Legal: Cease and desist Letter?

 Hi Rick

If possible, please post on Fairfield life.  This is the most
 recentl letter i received from the TMO.  According to one 
 attorney, it's mostly saber rattling.

 I hope Mike has some good representation.

And a lot of money.

As this situation draws in on Mike I think it is obvious that he is making 
progress with his 
attornies.   I know he's been in S Florida for years and has financial 
supporters like any 
teacher in the field.  You don't need to be wealthy to tackle the threats of 
the TMO.  Money 
is not the issue here.  Teachers like Mike feel like they have more to loose by 
complying 
with the requests we read in the TMO attorneys template letter.  I think a loss 
for Mike 
would mean a loss for the teaching. The TMO would need to hire or recruit an 
attorney in 
Florida to do it's bidding.  Attorneys from the other side would sue for their 
expenses too.

I just received word here in California that the recert program is out of money 
(what, you 
thought the millionaire courses would bail them out!) and that teachers were 
told by 
administrators to keep all the money they collect for course fees.  They must 
charge 
$2500 so it's still crazy.  To my knowledge no recert teachers are getting any 
salaries. I 
think any intelligent judge would begin to see the goofy pattern and realize 
the TMO is not 
capable of taking care of it's employees, defending it's trademark or proving 
it's non-
profits status, especially in light of the new Patriot Act re transfer of funds 
abroad.
