Hi Amazing-Typing-Fingers: I already know, from reading some of your writings, that you have a great analytical brain. Always appreciate hearing what you have to say. This definitely sounds like a very convoluted, spider-web type of a case. If the WTS was a very minor player in this, then I guess putting their name at the top of this "press release" is what the dubs would call "sensationalizing," eh?
And, sf, thanks for the additional info and link. Looks like none of the defendants have any intentions of paying up. I see the DOJ got involved on behalf of the defendants. Hmmmm... some heavy-hitting players in this tangled-web game. I also noticed the SSA and USPS are listed as defendants... Interesting. Wonder what part they played?
The posters idea sounds great, but probably expensive if you guys want to have lots of them at all the corners. Are there any xJWs with printing facilities who could do the work at cost for the big posters? Maybe printing up masses of flyers to hand out everywhere? Or get the NY cabbies involved somehow, as "mouthpieces"! Bumper stickers? (can't fit much on a bumper sticker, though). I'm not too familiar with NY, but how about any talk-radio personalities up there? Whatever is printed on the posters could be zapped to Talk Radio Hosts, and you know how they LOVE to talk things up! (What's Rush Limbaugh up to these days? ;) Anybody with "connections" that could buddy up to The NY Times or other such media outlets who might be willing to give FREE advertising space? (dreaming here). Nothing like a full page ad, taking up an entire page of a newspaper, to get people's attention. But that would probably cost a thousand bucks or more alone. How about Rolling Stone or some of the other off-beat publications?
I can't go to NY either, not well physically, and as far as funds, living on a disability income as it is... brainstorming, writing, and cheering is my best available contributions to the cause.
Thanks again for the link and update!
