[AT] Quick question

[charlie hill]

Spencer, I understood that it was private citizens.  What I meant was
to try and identify the ring leader of those involved and figure out
what he was after and how to make it equally uncomfortable for him
to continue.  Of course you won't know that until you understand the parties
involved.  You may already know.  No need to reply.  Just my thoughts.
Good luck and thanks for the info on the crowd funding.  I might need that
myself some day!

Charlie

Let me continue to answer in no particular order.

Hey Dave.  The latest is a repeat - the others weren't.  Dismissal is easy 
in this latest because of that but convincing a judge to disallow any 
depositions or any other expensive legal work until the motion to dismiss is 
heard can be tough.   That is what I learned in the first one.

To Charlie.   Private citizens are involved, not governmental entities.   In 
fact the governmental entities have been very helpful and supportive.   Not 
sure my state rep will be of much help

Also:  I am in the Voluntary agricultural district.  What I have learned is 
that is meaningless in terms of protecting you from suits.  It just makes it 
more likely you will win.  You are still going to spend all kinds of money.

While I have the big guns blazing I am also working more subtle approaches. 
One way I am fighting back is by having created a crowdfunding campaign at 
fundedjustice.com.   (Please follow it and/or share it on your favorite 
social media: 
https://www.fundedjustice.com/en/projects/25952-Defending-Locally-Grown). 
The money part you see there is so they will doubt their ability to bankrupt 
me.  But really it is not about the money raised, it's about applying  peer 
pressure and communicating the solidarity and support we have in the local 
community specifically. They know many of the folks that have supported, 
followed and even donated to the campaign.   I hope they realize I am not 
alone.

Thanks again for listening !
