<div>Hello, I am Jim Freedom, and I'm reaching out to you on behalf of Christopher Ruff, you may know him as Direct D on YouTube.
</div>
<div>He is a friend who has recently helped me a great deal with advice and guidance advancing my career. He helps many people and I never see him asking anyone else for help for himself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, I’m asking you to help Christopher, He's facing unjust criminal charges that shouldn't even exist, and he urgently needs funds to afford legal representation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>People that know Chris personally have watched him relentlessly question government overreach and expose corruption wherever he sees it. Because of this, the government is blatantly trying to silence him with unconstitutional charges and deceptive court loopholes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Christopher has been quoted exorbitant fees ranging from $70,000 to $100,000 to secure a lawyer willing to challenge the court on four cases that blatantly violate his constitutional rights. The lawyers that have looked into the cases (listed below) believe the state will force each to go through the entire legal process including trials. They expect Chris, because of his unique government accountability position, to have to jump through every legal hoop available to the government which increases the cost needed for a lawyer to navigate that system on his behalf. 
</div>
<div>$100,000 up front is an unachievable amount for most people, however, if we can find 100,000 freedom loving people willing to donate $1, this impossible task becomes possible for a man that absolutely needs it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>**These charges are a grave injustice, and Christopher deserves a fair chance to defend himself.**
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contributions will go directly towards covering Christopher's attorney fees, nothing else, enabling him to fight these unjust charges and finally clear his name! The sooner we get him a good lawyer the sooner you will see fresh Arizona content from Direct D!
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to achieving justice for Chris and letting government know that our community support network in the freedom movement is strong!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks.
</div>
<div>Together, we CAN achieve this goal and save this iconic freedom fighter, father of 3 and personal friend.
