 'what happened to investigative reporting in this country?' Its moved to Britian and is currently being threatened with lawsuits by the oil companies for its coverage of the backroom deals on Iraq on the BBC and in Harper's Magazine. And they need cash.
Greg Palast doesn't take a salary for this work from his foundation, and any donation is tax deductible (save your receipts!) And you even get free gifts like signed copies of his books!

Please, please go and donate if you can. Or else the next time I hear someone complain about the lack of 'real' journalism anymore, or why such-and-such isn't being covered, I'm gonna toss a signed copy of his spoken-word CD at you.
