Libertas has been very cagey about its membership and funding - whilst berating the EU for a lack of transparency.  It's position is that it is in compliance with disclosure information - which I suspect is pretty minimalist.  If you can round up enough friends, supporters, cronies and acolytes to nominally put up €4,999 Euros in each of their names, pretty soon you are talking real money...

Your representatives may not listen to you. But they do read your e-mail.

I'd like to be careful here, since Irish libel law is sort of fun, but the Sunday Business Post said  that:
Much of the Libertas expenditure is expected to be met, either by direct provision or by way of loans, from Ganley's own resources.

Papers won't publish LTE's if they think they might be libelous.  This isn't about Declan Ganly personally, its about Libertas and its sources of funding and close connections to US military/industrial complex - and Jane's Intelligence assessment that the Bush regime would prefer bilateral agreements with individual states rather than a stronger EU entity.  If I get time tonight I might draft an LTE.  Happy to do on individual basis if you prefer.

No, jointly is fine. So long as it doesn't suggest that there's anything illegal going on!
