It looks like someone is working on fund raising to help the movement like producing that kind of video for everyone to see. FYI below. An email I received today. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: paramendra Date: Sat, 03 Dec 2005 11:38:08 -0800 Subject: Have You Contributed Your $100 Yet? Your Country Needs You Now Contribute: http://www.geocities.com/paramendra/nepal1000.html Money is needed urgently. This movement is really going to take off from December 10, big time. Nepal will be hitting the world headlines. This regime will fall before February. Money is needed. Why? (1) To video blog the movement to the max. To maintain exposure. To reduce chances of extreme forms of repression. To give the seven party leaders the option to communicate with the world community and the Nepali diaspora directly. To have the diaspora engage those leaders in question answer sessions. (2) To fund first aid for all who get hurt in clashes with the police. For medical expenses. (3) We have to raise the stakes for any potential military crackdown. We do that by keepig a ready fund such that should there be a military crackdown, we would be willing to hire lawyers who will do the basic work to take the king and the army top brass to the Hague. The threat has to be maintained so it does not have to be used. We need money to create the threat. (4) From December 10, the movement is to be continuous. That is a lot of logistics. And we need to help. If you were in Kathmandu, would you get out into the streets? If you would, well, you are not in Kathmandu, so do the next best thing: contribute and help raise money, pass the word. All your contacts are barely an email or a phone call away. Contribute: http://www.geocities.com/paramendra/nepal1000.html This regime has to fall by February. This regime showed us February 1. We should not return the favor. This regime should not see February 1. This appeal is urgent. Contribute: http://www.geocities.com/paramendra/nepal1000.html I believe this is a very democratic organizational structure I have proposed. (1) There is no barrier to entry for any Nepali or friend of Nepal. (2) The efficiency is enhanced because all the stuff can happen online. (3) A Donor can hope to become a Leader or a Senior Leader based on performance. It is a bottom up promotion process. (4) All book-keeping stays transparent. (5) All Donors can contribute to the discussions. All Senior Leaders make the final decisions, preferably based on consensus. (6) This is a way to put your money where your mouth is. The movement needs help. (7) The regime has to be brought down by February. You do that through the concept of a continuous movement. And you make it possible by providing logistical support to the max. (8) Donors have the option to stay anonymous, if they might so choose. So, what is holding you back? It is not possible anyone on this list who is in the US can not afford the $100. Donate and/or speak up.
