Kwame asks for donations

Kwame Kilpatrick through his spokesman this morning asked his supporters to pray and pay.

“For now the best way to help is pray for him and his family," New York-based spokesman Mike Paul told Free Press reporters in a story this morning.

Paul also told the Free Press that supporters of Detroit's ex-mayor will soon be able to donate towards his restitution.

The Detroit News today asked: "Will people come to Kilpatrick's rescue?"

"In all honesty, yes there are," said Eric Foster a local political consultant and pollster in the Detroit News story. "As frustrating as it may seem, there are people willing to do that."

The story also pointed out that since the text message scandal broke years ago, political patrons, prominent local businessmen and citizen supporters have donated thousands to Kilpatrick and his family.

Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner Tuesday ruled Kilpatrick guilty of violating his probation by not paying is $1 million owed to the city of Detroit in a timely fashion.

Kilpatrick is scheduled for sentencing on May 25.
