Dear Patriot,
Rarely will you ever hear from anyone working for O'Keefe Media Group other than James O'Keefe, but, given the circumstances, it's necessary for me to introduce myself as I have an obligation to ensure the safety of James and our team.
My name is Steven Saldana, the Chief Operating Officer for OMG.
We're all aware of Charlie Kirk's tragic death. It shook all of us.
As a man who works in the trenches of business operations, not the cloak-and-dagger world of Undercover Operations that gives life to OMG's work, Charlie's murder opened my eyes to what James has repeated publicly and privately for years . . . his price is his life.
Even the forboding name of James' podcast is just that: My Price is My Life.
James has come to terms with his fate, not out of arrogance or theatrics. He made this personal choice years ago, after never-ending threats of violence, for a simple reason: James O'Keefe chooses not to live in fear.
Fear is a thief. It steals our passion, our love, and drives many men into hiding. Charlie Kirk did not live in fear. He lived out loud. James does as well, relentlessly working without fear or favor to expose the corrupt.
James' fate is not determined by any means. That's in God's hands, and we can work together to do His will by allowing a good man to continue his work, safely and without fear of a deranged individual brutally taking his life.
I'm writing to ask you to join me in backing
our security needs for James and our team at OMG.
Call it fate, or God's hand. Still, this morning, I received a message from a man who served with the group of veterans that kept Border Czar Tom Homan safe through Inauguration Day.
At the time, Mr. Homan faced confirmed, well-funded, and terrifying threats from the Cartels. The Biden Administration refused to provide Mr. Homan with security, and a group of special men volunteered their time and chose to place their own lives at risk to protect Tom Homan.
Those men proved their professionalism on top of their patriotism.
I was placed in contact with the man who led that team of veterans, Cameron Hamilton. Cam has offered to create a security plan and procedures for a long-term security solution for James and OMG that monitors and adjusts to threats.
At this moment, I have no idea what that budget looks like. Still, I plan on flying Cam out as soon as possible, and in the meantime, I’ve installed temporary security solutions. We need to raise an initial $24,000.
Please donate to fill that gap.
I want to take a moment to tell you about Cam's credentials. He served our nation for a decade, earning his place as a Navy SEAL. He continued to serve our country in emergency management and preparedness roles for the Department of State and DHS. He recently served as the Acting Director of FEMA under President Trump.
Cam’s working relationship with state and local law enforcement agencies is unsurpassed and something we will need to ensure security while controlling costs. He's an expert at small and large operations. He is a professional who calculates every possible move on the chessboard and prepares for the outcome.
To prepare for all outcomes, I'll need your support to cover the costs that go beyond armed security.
In speaking with the veteran who served on Homan's detail, we'll need to invest in physical security measures, operational security, as well as emergency trauma supplies that are suitable for a combat zone. I was told that under Cam's lead, the back of the SUV used to transport Mr. Homan was filled with the supplies needed for a mobile trauma room.
As much as I hate recalling the videos America collectively watched of Charlie Kirk, his fate is the outcome we have to be prepared to prevent.
It's an obligation that our already thin budget for investigations and staff cannot afford.
It's a sacrifice I'm asking you to make, taking into account that James has already accepted what he's willing to sacrifice to continue working for you: Nothing short of his own life.
Please help me ensure that he never has to make that sacrifice by donating today.
We already lost an amazing man; we can't risk another.
I appreciate anything at all that you can do, as well as your time and consideration.
With Respect,
Chief Operations Officer
O'Keefe Media Group
P.S. If you're able to donate, I'll add you to a special team of supporters and follow up with a security budget that follows Cam's recommendations, if you don't hear from him directly. Thank you again, and please donate any amount today to help build a security plan for James and OMG.
