I, Mike Gogulski, hereby pledge that if Julian Assange should call upon me in need of a place to stay, I will provide it to him with no questions asked, indefinitely, and with the highest degree of security and confidentiality I can provide. I’m easy to get a hold of.
Now it’s your turn. Simply replace my name with yours and publish. Link here if you wish, but publish.

I have thrown in my lot. If Bradly Manning can spend 7 months in jail, I can, at least, make a blog post. http://alliance.rationalreview.com/2010/12/the-julian-assange-welcome-pledge/

@James: What you said. I want to listen to thrashy industrial music now. Rawr.

Shhh…isn’t this like providing [whoever is watching and listening] with a list of friends’ houses to look for him at?

@Štefka: Once there are 10,000 people who’ve made the pledge, the waters will be sufficiently muddied to provide him greater freedom of movement, not to mention a supportive network.

Hell, yes! “I, Mike Gogulski, hereby pledge that if Julian Assange should call upon me in need of a place to stay, I will provide it to him with no questions asked, indefinitely, and with the highest degree of security and confidentiality I can provide. I’m easy to get a hold of.” Kev Artus

I share a cell with Andy Dufresne, Captain Virgil Hilts and Dr. Timothy Leary; no prison can hold us.

Tuttle, it’s just “Hilts.”

I would just point out a grammatical error: “Simply replace your name with mine” should read “…my name with yours.”

@Certain: Yaar, fixed, matey!

@Jim: Ahhh… nice. Between my passport ans social security card published on the interweb and the ongoing confusion of our two identities, we just might achieve real privacy. Either that or a Borg-like hive-mind state

Davidson, Virgil is also Captain of his own soul.

He needs no provide with home, he needs a better lawyer. I suggest Joseph Alois Ratzinger. This holy man who is not narcistic, not egoistic, always tells the truth and never makes a mistake would explain all the world, that not using a preservative is definitelly not a crime. It is HOLY!!! (Especially while raping a small child)…
