Hooray for the Good Guys!
Update on Center for Biological Frivolity Litigators getting theirs!!!! Ping your friends :)
What a guy!
Arizona Cattle Grower's Association
The Arizona Cattle Growers' Association (ACGA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1904 to properly represent the ranchers of the state and to protect the cattle industry. It has grown to include more than 2,000 cow/calf producers, business associates, individual associates and friends of the industry from every county in Arizona.
ACGA offers member benefits such as group health insurance and workers' compensation insurance plans, discounts from local merchants and full-time representation in the legislative and executive branches of state and federal government. ACGA staff members monitor federal, state and county agency regulations and in recent years monitor court decisions that affect ranch families.
Due to the dozens of lawsuits filed in the past few years by activist organizations, ACGA has also established a litigation fund to defend ranching in both state and federal courts.
Please call (602) 267-1129 for ACGA membership information, or email Maria Cadena, mcadena@arizonabeef.org

I wonder if the Forest Sevice was also included in this suit? If so their (the so called Center for Bio Diversity) legal expenses, at least in part will probably be paid for by you and me. This is the part that of the law that needs to be changed.
These environmental lawsuits are just part of a lawyer employment act.
The enviro lawyers should have each been given 90 days for contempt of court for filing this case. The time should be with out privledge that is no phone calls, no visitors, no mail and no computer access. If more lawyers were given time for filing false cases there would be a lot less of them filed. We can't assume that the "good ole boy network" of the Bar will police itself, after all they never have.
Save the ESA! Post-election rider targets habitat
Your letter will be addressed and sent to:

----THIS LETTER WILL BE SENT IN YOUR NAME----
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
California developers are pressuring members of Congress to place a rider on the upcoming Omnibus Appropriations Bill to fundamentally weaken the Endangered Species Act. The amendments would be the most significant changes to the ESA since 1982. Massive public policy changes should not be done through stealth riders. They should be subject to rigorous public review and debate. Please do not allow the rider to be attached or to be voted through on the Omnibus coattails.Attention Anti-Enviro Extremists Activists: Sign up for this newsletter to respond to your Congressmen in opposition to these insane campaigns.RIDER 1. For almost 20 years, federal agencies have used a controversial Reagan-era regulation that undermines the recovery of endangered species by allowing the destruction and degradation of their critical habitats. In the past four years, three different federal appeals courts have ruled that the regulation is illegal. The most recent decision states: "This can not be right. If the [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service] follows its own regulation, then it is obligated to be indifferent to, if not to ignore, the recovery goal of critical habitat." The victory should issue in a new conservation era that focuses on recovery of endangered species, not merely keeping them alive in a continuous endangered state. Developers want to override the Endangered Species Act and the courts to undermine recovery, allowing critical habitats to be destroyed and wildlife populations to continue their slow spiral toward extinction.
RIDER 2. The rider also seeks to shield logging, development, mining and other large-scale plans from scientific review and reform -even when the plans are proven by scientists to be pushing imperiled plants and animals to extinction. The rider would thus amend the ESA to include the controversial "no surprises" policy created in the mid-1990s. Like the anti-critical habitat regulation, this plan was also struck down by the courts. Developers want the outdated policy made a permanent part of the ESA even though it has been thoroughly opposed by scientists and is currently being rewritten to include greater public review and to remove its most glaring flaws. The developers don't want to wait for public review; they don't want the flaws removed; they want the plan enshrined in its worst, most damaging form.
Please oppose these riders to the Omnibus Appropriations Bill. Riders take the public out of public policy. They shield controversial, damaging proposals from debate and examination. In this case, they would weaken the fundamental underpinnings of the Endangered Species Act: recovery, habitat protection, and good science. We need more recovery of endangered species not less. We need more protection of essential habitat areas, not less. And we need to change management plans in response to new scientific research, not blindly lock plans into place.

Thanks for the deep set smile. I'll keep it at least through the weekend.
Ping.
Good luck on collecting the judgement.
They'll close their doors tomorrow and open undera new name next week.
There needs to be a more permanent solution.

SNIP. . . . .The suit was filed, according to Chilton, because he wanted to challenge the way the Center for Biological Diversity does business. "They don't use science, they use scare tactics," said Chilton. "They also use endangered species as surrogates to obtain their own goals and to raise money," he added.
The jury agreed with Chilton's claim, citing the Center did make false statements in a news advisory, and that misleading photographs were used in an unsuccessful effort to block renewal of Chilton's grazing permit. The jury also cited that the Center did not accurately describe the condition of the grazing allotment.
"Four of the photographs were of other people's private property," Chilton said.
"What they do is sue the forest service," Chilton explained.
"If the forest service doesn't do something they (Center for Biological Diversity) ask for an injunction to end grazing until the forest service rights its wrong."
"In 1999 I was involved in a lawsuit that affected 85 ranches in the southwest, including Santa Cruz County"
The source of these controversial lawsuits are two endangered animal species: the lesser long nosed bat and Sonoran chub, a small fish endemic to the Sonoran Desert.
Chilton explained that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) published an opinion that cattle grazing would "likely adversely affect the Sonoran Chub."
In order for Chilton to continue grazing on certain pastures, a biologist, zoologist, fish biologist, rangeland conservation expert and botanist would have to inspect his pastures nine times a year.
"That would have wiped me out," said Chilton, adding, "I objected strenuously to this ruling and filed a lawsuit with the Arizona Cattle Growers' Association" and eventually had the ruling overturned. . . . . . . . . .
Great! BTTT

Ancient forests, free-flowing rivers, living oceans and deserts and the abundance of life they contain: all these, having evolved over millions of years, are in danger of vanishing from the world within decades. In the grips of an explosion of extinctions that is unprecedented in history, we are now seeing the disappearance of biological and habitat diversity across the globe as wild lands and waters are desecrated and species are driven extinct. At the same time-under the advance of a rapacious and homogenizing global economy driven by human population growth and resource consumption-traditional and smaller societies are being subsumed and destroyed, and with their destruction linguistic and cultural diversity are also in drastic decline. Our Mission At the Center we believe that the health and vigor of human societies and the integrity and wildness of the natural environment are closely linked. Beyond their extraordinary intrinsic value, animals and plants, in their distinctness and variety, offer irreplaceable emotional and physical benefits to our lives and play an integral part in culture. Their loss, which parallels the loss of diversity within and among human civilizations, impoverishes us beyond repair. Combining conservation biology with litigation, policy advocacy, and an innovative strategic vision, the Center for Biological Diversity is working to secure a future for animals and plants hovering on the brink of extinction, for the wilderness they need to survive, and by extension for the spiritual welfare of generations to come. Join us in the fight to keep the wild alive. |
I hope he starts collection actions!
He can take posession of the organizations name! He can take posession of the donor list! He can take possession of the MAILING LIST!
If they try and conceal assets they can be held in contempt!
(plus in judgment collections proceedings, THE LOOSER PAYS ATTORNEY FEES! )
If they transfer assets such as a member list or donor list to a new organization, he can get a cease and decist order and obtain MORE DAMAGES!
About time they started using the Commie's tactics against them.
FYI
