URGENT: Help George Galloway beat Jason Kenney in Federal Court!


[If ever a person deserved help - and accolades - it's George Galloway!! Please help as much as you can.]

An Appeal from Canada from http://www.defendfreespeech.ca

URGENT appeal for funds

Help George Galloway beat Jason Kenney in Federal Court!

Dear friends:

The Defend Free Speech Campaign is pleased to announce that British MP George Galloway has recently won an important victory against Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Jason Kenney in the Federal Court of Canada. On October 31, 2009, the Court announced that it would hear a judicial review of Kenney's decision to ban Galloway from entering Canada. The Court is expected to issue a final decision in January 2010.

The significance of this development should not be underestimated: only about 10 to 15 per cent of all cases ever make it to the Court.
This also indicates that Galloway has a serious case against Kenney - one that we can win!

But we urgently need your help!

Between now and December 21 January 11,  we must raise a minimum of $20,000 CAD to cover basic legal expenses. Our dedicated legal team has been working pro-bono since the ban was announced, and will continue to do so, but they have had very little support for mounting court costs.

By contrast, Jason Kenney and the federal government have unlimited resources to undermine Galloway's case in the Court, and to attack our campaign in the media and the public. Indeed, this was their approach when the ban was first announced.

In order for the case to proceed, we're going to need your generous financial support, and we need it as soon as possible. At stake is
much more than Galloway's ability to enter and speak in Canada; at stake is the freedom of Canadians to criticize and oppose their
government without fear of censorship or retribution.
