Let's start another petition!
Tansi/Good Evening Folks:
A couple months ago "The Metis Hunter" contacted CyberSmokeSignals.com while I was webmaster. Over the years, I'd grown to repect this contributor for their insightful, well expressed and written articles. In going through my Archives I came across the following and thought why not? One group has already sent two lists of particulars of those taxpayers opposed to the Manitoba Metis Federation spending more public money suing CSS.com.
The instructions for getting involved and participating are really easy:
(i) If you're opposed to the defamation lawsuit send me (pieuk@shaw.ca) your name, address, telephone, telephone and if an MMF Member your Local/card number. Your particulars will only be made available to those receiving the master list (i.e. Permier Doer/Prime Minister Harper)
(ii) The MMF has an annual budget of approximately $20 million about 95% of which comes from Ottawa the rest Manitoba. Therefore, if you're a Canadian taxpayer you can participate whether Aboriginal or not
In light of recent events at the Winnipeg Region's Annual General Meeting, we'd like to dedicate this posting to PLAINTIFF and MMF Southeast Vice-President DENISE THOMAS! So what say you readers? Here's "Metis Hunter's" Petition.
Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk

Hi Clare,
Here is a sample petition that I think would convey the sentiment out there and perhaps help you in your court case. It's just an idea but I think if you can show the Members of the MMF don't feel the organization itself has suffered harm to its reputation by reason of the statements made, then there is no reason for it being involved in a litigation. Anyway, run it by your lawyer for his opinion and dressing up of the wording.
Take Care,
The Metis Hunter

(i) Is currently involved in litigation against the owner and the operator of the internet website known as Cybersmokesignals.com
You would have to reword this part above. You should make it : former webmaster. By stating the above you are stating that Terry was the owner and operator it brings into it a hint that you as one of the plaintiffs are saying you had nothing to with the postings made on css.
(ii) At least two of our Members are being sued for statements made and published on said internet site.
This part should say "two members in good standing with the MMF are being sued." By the "at least" you bring into question that there are more than those stated above in the legal action
