I just received a thank-you email from Rudolf Elmer, the Swiss whistleblower.
Thank you Mrs (pacalo) for taking action we are on our way .... Take care, Best Rudolf Elmer


My e-mail to him:


I sent the following message to ursula.frauenfelder@ji.zh.ch in support if Mr. Rudolf Elmer.  I hope I sent it to the correct person & that it helps him; I support him 100%.  The message:

As an American, I view Mr. Elmer's information about prominent Americans' hidden Swiss bank accounts as serving the public good.  

We Americans have the right to know if our prominent congresspeople & the American corporations they protect are involved in tax evasion, which is a serious federal offense.  I would like to know if any American public servant is not paying their fair share of taxes at a time when Congress is threatening to cut social programs for the less fortunate in order to balance the national budget.  While the struggles of the middle class & poor are ignored, keep in mind that the majority of our budget goes to the funding of military operations that are against the wishes of most Americans.

Please consider that Mr. Elmer's act of whistleblowing is in the interest of the public good.

In the spirit of justice,

Mrs. pacalo

4. Mr. Elmer is going on trial in Switzerland.
However, all the data he gave to Julian Assange at the press conference is about bank accounts in the Cayman Islands.

5. Yes! I thought the same thing, then I realized that the bank in the Caymons is owned by
a Swiss bank.
