My bail is $3,000.00, so donations of $50.00-100.00 would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'd really appreciate if you could forward this e-mail and/or ask friends and family members to donate as well. If anyone has any questions about the authenticity of this e-mail, just call me at (4100 727-8710 or (443) 570-2926.

Customer Reviews
Nice
Funny, smart, insightful, and a point of view that many in our society should at least consider.
Thank You, Thank You
It's always refreshing to listen to someone who can pull off beautifully an effort like this. The show is eminently listenable and you're left wanting more.
A worthy perspective.
We would all like to think of ourselves and those around us as rational human being who make our own decisions. Since that isn't always the case, we can, if nothing else, find common ground and affirmation for our non-conformist views. Alternatively, perhaps we will discover at least the best argument against those dogmatic views we hold dear. I'll look forward to more from Dogma Free America.
