I sent this to my yahoo group today. It explains who Andy is (briefly) and what the money is for.

-----------------

Hi all,

I would not normally post a message such as this, but it is literally
a matter of life and death.

I am an active member of a political forum on the web. One of its
members, Andy Stephenson, has been a tireless activist on election
fraud and electronic voting reform. Like many activists, Andy does not
have health insurance.

A couple of months ago, Andy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The
only way for him to survive is to have Whipple surgery performed.
Miraculously, he has been accepted at John Hopkins for this surgery.
However, since he has no insurance, the hospital wants the entire fee
UP FRONT. This is $50,000, and it MUST be paid by TOMORROW, Monday,
May 9th. So far, we have raised $40,000 in about a week, with the
first $25,000 raised for the required downpayment in 48 hours. It was
an amazing outpouring of caring.

Andy will die without this surgery. That's a known fact. I am begging,
PLEADING, with you all to send just $10. Luna and I have given you
guys pleasure by sharing our photos with you. This is what I am asking
in return. Please donate to Andy's medical fund.

The donation information is listed below.
