Fall Fundraiser--Day Six

Another $195 came in since Friday and that brings the total for this fall's fundraiser to $766.26. The total goal for the fundraiser is $3,000, so there's another $2,233.74 to go by the end of Sept. 17 when I hope to wrap up the fundraiser.

I appreciate the contributions that have come in to date from 20 kind contributors.

If any of you have questions about the validity of this site or the judgment of its author, you need look no further than Friday's court order that the Zyprexa documents--which I posted on this site in Feb. 2007--be unsealed because Eli Lilly's rights to confidentiality are, in the judge's opinion, outweighed by the public's right to know about the drug and how the company handled it.

Since I made those documents publicly-availble, thousands of people have downloaded them and so have many law firms, state attorneys general offices, insurance companies, pension funds, newspapers, TV networks and so on. To date, not one single entity that made use of my free public service has made a contribution to this site. You'd think some of those AG's offices and such would be willing to at least toss a contribution my way...perhaps the equivalent of what they bill for an hour's worth of a legal researcher's work. Just an idea.

Anyway, as usual, the PayPal button is on the right. Or if you prefer snail mail, send me an email and I'll shoot you my mailing address.

I want to remind people who comes here to research that it's a blog.
Yes. A blog. But it's not another blog on the WWW kingdom.
It's a journalistic blog.
You have to pay for some articles from the mainstream media. Perhaps you've already payed for some that you've read it once and don't even remember.
Knowing that "many law firms, state attorneys general offices, insurance companies, pension funds, newspapers, TV networks and so on..." have downloaded Zyprexa's documents without giving the credit to who made it available makes me sick.
Have you at least have put a link on your work?

"Information wants to be FREE!!!"
Yes rjh, it does. Unfortunately, Philip's light bill doesn't agree, hence the fund drive.

Great thermometer.
