….for donations to our foundation, so you can take my word for it when I say, we need it<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Theft of the 2016 race is under way \u2014\u2014\u00a0and the vote rustlers expect to grab Congress in 2014 as an appetizer. Plus, the billionaire boys club is sucking our financial blood as if the world economy is their vampire blood bank<\/p>\n

Donate at least $80 right now, and I’ll send you, as thanks, the\u00a0Vultures Combo<\/a>:\u00a0our new film on DVD, Vultures and Vote Rustlers<\/em> AND a hardbound copy of Vultures Picnic, and I’ll sign both. <\/strong>Check out the trailer<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 <\/strong>And it’s tax-deductible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Major national and international media outlets are waiting for our story on the Kochs and the XL Pipeline \u2014\u2014\u00a0because NO ONE but the Palast Investigations team has the ability to go undercover, get into the locked files or dig out the inside witnesses.<\/p>\n

But, we need to buy the tickets to Florida and Argentina (yep, that’s in the story). And we must feed the crew at least once a week. \u00a0We need six more folks to donate $1,000 to become a producer<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>of the <\/span>broadcast edition of Vultures and Vote Rustlers<\/em> so we can put this killer set of BBC reports on the US boob tube. (You get screen credit \u2014\u2014\u00a0and copies to spread the word.) A $500 donation earns you a co-producer<\/a><\/strong> credit.<\/p>\n

Our reports have hit the covers of The Nation<\/em> and Rolling Stone<\/em>, page one of The Guardian<\/em> and the top of the BBC<\/em> nightly news. And we donate every report free of charge to Democracy Now!\u00a0\u2014\u2014\u00a0and free or cheap to the samizdat web sites that get you the news the lame-stream media won’t touch.<\/p>\n

The basic investigation, the initial spade-work, that is the hallmark of our expert detective operation, is funded solely by our not-for-profit foundation.<\/p>\n

Already have all our stuff? Then make a tax-deductible no-gift donation<\/strong><\/a><\/em>, and get our thanks \u2014\u2014\u00a0and, in a special offer limited to Palast Fund donors, you go straight to Heaven upon your demise<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Our next project will include production of the take-no-prisoners broadcast of\u00a0Billionaires and Ballot Bandits – The Movie<\/a>, <\/em>based on my bestselling book. Check out the trailer<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014\u2014\u00a0and become an angel.<\/p>\n

And a happy and healthy New Year to you and yours,
