The little money that Atlas generates (I have no large donors) is about to be cut off. Apparently the jihad is hard at work trying to kill free speech (and the bus ads and the 9111 no mosque movement) from making its way to those in pursuit of truth. Paypal contributions helps pays for bus ads, rallies, live coverage (everything) and I so much as said so when asked repeatedly by the press who paid for the bus ads. Readers do and did. Paypal is calling Atlas a "hate" site and will close my account if I do not remove the paypal option from my website. Accurate reporting and news is hate. Truth is the new hate speech: Please email or call paypal and let them know Atlas Shrugs is a news site and political blog. I am not responsible for the bad news in the world. I just report. Great, another lawsuit. Want to make a contribution to my fight? Mail a check to Pamela Geller, PO Box 121, 1040 1st Avenue, NY NY 10022. Until I beat those pathetic Paypal pussies. Unbelievable. If you want to send an email directly to the Acceptable Use Policy Department, here is the email address: aupviolations@paypal.com. ((hat tip Daryl) Dear Pamela Geller, UPDATE: SIOA and FDI just got notified as well. There are no accidents. I said repeatedly in news stories that the money for the bus ads came from my websites - that there were no large donors. So the global jihad, choking on petrol dollars, is trying to shut down my little spigot.Email Paypal
