Fwd: I've received death threats….

Dear Ally of The Project Veritas, The support we've received from Americans, like you, since we released our undercover NPR video has been overwhelming --more than we could have ever imagined. For that, I sincerely thank you on behalf of everyone at The Project Veritas. As you're aware, many in the media -- from the expected to the unexpected -- are attacking me personally and my investigative methods in an effort to discredit our work... ...I have no doubt legal action will be taken against us. It's a modern day David vs. Goliath. I can understand why some would be upset -- or jealous -- that we're leading a resurgence of reporting that gets results for the taxpayer and strikes fear into the hearts of those who seek to take advantage of you. But, I never expected to receive death threats. Let me be clear, I'm not blaming this on the media. I guess I just didn't realize our reporting would anger some to the point of wanting to kill. This is beyond the pale. That's why I'm asking for your help again today. I hope that you'll do the following -- right now -- to help us lead this resurgence and fight back against attacks... 1) Take our Survey on Media Responsibility and Ethics. Like I said, the mainstream media is attacking us. It seems they think we invented investigative journalism. But, mainstream media shows like 60 Minutes used to use our tactics all the time. All we're doing is reviving this effective brand of journalism -- and we're being attacked for it. Your survey results will be sent to every mainstream media outlet to let them know taxpayers expect them to investigate and expose corruption as well. 2) Make a generous investment. My organization, The Project Veritas, needs financial help to harness the excitement our videos have produced and use it to create an army of investigators to shine a light on corruption wherever it hides. We also need help to fight back against attacks -- legally and personally. I knew these videos would attract major attention because of my previous experiences exposing government corruption with the ACORN videos and others... ...But, I didn't know these videos would ignite a national debate that would cause everyone in the mainstream media to give an opinion about our methods. The most ridiculous criticism I've heard is that our videos "are edited." It's funny because almost every interview and news clip you see in the news is edited -- but, most news organizations don't release all of the raw footage so viewers can draw their own conlcusions, we did. However, this national debate creates the perfect opportunity to vastly expand our efforts. Up 'til now, my friends and I have financed all of our work on our own -- running up major credit card debt. We made a lot of sacrifices -- personally and financially -- because we fight for what we believe in. We didn't know that nearly ever network, cable show, website, blog, and newspaper would cover the NPR videos before we made them. We only knew that someone needed to investigate corruption in government. So, The Project Veritas took up the cause. But, now we've hit a wall. This has gotten a lot bigger than we ever imagined. The multi-billion dollar major media Goliath is embarrassed by their failure to make a meaningful impact like we have -- that's why they're attacking us. I hope I can count on you help me fight back against Goliath and continue our groundbreaking work by making a contribution today and taking the Survey on Media Responsibility and Ethics. You see, I took a leap of faith when I first started the NPR investigation. However, I didn't take this leap of faith alone. My two friends (the "Muslims) in the NPR video and many other committed people -- producers, lawyers, web developers -- all acted in good faith and took a financial risk to help expose NPR. But, we can't afford to go on like this. We are forced to make another decision today... Do we stop now and just let taxpayer abuse continue, or do we keep up and grow our efforts to expose government corruption? If you think we must keep going to shine a light on corruption, then I need more than your moral support, --I need your financial support. Your donation will help The Project Veritas fight back against attacks on our reputations and be prepared to defend ourselves in the legal battles that are certain to come. Additional donations will help us identify and teach our methods to thousands of young investigative journalists so corruption is exposed not just one sting at a time, but with multiple stings happening all the time all over the country. We'll also be able to buy many more cameras for The Project Veritas (we only have 5 now) and hire a staff to edit and produce the videos -- just one high quality camera can cost thousands of dollars. You can trust me that your donation will be used to expose corruption wherever it hides -- and publicize our findings. And your Survey on Media Responsibility and Ethics will let the mainstream media know taxpayers expect them to investigate and expose government corruption, as well. We know what we're doing. We've had amazing success where the "pros" in the mainstream media have failed for years. Again, we don't receive a salary for the work we do. But,we can't continue without financial help from people like you. Whether it's $25 or $1,000, your donation is needed. But, we also want to know how you feel about our methods... ...so, when you go to donate, please also take the Survey on Media Responsibility and Ethics. It cost us about $50,000 when all is said and done to produce the NPR video. If you help us raise over $50,000, it will go toward our next video -- after we pay off our credits cards, of course. If you help us pass $100,000 -- we can do two new videos... ...And if by some chance, we raise $1,000,000 -- we could expose 20 disturbing cases of government abuse and corruption. But, all I'm worried about is $50,000 right now. But, while $1,000,000 sounds nice, I must raise $50,000 quickly to keep moving forward. Give what you can and take the Survey on Media Responsibility and Ethics. America needs The Project Veritas to grow quickly. But, we can't continue, much less grow, unless we receive financial support soon. We're ready and waiting to expose more government corruption. But -- it all comes down to money. Please help us do these things today. We're counting on you. Thanks for any help you can give, James O'Keefe Founder, The Project Veritas P.S. I'm emailing you because I need your help. My friends and I took a leap of faith and racked up serious credit card debt to expose NPR. The response has been greater than we could have imagined. From attacks to praise, we're getting a lot of attention, which has created the perfect opportunity to grow an army of investigative journalists. If we had thousands of journalists doing what we've done, the dishonest in government would be forced to think twice before abusing your tax dollars. I need your help to grow this army and fight back against he personal and legal battles we're facing and will face. We figured it probably costs us about $50,000 to make the NPR video. We can't afford to do this for our next investigation, if there is one. Your donation, along with the help of other taxpaying Americans, will allow us to continue and expand. If you can give $25 or $50, -- that's wonderful. If you can give $100 or $500 or more -- great. But, our goal today is to raise $50,000 to pay off our debt and start on our next investigation. Please contribute now and take the Survey on Media Responsibility and Ethics. If we receive enough financial support, we're going to build army of investigative journalists to uncover government corruption wherever it can be found. And we're going to keep the videos coming. $50,000 can make one, $100,000 will pay for two -- and -- if by some miracle, we raise $1,000,000 we can expose 20 dishonest and corrupt government agencies. Sounds like an investment work making, right? If so, please give now. Thanks. Back to top^ "Of all the data that we put out on ACORN, you couldn't be convinced to shut off the funding until you saw the reality of the video.  Then we looked into Planned Parenthood, and of all the data that was brought out here to the floor of the house, still the American people didn't understand the real culture of Planned Parenthood until they saw the video.  Of all of the data we've seen we still had not absorbed the real culture of NPR until we saw the video of that dinner, those two hours that day." -Rep.
