Let me continue to answer in no particular order.

Hey Dave.  The latest is a repeat - the others weren't.  Dismissal is easy in this latest because of that but convincing a judge to disallow any depositions or any other expensive legal work until the motion to dismiss is heard can be tough.   That is what I learned in the first one.

To Charlie.   Private citizens are involved, not governmental entities.   In fact the governmental entities have been very helpful and supportive.   Not sure my state rep will be of much help

Also:  I am in the Voluntary agricultural district.  What I have learned is that is meaningless in terms of protecting you from suits.  It just makes it more likely you will win.  You are still going to spend all kinds of money.

While I have the big guns blazing I am also working more subtle approaches.  One way I am fighting back is by having created a crowdfunding campaign at fundedjustice.com.   (Please follow it and/or share it on your favorite social media: https://www.fundedjustice.com/en/projects/25952-Defending-Locally-Grown).  The money part you see there is so they will doubt their ability to bankrupt me.  But really it is not about the money raised, it's about applying  peer pressure and communicating the solidarity and support we have in the local community specifically. They know many of the folks that have supported, followed and even donated to the campaign.   I hope they realize I am not alone.

Thanks again for listening !
