Update: Please Help Out
Total Donations: $2,092
Total Legal Fees: $2,500
John left a comment at Old War Dogs, once again drawing attention to the case of (now former) Liberty and Justice co-blogger Isaac Schrodinger. Here it is:
“FOURTH DOWN, GOAL TO GO (The case of Isaac Schrödinger)
I have posted before about Isaac Schrödinger here. He is now within what ought to be easy striking distance of his goal of $2500CAD for legal expenses to support his plea for refugee status in Canada. If my math is correct, fifteen contributions of $27 Canadian would put him over the top, except pocket change. However, new donations appear to have slowed to a trickle. Just for curiousity, I anted up that amount today. At the current exchange rate, $27 Canadian comes to a bit under $25 US. That’s less than $400 total.
He is still in deep doo-doo. One has only to scan a sample of his constant barrage of scathing criticism of Islamic religion, law, and culture to understand that if Canada deported him to his native country, he would be in mortal danger. Part II and Part III of the long post referenced in the first link above make it abundantly clear that he has crossed a red line. Once he is in their hands, the Pakistani authorities would be merciless.
Your generosity is its own reward, Please do what you can, and accept my sincere thanks.”
Every person concerned about Isaac’s situation owes John a lot: he draw a lot of attention to Isaac’s case and continues to actively support Isaac.
Anyway, I would like to second John’s comment: please, if you can, consider donating some money to Isaac. He – still – needs your help.
Of course: you have my sincere thanks as well.
UPDATE
Isaac’s blog is here. At the top of the right side bar is a pay pal button. If one wants to donate, please click on that PayPal button.
Again, thanks very, very much.

Where/how do we send money?
Morgan: at Isaac’s blog. I will put a better link into it.
Linkness
I kept getting errors while going though paypal. I hope the transaction went through.
Ryan, Morgan and Interested thanks for trying to donate. Interested sent me an e-mail that PayPal gives an error:
“We are sorry, we are experiencing temporary difficulties. Please try again later. If this error occurred while making a payment, avoid duplicate payments by checking your Account Overview before resending a payment.
Message 3005″
Do you all have that problem as well? Dang it. Please keep trying / check tomorrow whether it got through or not.
If necessary I will ask JOe whether I can repost it tomorrow
I got a confirmation email, but I had to go through that message 3005 error several times. I think it did finally go through, but I’d give Paypal a talking to if I were you.
Yes I inform Isaac about it: people want to donate and freaking PayPal is making life difficult…
And -> again, thanks very much Ryan.
Ryan S: Yes, I did get the donation. Thank you.
The total now = $2,292.
I’ve sent Paypal that error message just in case and asked them when the matter will be resolved. Hopefully, it is/was only a minor server issue.
I talked to my lawyer last week. He said that the writings from my blog will be helpful. So, I should him my best stuff. (Category: My Writings.)
When he saw the amount that has been donated in less than two months, he said, “I should’ve charged you more!”
Thank you for this post, Michael.
Muwhahaha.
Americans once again show that they are very generous.
No thanks of course Isaac. You cannot afford to lose this case.
The total now = $2,330.
Good. Hopefully we’ll push you to the 2500.
From $2,092 to now $2,400 in just a few hours!
