Support The Wilsons
Who would you rather help, the lying thieves running the government

Or the CIA agents who were brave enough to stand up to them?

Just think what a message it would send, if the Wilsons received an overflow of pennies, dimes, and dollars to help with their legal case. It is not just financial support, it is moral support.

The Cheney's of the world would like to keep people in fear. If the Wilsons can win this case, this will give a green light to other brave persons who want to actually protect this country, and not just have a job with the government.

This is a fake Libby defense fund site done by TakeBacktheMedia.com

Here is the real site.

These are the likes of the people who are getting behind the Scooter defense fund - I am sure many of them are also donating for their own sake, because of their own involvement.

1. You are aware that the Wilsons are very wealthy, aren't you?
Both of them are long-time members of the club.

8. right
which is why there are about 15 threads saying "do you support the Wilsons'? donate here"

isn't the subtext of that message, 'if you don't donate here, you don't support them?'

13. No
To send them money is one way to support them. If you don't send them money, that does not mean you don't support them.

Anyway, it is not like a giant organization, where you are not sure where your money is actually going. In this case, these are 2 specific people getting the money, against people - Cheney, et al, who everyone agrees are in the wrong.

3. I don't think you get extremely wealthy
from being CIA. Anyway sending a small donation helps with the overall high morale and momentum for their fight.

4. I don't know. I have my doubts about the Wilsons. Mr. Wilson in
particular. He wasn't very nice to Dennis all those growing-up years, and I think the kid just needed a firm hand and a warm heart. You can be too gruff with kids. The old lady was quite a bit kinder, but seemed somehow to play a lesser role in the neighborhood big picture. Would that she had asserted herself just a bit more, if for no other reason than the kid's sake.

And the liberal media is at it again, aren't they? Choosing dashing, beautiful models like this to play gruff old Mr. and Mrs. Wilson.

Well, I realize they've got to fill seats out in Hollywood. Another day another dollar. I get it. The business of America, etc.

5. Money always helps,
but i think it moral support that's the most important thing. Libby got allot of help from his well healed friends, i suggest we do as the poster suggested and send pennies and nickles, just what ever one can afford, just to let the media and this admin know we support the Wilson's.

12. I'm sure he does,
it's not about money, it's principal of the the thing! For me i like the idea of a citizen standing up to this admin, so (i'll) send the Wilson's a few bucks and wish them well.

Just like I tell people, my wife already had a name when I met her.
