August 8, 2008 — this is the date for our Strangebedfellows MONEYBOMB on behalf 
of constitutional rights and civil liberties in America. Let's remove from power 
the key enablers of the tyrannical and lawless FISA 'compromise;' we can end the 
Patriot Act — and so much more. Join with us by pledging now — right here at 
AccountabilityNowPAC.com. Become a part of our transpartisan alliance of freedom 
lovers! Be a Strangebedfellow!

Who Are The Strangebedfellows?

Strangebedfellows is a unique and diverse left-right coalition which has come 
together to put a stop to the eradication of civil liberties in America. Modeled 
on a similar group in Britain, the initial Strangebedfellows group encompasses 
Ron Paul supporters (BreakTheMatrix.com, Rick Williams and Trevor Lyman), 
leading bloggers from the left (Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com, Jane Hamsher of 
firedoglake.com) and many more who share the view that warrantless surveillance, 
telecom immunity and other such outrages of the lawless surveillance state MUST 
END -- AND END NOW. Our group of Strangebedfellows is organizing a moneybomb on 
behalf of AccountabilityNowPAC, and we’re reaching out to friends and colleagues 
from across the political spectrum who believe in the Bill of Rights and freedom 
in America. So join us -- become a Strangebedfellow! Add your name and group to 
our list of backers, and enter your pledge today to donate to 
AccountabilityNowPAC. Let’s reverse these police state sellouts by our political 
leaders -- FOREVER.

Here’s What We’re Asking You To Do

Strangebedfellows has retained BreakTheMatrix to serve as our moneybomb 
organizer and service provider for a massive donations collection effort on 
behalf of AccountabilityNowPAC. Remember the giant moneybombs from the Ron Paul 
presidential campaign? Well, Trevor Lyman was the man behind those efforts, and 
he and his BreakTheMatrix colleagues are the leading experts in the world in 
online moneybomb fundraising. Here’s how it works:

You enter your pledge today -- RIGHT NOW -- by clicking the “Pledge” button on 
the side of this website screen. This pledge becomes your commitment to 
contribute (maximum donation $5000) to AccountabilityNowPAC on August 8, 2008 -- 
the moneybomb collection day. Visit our website often over the next month to 
watch the pledges mount and to learn about the growing array of supporters and 
groups who are choosing to become Strangebedfellows with us. Then the key event 
-- you COME BACK on August 8, 2008, and make your actual money contribution 
through our online collection service right here at 
www.AccountabilityNowPAC.com. The force and power of a moneybomb is simple and 
straightforward. We all donate on the SAME DAY, and working together we send our 
political leaders (Democrat and Republican) a freedom message they will never 
forget. So help us make it work. Pledge today; then come back and donate on the 
8th. Let’s show our leaders once and for all that there is a POWERFUL movement 
here that will settle for nothing less than constitutional governance in America.

Why August 8th?

That is the day in 1974 when Richard Nixon was forced to resign from office for 
his lawbreaking and surveillance abuses. That day illustrates how far we have 
fallen in this country in less than 35 years, as we now not only permit rampant 
presidential lawbreaking and a limitless surveillance state, but have a 
bipartisan political class that endorses it and even retroactively protects the 
lawbreakers.

Become a Strangebedfellow; and we thank you for pledging...
