Karen Budd-Falen deserves MAJOR kudos for investigating this and bringing it to the public. This needs to be passed on to congressmen/women, and shouted from the rooftops.

The MSM will NEVER cover this issue.

If you’d like to be on or off this Upper Midwest/outdoors/rural list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

Thanks girlangler.

It's hard to believe that there are viable multimillion dollar lawsuits out there that no law firm will take, but that appears to be the case.

Thank goodness we have the Federal Government to step in.

John Edwards never imagined this scam, but he or his ilk will catch on.

This is the main objective of the Democrats left. Make sure no matter what we do they receive money to combat us!

Thanks for posting this, Girl.

I’ve seen people post that tax dollars are funding lawsuits by enviros in the past but never saw where anyone had researched it like this and nailed it down. This is pathetic and something has to be done to change this. Am book marking your thread.

I don’t buy it that the government doesn’t know how much they have paid out to these law firms. Years ago the IRS required EVERYONE paying ANY amount to ANY lawyer to issue a Form 1099 and send it to the IRS. This is because lawyers (being mostly democrats) don’t pay their taxes. Even when they file tax returns they are fraudulent.

At the very least, with the tax bracket most lawyers are in, the government should get almost half of that money back.

Brian Smith, a spokesman for Earthjustice, said the foundation counts on those fees in part because it represents groups free of charge.

Nothing was more infuriating to read than this faux pas on the part of one of the leeches, the parasites.

It never occured to him that the money fairy (the American taxpayer), might have some thoughts on that charecterization.

“Taxes fund environmental suits - Environmental law firms reap billions in fees to fund lawsuits “

I’m stunned anyone besides a handful of us for 10 years on FR finally said this. The ‘environmental’ movement is one of the biggest taxpayer funded scams out there. Thanks to the ESA and those who refuse to repeal it. All the enviro groups are run by lawyers, they give not one whit for conservation.

“The firms also are accessing government funds through the Judgment Fund,”

Another thieving socialist program that Bush and the Republican party refused to eliminate. Because they refuse to cancel these obvious threats to our freedom and private prtoperty, paid for with our tax dollars, people run around here saying it’s iimpossible to cancel liberal programs once they’re passed and funded.

In truth, what’s lacking is representation enthusiastically WILLING to nullify these treasonous programs. Liberals have no problem cancelling military programs. Revenge against their liberal holy cow programs is fair play. And it needs to start - yesterday. Thanks, Bush and congress.

I believe that Western Watersheds Project is the group that sued and got the water irrigation stopped to over 2 million acres of viable and productive farm land in the California Central Valley.

If so, the groups leader is Bobby Kennedy Jr-—Maria’s cousin.

The millions of dollars lost in ag production over a non-commercial fish that is NOT even indigenous to the state is obscene. Unemployment in that part of Calif is over 40%.

I bet none of these groups had as hard a time getting nonprofit status as Tea Party groups did.
