To MMF presidential candidate Frank Godon: "Please help us!"
Good Day Readers:
The following was posted by The Public Eye (Truth To Power - www.accesstoinfo.blogspot.com; vicpopuli1@gmail.com).
As is his custom he always includes a metaphorical picture or image. This one is easy it a Russian working rising up against the Nazis much like presidential candidate Frank Godon is calling upon Metis voters to rise up against the regime of David Chartrand in MMF Election 2010. But what is the origin of the poster and the translation for the Russian words which appear on it?
Who better to help us than Frank Godon who is currently in St. Petersberg, Russia teaching at the university there surrounded by students. How say you Mr. Godon?
Bob Cox is the founder of the Media Bloggers Association based in New Rochelle, New York. We have talked with him by phone on one occasion and exchanged numerous e-mail. Suffice it to say he's very well versed on the MMF's lawsuit against CyberSmokeSignals.
Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk

Hi Bob,
Hope you're keeping well.
If you read carefully between the lines you've already received an answer to your remaining question. Why do you think we just raised the issue of Legal Defence Funds?
A few years ago a very wise person mentioned (Damn, can't remember their name!) if an individual keeps giving up ground, soon they will find themselves boxed into a corner standing on a postage stamp sized piece of land. Hope this further clarifies our position.
Please don't view this as a perjorative, Bob, but you have no apprecation whatsoever of the calibre of people with whom we're dealing. [. . . .]
Further, this by far is not the first time the Federation has used public resources to bring frivilous, vexatious and malicious litigation against private citizens. It's all about trying to misuse the legal system to threaten, intimidate and bully critics - period, full stop! When you have a chance you might wish to ask Jeff Niederhoffer about the Yvon Dumont case which he and his partner won once again involving the Manitoba Metis Federation.
Finally, our experience with these people has been show any sign of weakness and it's immediately exploited. Perhaps you may find this difficult to appreciate but those individuals involved have a hell of a lot more to lose than us[.]
Hope that answers your remaining question if not please let us know what you still don't understand and we'll try again. We view this correspondence as confidential.
Best Wishes,
Clare

I, too, would be interested to hear Frank's translation and, more particularly, his interpretation of the metaphoric symbolism of the poster.
