Hi, Gina-

Thanks for the tip and compliment; I just assumed she'd made a typo,
as I've never heard of this "tmail" business.

Have any interest in getting involved with the PAC? It's called
Enlighten the Vote, formerly known as GAMPAC, and it's led by former
American Atheists president Ellen Johnson. The new website isn't up
yet, but if you'd like a bit of info, you can check out this little
Facebook group I've set up in the meantime. We could always use a
regional representative in Albany; it wouldn't involve any regular
work per se, but we need eyes and ears on the ground outside of this
here secularist enclave...

Thanks again,

Barrett Brown

Hi,

Wrong Gina Martin!  I keep getting emails for the NYC Gina Martin sent to my
gmail.  Her real address appears to be ginamartin@tmail - "t" for what I
have no clue.  Basically, I get all kinds of personal emails for this woman
sent to my gmail (which I've had since they first rolled out), for a couple
of years running now. After trying unsuccessfully to correct the issue by
reaching out, more times than I care to try to count, I now let them just go
to junk and auto delete.

I'm a big capital-A atheist, so I figured I'd do you a solid, and let you
know so you could send your info to the correct one.  I like your work :-)

The other Gina Martin - the one near Albany (kind of a long train ride)

Gina-

I understand that you're looking for a writer to assist you with some
essays and to help tutor your daughter in the general discipline of
writing, and I'd like to be considered. I'm a full-time freelancer
whose work has appeared in dozens of publications and media outlets
covering a variety of topics, and my first book, Flock of Dodos:
Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design, and the Easter Bunny,
was released last year to praise from Alan Dershowitz of Harvard Law
School, Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone, Cenk Uyger of Air America Radio,
The Huffington Post, Skeptic, and other sources (and I'd be
italicizing all of these if I could only figure out how to do so in
gmail). In addition to my other projects, I currently serve as
director of communications for a PAC based up here in New York.

As I'm doing several political projects on a pro bono basis these
days, I could use some extra money and would be delighted to do so as
a writing tutor. Please get in touch if you'd like to discuss this
further.

Thanks,
