Mark Steyn’s one-day-only fundraiser for me and other bloggers being sued

Richard Warman, member of Stormfront and the Canadian ‘Human Rights’ Commission’s all but sole plaintiff, recently embarked on legal action against The National Post and its columnist Jonathan Kay plus five bloggers: Ezra Levant, Kate McMillan, Kathy Shaidle and Mark and Connie at Free Dominion.

“All these folks have been important voices in exposing the rot at the CHRC and the improper and corrupt procedures that have developed since Warman began using the Commission as his personal inquisition. Those in favor of rolling back the ‘human rights’ commissions’ powers now include the Canadian Association of Journalists, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, PEN Canada, Liberal MP Keith Martin and every major newspaper from the conservatish National Post to the liberal Toronto Star.

“But these five bloggers were among the first to get the ball rolling and their energy has been critical to the campaign to restore free speech to Canada.

“So, in order to support the Freedom Five as they resist Mr Warman’s attempt to shut them down, we’re holding a special fundraiser until midnight Eastern Time tonight. For the whole of Warman Wednesday, 50 per cent of the purchase price of America Alone — that’s to say, our entire profit — will be donated to the legal defense fund for Ezra and co. That’s 50 per cent of the purchase price of America Alone not just in the new paperback edition, but also of the hardback, the CD, the audio cassette and the MP3 version.

“Better yet, we’ll also pass on to our Internet comrades 50 per cent of the purchase price of the America Alone Anniversary Special: you’ll get America Alone plus The Face Of The Tiger and the Viva Steyn! T-shirt at one low price, and Ezra, Kate, Kathy and Free Dominion will get half the proceeds.
