Dammit, I can’t donate – it says US citizens only. :/ Is there any way a concerned Australian can lay down $5 towards the cause?

However, we can quite legally donate to the Donation Drive for Marcy Wheeler’s Book on the CIA Leak Investigation (see thermometer on the right hand panel approx next to Comment 5). Poor old thing’s been a bit neglected what with all the yanks donating to candidates just now. Marcy’s trying to beat the Jan 17/07 date that Fitzgerald will start hearing testimony and can use the dough.</p> QuietStorm @ 111
