To: No Longer Free State

What's needed is some pro-bono legal help. I should think a counter-suit might be the way to go.

Hi, Folks. I am not so sure publicity like this is a good thing.

Right now, we were offered a chance to sign mutual releases and let this go behind us.

While I am totally convinced of my innocence in this charge, this is the kind of thing that might make the Plaintiff dig in his heels and fight.

The issue is NOT whether I think I can win this, we have some tremendously damning evidence to present in trial, but the issue is whether I can afford to continue the fight.

The fund-raiser so far has allowed me to pay the lawyer back for fees incurred so far. I need to almost triple what I have collected to finish the fight, and then, repeat this for a countersuit to come to trial.

That is way to much money to ask people to help with...in fact, asking for what I got so far is too much.

It is too late, McCaslin wrote an accurate piece, and the word has gone out.

I am just concerned about unintended consequences that I cannot afford.

Absolutely. A little SLAP litigation would be wonderful.

Litigant is longtime AA Dem "Reverend" scammer with multiple fraud problems. Sue him, his church, his wife, anyone who encouraged him, anyone else who was with him at the rally, etc.

Plaintiffs control litigation, but counter-plaintifs can turn up the heat too.

Counter suit is all they will understand and should be done right away IMHO.

I sent him a donation, but I also I hope that he can still get some pro bono help and ultimately prevail and counter-sue. Also, if the man suing him is falsely claiming that he was battered, and testifies to that in court under oath, I hope the D.A. looks hard at filing a perjury case. If Martha Stewart can be jailed for lying to officials then so can someone filing a false civil suit.

A huge counter-suit attached to a Federal Civil Rights suit involving the suppression of the first amendment would appear to be in order. The liberal bullies who use the legal system to unjustly attack people they oppose should have a comeuppance.

If you're pro-Bono, perhaps you need to
check out another forum.
