Help Grits pay for electronic privacy coverage
Time to ask for Grits readers' assistance to raise funds for extraordinary blog expenses. Regular readers know legislation has been filed in both the Texas House and Senate to require a warrant for law enforcement to access location tracking data from cell phones and other personal electronic devices without a warrant - a topic which Grits has covered more aggressively than any media outlet in the state. This weekend I'll be attending a conference on that topic in Connecticut at the Yale Law School with a spectacular-looking lineup of speakers and experts, but along with several recent open records requests, the cost has exceeded what's available in Grits' tip jar (i.e., contributions via the Pay Pal buttons in the right-hand column).

Until then, thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your help.

Grits,
As the Nipper requested, where does the check go? :~)
Shoot me an email at shenson[at]austin.rr.com and I'll give you the details. Mailing to my home address and didn't want to post it online. Thanks!!

I'll just write Google and ask for it.

Which would you prefer? Don't you have to give PayPal a fee?
Since I'm not a nonprofit, TEM - Grits is just a personal blog, at the end of the day - so PayPal charges sales tax, is the biggest difference.
I do not like paying taxes just because I want to give you a spot of cash! I really appreciate your work. I will send you an email and send you a check. We don't always agree, but information is valuable and you provide it honestly.
