Oct 2013

but there are several organizations that will fund large suits for, of course, a large percentage of any award. There was an article in the New York Times about them and some of them are quite shady. I did look up one in SF Bay Area that at least had a fairly decent website. http://www.lawfinance.com/funding.html.

I am very surprised by the response you got from CREW. I have occasionally donated to them as they do some very important work in keeping our government honest. However, I did see your case is now being discussed on The Daily Kos. I think if it makes the rounds of all the prominent liberal blogs, TPM and Think Progress come to mind, you will get some organization willing to help you.

One last suggestion, and not a very good one but here goes: Use organizations like Move On and Change.Org to start a petition to the justice department to at least discuss the case with you and in a perfect world, help you in court. You will get a lot of signatures from this site.
