Auction Now Closed9/15/2012 A big thanks to all the donors who participated in the Day-By-Day Auction! It was a resounding success, and we'll be posting results and informing the winners on Monday. A big thanks as well goes out to all of the people who autographed the pictures and of course, to Chris Muir, cartoonist! Monday Auction Update - 9/10/2012Because many people haven't heard of the Day-By-Day auction, and because of the great response we've received so far from those who have heard, we've decided to extend the auction end date to this Friday the 14th. (An email notification to this effect will be sent out as soon as it is technically possible). So let's keep the bidding going until Friday! Thanks to everyone for your support! 9/4/2012 Cartoonist Chris Muir of Day-By-Day has donated three prints of his cartoon "Last Supper (America) Red vs Blue" to the Blogger's Defense Team and Right Solutions for online auction from Tuesday, September 4th-Monday September 10th. How To BidBidding on the artwork is simple - donate to the Blogger's Defense Team using the Donate button to your right! One signed print will go to the highest single donor during the auction period. The other two signed prints will be awarded randomly to anyone who donates $25 or more during the auction period. During the auction, from time-to-time, we will tweet out results of highest bidders (follow our Twitter account here). We will only tweet out first names of those donating (if you'd rather be anonymous or otherwise identified, let us know in the Special Instructions box when donating). "Last Supper (America) Red vs Blue"
Each 11" x 19" print has been signed by the following giants of the Blogosphere: Michelle Malkin, Glenn and Helen Reynolds (Instapundit and Dr.Helen), Bill Whittle (Afterburner), Jeff Goldstein (Protein Wisdom), Ed Morrissey (Hot Air), Robert Stacy McCain (The Other McCain), and Mandy Nagy (Liberty Chick). The Blogger's Defense Team and Aaron Walker wishes to thank Muir and each of these bloggers for this donation. Funds raised by this auction go directly to the legal battle against the online, offline, and legal harassment of bloggers through intimidation, threats, lawfare, and SWATting. The current focus is on cases brought in Maryland Federal Court and Virginia State court on behalf of Aaron Walker against Brett Kimberlin, Neal Rauhauser, and Ron Brynaert. Right Solutions (the Institute for Individualism) is a nonprofit 501c3 organization that promotes free speech and robust political discourse. Right Solutions has launched the Bloggers Defense Team to defend and support the legal rights and freedoms of bloggers, particularly to the free and open exchange of ideas on the internet. DB Capitol Strategies PLLC works with Right Solutions to provide pro bono representation to these clients. Right Solutions covers the costs incurred by DB Capitol Strategies PLLC in providing pro bono legal representation to the Bloggers Defense Team, including court fees, expenses of litigation, contract attorney fees, and other administrative & compliance costs, but does not receive any compensation for its services to these clients. Victims are also calling upon members of Congress and the Department of Justice to form an FBI task force to coordinate law enforcement resources to investigate not only the SWATtings, but the Lawfare and continued and potentially illegal harassment activities aimed at silencing speech and political opinion. The internet should be the ultimate "marketplace of ideas" where all are free to share opinions without threat of legal harassment, cyber-bullying, or real world threats.
