NEW YORK, NY Dreams, Hopes & Wishes

I'm the person that released the now famous Mitt Romney 47 percent video. I'm a regular guy who cares about social justice and the future of the United States. I shot the video and shared it because it was important for citizens to know the full truth about a man who had a chance of becoming president. If you appreciate what I did, please consider donating to help with my current and future legal expenses.

Any funds left over will be used to to help me go back to school.

It's always been my dream to attend law school. I'd like to be a socially responsible lawyer who can help the 47 percent navigate our legal system. Thank you for your donations!

1. I tipped the bar tender for his great service to our country!!

2. Me too

17. Thanks for Posting GoFundMe Info for Scott

The donations are coming in but rather slowly at this point in my opinion. I think the pace will pick up as more folks learn about the fund. So far he has 350 donations. I caught some additional interviews and he did a great job in all of them.

3. This great.. an upfront guy who wants to give back.

We are all in this together.. And, I hear he'll have a job with the United Steel Workers.

I'm wondering what legal expenses he would have?

5. He is getting threats

4. Hey, I hope he becomes a millionaire off of this...

He obviously did it for honorable reasons.

I think he is worth a donation. Seriously. He helped Obama win the election, by exposing Romney as the
elitist, narcissistic, liar that he is.

I will donate.

6. When this video came out I was as giddy and as excited as a kid

on Christmas morning. It was so thrilling to watch Mitty get punched in the gut

I will donate several times. I just adore this guy

[cilla4progress]

7. Done!

Inspired by this guy! History will deem him a hero!

8. If he's getting threats, he needs our support.

I think Ed said it best the "we have his back". He needs to know this. And Scott if you see this post, you did save this country from the abyss.

Like Luke Skywalker becoming a Jedi--Scott Prouty will become an attorney.

9. How do you know it's really him?

[amuse bouche]

10. It's him

He's actually had the site since Nov. There are links, his picture and twitter handles, etc

I've been following him for a few months when he was anonymous and that handle is still good. Just go to the site and check it all out

[amuse bouche]

15. I should add

I got his original twitter handle from Jimmy Carter's grandson the day after he told the story of finding the video and have been watching the whole thing unfold for months

So, I have no doubt it's him

22. FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THIS...

I just discovered my OFA donations - their site, I believe - was hacked.

I scheduled $15 /month donation. They just took the $15 SIX TIMES over the past 31 days - $90 / month instead of $15.

I had my bank cancel my debit card so I can start over.

Lucky they didn't take more than that...

11. just what this country needs

another lawyer

[dsc]

13. yeah imagine how much better this country would have been without

the likes of Thurgood Marshall, William Brennan, Abraham Lincoln, and other such swine.

[hfojvt]

14. that was then

this is now

"According to the American Bar Association, there were 1,128,729 resident and active attorneys in the United States in 2006 and 1,143,358 in 2007."

Do we really need that many? Does Newcastle really need another lump of coal for Christmas?

18. He will not being doing the media circus interview route where he could have made $$

for those interviews and I am sure the catering company that employed him will now lose business and would like to sue him for that loss plus he has people at his door harrassing him so he needs security
The rest will go to helping move on to another career
As many a whistle blower knows you often blow you chances of future eployment too in the industry
i know someone who blew on the paint industry -noone in that industry would hire him
He went back to school for social work at age 35

12. K&R

Hey, he seems like a sincere dude to me. I will check out the link and support him as much as I can (which won't be much, because I don't have much to spare.) Let's help him out.

[amuse bouche]

16. Every little bit helps

I've asked several celebs like Alec Baldwin and Mia Farrow to retweet the info.

It needs to be posted more places

[lunasun]

19. He is not going main stream media route so yes it does

[amuse bouche]

21. He's up to 400 donations

and it was just 82, 2 days ago. Progress, but still very slow

A homeless guy turned in a ring he found and had $175,000 donated in a few days.

23. Good for both of them ! Hope social media carries it forward for Prouty now.
