Dear Anonymous:

Thank you for writing. Contrary to what Mr. Trachtenberg would like you to believe, CyberSmokeBlog did not publish the Affidavit in question, is not in violation of a Court Order and simply has no control over what other Bloggers may choose to say about this disgraceful lawsuit.

But it goes much, much deeper. During late July 2005 our then attorney Mr. Jeffrey Niederhoffer wrote to Counselor Trachtenberg proposing Judicially Assisted Dispute Resolution a procedure designed to reach an out of court settlement to avoid going to trial. In a letter dated October 14, 2005 Mr. Trachtenberg stated in part:

"My clients are not prepared to enter into JADR at this time."

The lawsuit should have ended not days or months ago but years. It's one thing for Plaintiffs to use their money to sue private citizens quite something else to have their legal fees paid with your hard earned taxpayer dollars. To make matters worse, two current litigants (Rita Cullen and Darryl Montogomery) have not been Board of Directors since June 29, 2006 (date of the last MMF election) yet continue to have Mr. Trachtenberg's costs paid from public monies.

To date how many countless thousands and thousands and thousands of your dollars has this lawsuit cost you the Metis voters of Manitoba? What has the benefit to you been? Do you not deserve an accounting? Good luck trying to get an answer from the current "transparent" MMF leadership! All you're doing is enriching Murray Trachtenberg.

Remember, when you cast your ballot in the next election, which must be held no later than September of this year, a vote for David Chartrand and the Plaintiffs is a vote to continue this senseless litigation.

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
