10.01.07 TEACHER LAWSUIT UPDATE
Our lawsuit against the Medford school district has attracted an
amazing amount of attention and an amazingly generous response by
supporters of the Oregon Firearms Educational Foundation. We have
received help from people all across the country and we are humbled
and grateful for your kindness and willingness to contribute.
We have had assistance from many long time supporters, and many new
friends as well. It would be impossible to overestimate how much you
all have done. And all your help came without OFEF once sending out a
press release or seeking any publicity on this case. Although we have
responded to countless media
inquiries, we never sought to exploit the media circus this case has
become.
But a few press releases can go a long way. We have heard from many
who were asking about a _press release_
(http://www.saf.org/viewpr-new.asp?id=244) sent out by Second
Amendment Foundation announcing their support for the teacher's
lawsuit. Invariably we have been asked why your efforts as the
supporters of OFEF were ignored in the release. We have no answer to
that question.
OFEF has already paid several thousand dollars in legal fees and is
committed to covering all the expenses, and that would be impossible
without the generosity of people like you. Your early commitment
should not be ignored. But that one press release got SAF tremendous
publicity and apparently, that was the
point. Their total contribution to the case was $500.
Currently, the school district has filed a motion to dismiss our case
and has demanded that the teacher's name be made public. Numerous
reporters have also threatened to publicize her name. She has informed
us that if she is exposed, she will continue to fight. We are grateful
for her courage.
To hear an interview and update on the case, which is due to be heard
in court on Oct 11th, please go to the archives of Gun Talk to hear
_Sunday's_ (http://guntalk.libsyn.com/) show, with OFEF's Kevin
Starrett as guest.

Libertarianism: The "insane" ( according to the majority of people )
philosophy that it's wrong to initiate force against others, and that
slavery and involuntary servitude are wrong as part of that.

1 Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist
within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
