By James O'Keefe, Founder
and President of Project Veritas.
My initial shock turned
to anger when I was notified by Time Magazine that they heard
reports that I'm being sued for $1,000,000. (even though
we still haven't been served!).
Why? Because a group called Democracy Partners and
Obama crony Bob Creamer want to silence me and my team after we exposed them talking
about inciting violence at Trump rallies!
My name is James
O'Keefe, and I'm the Founder and President of Project Veritas. My staff and I
fight daily to expose corruption, waste, fraud and abuse in politics,
government and the mainstream media.
We've exposed examples
from across the country of voter fraud, uncovered and stopped terrorist-type
plots at Donald Trump's inauguration, exposed Al Sharpton's self-dealings, and
so much more.
But as a non-profit
organization, our investigative journalist work relies solely on
the generosity of Americans like you from across the country. So I'd be truly
grateful if you can make a generous gift of any amount to support our work now
as we face this alleged and possibly crippling $1,000,000 lawsuit.
As I said Democracy
Partners and Bob Creamer want to silence me and my team because one of our
Veritas videos last summer caught Creamer bragging about inciting violence at
Donald Trump campaign rallies.
These videos gained more
than 14,000,000 views on YouTube alone and had a major impact on the election. In fact, Trump
referenced them in the third Presidential debate!
Now Creamer is reportedly suing me, Project
Veritas, and two of our brave, young journalists. The threatened lawsuit is obviously
baseless, as our activities were covered by the First Amendment.
They make all kinds of
allegations, including faking social security numbers, and
breach of fiduciary duty. These claims alone are so outrageous
that they would call an actual lawsuit into question.
However, they know that
legal proceedings cost us time, money, and press coverage - scarce resources we
need to investigate the dishonesty and self-dealings of other corrupt
organizations, institutions and people. Our small organization has no large
cash reserves. I promptly use the funds received to achieve as much impact as possible.
As a result, the immediate cost of these legal bills would cripple our
operations.
Will you please stand
with us now by making a generous, tax-deductible gift to
defend ourselves from this legal attack?
There is a long
tradition of using undercover investigations to unearth wrongdoing. And
it now appears that members of the Hillary Clinton machine are attacking anyone
who successfully shined a light on their improprieties.
But here's the
truth: the establishment is doing this
because they're scared of us! In the Time article I learned that the
attorney for Democracy Partners compared our investigators to the Watergate
burglars. In fact, our brave, undercover investigators should be compared to
the Pulitzer Prize-winning Watergate reporters. They are relentlessly focused
on uncovering the truth, regardless of the cost. As you can imagine, my life would be much
easier if I took a less-effective approach towards advancing our beliefs.
If my staff and I sat
back in our office and wrote long-winded "policy
papers" about corruption, I doubt Project Veritas would ever see any legal
threats. But I will not allow that to
happen. And I will not be silenced!
Project Veritas is a
special organization because we don't back down. Ours is not a publically
traded company, and I do not have advertisers. Instead Project Veritas is a
non-profit organization supported by the American people. And if you stand with me now, I will continue
to fight for the truth. Our team will
continue to make a major political and
cultural impact on our
nation. But in order to continue exposing waste, fraud, abuse, and public
corruption, I must ask you to make a tax-deductible contribution to support our
work.
I apologize for the
urgent nature of this email, but without your support our team
could be sidelined or greatly diminished by these legal bills. You and I must stand up to Bob Creamer and their
radical machine and show them that you and I will not back down. Thank you in
advance for your support.
In truth, James O'Keefe,
President Project Veritas, 1807 S. Church St. Ste 108, Smithfield, VA 23430
