VelvetRevolution Launches 'Government Accountability Reward Fund'; $100,000 Reward for Information Leading to Arrest, Conviction of Corrupt Government Officials

http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=54282

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 29 /U.S. Newswire/ -- VelvetRevolution.us, a network of more than 120 progressive organizations seeking honest government, just launched the 'Government Accountability Reward Fund' to induce whistleblowers to come forward with information about criminal activity by high government officials. Specifically, VR has a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of officials involved in the following three incidents: 1) the illegal outing of CIA Agent Valerie Plame, 2) the illegal payment of bribes to Congressman Dennis Hastert, and 3) the rigging of the 2004 Presidential election in Ohio. In the event more than one person provides information or information about more than one incident, the money will be split between the persons.

The information provided must be new and not previously provided to the press or government entity or official. The information must be verifiable and be a major contributing factor in the arrest and conviction of the government official(s). In the case of the Valerie Plame, the evidence must implicate and convict a senior White House official or officials. In the case of Dennis Hastert, the evidence must implicate and convict him. In the case of Ohio, the evidence must implicate and convict persons who actually and knowingly rigged the 2004 Presidential election in such a way that it changed the true outcome.

1. What a great idea. This is a must read.

10. If your every day "Joe" never reads Velvet Rev.

Than how would the word get out to the brainless Repubs who may want to be whistle-blowers?

[DIKB]

20. Greed.

Looking out for their own interests is the primary motivating factor for most repukes. Appeal to their greed and they'll make their own justifications/do the work for themselves.

2. oooh, I LIKE it !!!

Greed harnessed to the public good...something the reThugs know nothing about.

[Angry Girl]

3. Terrific! Kick and Recommend!

4. To which...

...the RNC immediately issued a press release stating that they will pay 200,000 to any whistleblower who keeps their mouths shut... :)

7. I would be happy to contribute to up the ante.

Whatever it takes. This is a GREAT idea.

[klook]

12. Me too. $100,050

sounds a lot better than just $100,000, don't you think? :7

[CantGetFooledAgain]

13. I think that we could raise 250K or half a million

I'll bet that a lot of people would be more than happy to contribute.

[klook]

17. I agree.

I was just horsing around, but I do think a lot of people would be happy to up this ante. In fact, I'm going to contact VR and ask them how I can contribute. I hope many others will do the same.

9. Man, I wish I knew something. I'd blow the whistle!

Of course I'd blow the whistle on these pricks for $1. The remaining $99,999 would just be a bonus.

[PurgedVoter]

14. Heck I'd make something up for a $, but then I would be no different

from a freeper.

[CitrusLib]

15. Yeah you would. They make up shit for nothing.

[IndyOp]

19. The evidence must 'convict' -

Read the OP - VR has this covered in their reward offer - people can't just make s*** up - what they say has to lead to conviction.
