DON ADAMS UPDATE: Urgent Help Needed on Appeal

Don Adams | 2/25/2004 | self / Don Adams

Gentle Freepers,

Today I received a phone call from Don Adams. The case he and his sister Teri are waging against the Teamsters, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, and Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham is in imminent danger of failing for lack of funds.

(If you are not familiar with Don and Teri Adams and their struggles, please turn to the "REMEDIAL SECTION" below.)

Now, I know that FreeRepublic is not a forum for fundraising, but FreeRepublic has been involved in the plight of the Adamses since the moment it began in October, 1998, and because Freepers have given generous support to them in the past, I was adamant that Freepers be given the opportunity to know the score while there was still time to do something about it. To that end, I urged Don to write a few lines explaining the situation, with the understanding that I would post them to FreeRepublic.

There is nobody on this website who has sacrificed more in the struggle against Clinton and his corrupt syndicate than Don and Teri Adams. They deserve whatever support we can provide. Don writes:

As you know, Teri and I are in the legal fight of our lives with the Teamsters, Ed Rendell, and Lynne Abraham.

Having lost our Federal Civil Rights claim in summary judgment, Teri and I made the tactical but difficult decision to end our relationship with Judicial Watch, Inc.

Much had been written on Free Republic's web site about the problems we encountered in dealing with Larry Klayman, Esq., particularly the year long battle we fought to gain possession of our case file from his firm.

After the dispute became public knowledge, Judicial Watch finally agreed to turn the file over to our new attorney, Trey Mayfield, of Gura and Day.

Meanwhile, the Teamsters (local and international), filed a motion with the Court, last year, to force us to pay their attorney's fees and costs which totaled over $160,000.

Imagine, they beat us up, put us on trial, and then attempt to make us pay their legal bills!

Fortunately, Attorney Mayfield vigorously argued the matter and the Judge agreed to defer his decision until after the 3^rd Circuit rules on our Federal Appeal.

Attorney Mayfield must now file the Appeal. Teri and I hired him on retainer. However, Mr. Mayfield cannot work for us pro bono and the costs of the appeal must be paid in advance.

Unfortunately, we may not be able to continue. We have used up our resources and must come up with $2400.00, ASAP, to pay for the costs of the initial filing of our appeal.

Attorney Mayfield thinks we have a strong case. He and his firm have dedicated themselves to a successful outcome. Teri and I absolutely hate the thought of resurrecting the Defense Fund--especially since so many have already contributed to the case through Judicial Watch--but we have no choice!

We are appealing to those who remember our case, and to those who believe in defending First Amendment Rights, especially the Right of American citizens to criticize their Government.

Any small donation would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be sent to:

Great post, Doc... you answered all the, "I didn't get part of that Chief" questions in the first shot!

Good luck.

If you or anyone else happens to have copies of the videos that had been online, I'd be happy to host them again. They're powerful -- seeing what really happened.

[King Prout]

oh-ho-ho-ho, dayumm.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Count me in. Check in the mail tomorrow.

[Hunble]

Please do not get me wrong. I absolutly support this effort.

[anymouse]

Thanks for keeping this issue alive. I wish I was in a position to help Don and Teri, but due to my own hardship, I can't right now. I will try to keep the thread bumped though, so others that can help will know about the sacrifices of Don and Teri Adams.

[Iwo Jima]

I suggest that everyone who gets a solicitation from Judicial Watch return it with a note saying that you will send no money until JW settles up with Don and Terry.

Hmmmm? I remember seeing mine at one time, but now I don't know how to find it, nor do I remembeer the number. In doing some looking, there are some numbers there, when looking at source while working on a reply, am I cold or hot?

Bump and donated for a worthy cause.

[wita]

Talked a good line didn't he. Well He has made a career of his type of lawsuit, and I'm not sure how many of them are truly valid and how many the judge would just like to throw out of court.

[backhoe]

For whatever it's worth, I will dig through my grocery money this morning and send what I can... I urge others to do likewise. Perhaps I need to amend my tagline with "and goons..."

[PGalt]

Thanks for the ping. A $20 check goes in the mail today. I remember the horrific first hand account thanks to FreeRepublic. Criminals have been destroying innocent victims for well over 2000 years. Thousands of years...millions of innocent victims.

[FR_addict]

I remember.

Most of us would probably have folded under the intimidation from the teamsters.

This is a good cause.

[sauropod]

Check will be sent today.

[Physicist]

Morning bump! Thank you all for your support!

[Reagan Renaissance]

Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.

I hope that it is true that the teamsters spent $160,000 on their criminal defense and hope they have to spend twice that for the continued defense of their crimes and ten times that amount in damages to the Adamses for this outrageous civil assualt against the Adamses.

You can drop the first two links, as I've made the page live again. No need to go to an "archive."

[Elle Bee]

I'm in for $100 ..... from down island

. Some "public interest firm." More like HUCKSTERS.

TOO true

the Don and Terry Adam's case I think proves once and for all that Judicial Watch is a sham ..... Klayman and Co. give lawyers a bad name

Have they ever won anything other than our donations?

I have heard that also Lt. Commander Jack Daily suffered more under Judicial Watch than under Russian lasers

I hope someone does an investigative piece exposing these opportunistic headline / ambulance / donation chasers for what they are

Inept frauds who take advantage of people who have been beaten by the lib-dem machine only to be taken advantage of by these hucksters

I think their purpose is to capture the confidence of people in these positions and keep them distracted with inept lawyering until they have squeezed the life (and every donation dollar) out of themLook at JW's client list and tell me one that does not fit this scenario

Klayman and Co. are like Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton with law degrees.
