Dear Friend, They wanted to kill my career. They wanted to stop you from ever seeing my work against them that exposes the truth. And they wanted to ensure I never sent the email you're reading now. My former employer and the organization I founded, Project Veritas, sued me to stop me from doing what I love and what you know I’m best at. They also tried to prevent me from contacting anyone who donated to Project Veritas. While I don't have access to that information, if you donated to the group I founded in the past, this email to you would have violated their demands. And if I lose . . . you would never hear from me again. More than ever, I need your help to keep fighting. If I lose this federal trial, the "James O'Keefe" you know will be a ghost of the past, and our common enemies will sigh with relief. We cannot allow that to happen. With my trial approaching, I have 10 depositions to pay for, each costing $9,200. I have to raise $92,000 by next week. Will you chip in and help? If you need to become more familiar with depositions, allow me to explain their value. Depositions will occur in person and in a conference room, not in a courtroom. They will be videotaped, and the people we'll be deposing—Project Veritas leadership who ousted me and sued me—will be under oath. Unlike questioning a witness in the courtroom, getting to the truth is much more direct when a person is deposed. Unless the question is irrelevant, harassing, or involves attorney-client privilege, the person being deposed must answer. It is an incredibly effective tool, but I’ll need your help to get them done. Will you help cover the costs of these ten depositions? My work is advancing at a breakneck pace. Since announcing my new documentary, which exposes the industry of illegal immigration, an abundance of whistleblowers have come forward. Every moment I'm focused on this takes away from my time working for you and the American people. So, I have to leave this court battle in the hands of a fierce legal team, which comes at a cost. Without that team representing me, we run the risk of my work being silenced forever. Help me move forward and win this battle that they started. Thanks again for all that you do.
