Given what seems to be a preponderance of evidence that Kerry has commited libel, slander, defamation of character, borderline treason and blatant falsehood - why has some attorney out there not launched a class action lawsuit against Kerry for these damages, and with the intent provide meaningful compensation for the whole of the Vietnam era vet group? If there ever seemed to be a situation where a class action lawsuit would be justifed, this seems to be it.

I think a class action suit is a great idea.

Teresa has awfully deep pockets; some enterprising attorney should be willing to sue someone married to a billionaairess on behalf of 2+ million members of an affected class. Try multiplying the possible numbers and your calculator will "tilt."

If nothing else, it will make the $OB's life a little more miserable, which is exactly what he deserves.

As a matter of fact, if this thing could get going rapidly, it might be a great "October Surprise" and drown out Kerry's BS message for another month.

If some motivated attorney out there wants to get this going, I'm sure you could get a couple thousand lead plaintiffs on this site. I'd certainly volunteer.

Thanks to the two respondents - I wil attemt to draft a letter requesting that action and get it in the hands of Mr. Levin, or ask for a referral to someone else who might be interested in handling the case.

The request for legal action was made via fax on 9/19 and certified letter on Monday, 9/20. Could be tilting at windmills with no hope of success, or ??

Mustang, whichever way it goes, you did something. Good for you!

Got a retired mustang "era" vet here who may want to join any class action suit that comes up.

Good luck!

I think it's great of ya'll to do this! I'm not a veteran or I'd join you... maybe I can just as an American - I'm sure subjected to cruel and unusual punishment - having to see his face on tv repeatedly! and listen to his lies ! There's probably a time limit on when it should have been filed.... but you won't know until you try!

keep us posted ! (pun)

I'm a vet, not 'Nam though. I'm contemplating going to the local VFW halls in the area to check out the lay of the land and see if I can drum up support or inform the un-informed. Good or bad idea? Also wonder about the local Veterans Home and some other assisted-living retirement homes. These may be other good places we can find support. Most of those guys don't have 'puter access/knowledge I bet, nor Fox, and I don't think the SWB ads air here (yet).

Any ideas on how to do this w/o getting my head shot off?

The silence from the legal community in response to the request has been deafening. Have sent a .pdf copy of the request to another resource to ask if it has been worded correctly or if there are other problems that would inhibit a timely response to a letter sent both by fax and certified mail.

For those watching, a copy of the request to the Landmark Legal Foundation was sent to Admiral Hoffman for professional information and background, and with the hope and expectation that additional leverage may be brought to bear very swiftly.

I am a vet and you can damn sure count me in. Let's get it on.
Every day that Kerry is out walking around free is an insult to every vet whose honor he walked on and vilified.
If anyone ever needed to be brought up on charges of treason, this man is it.
And to my simple little mind, the charge is already proven by Mr. Kerry's own words. Sworn testimony even. It shouldn't get much better than this to a trial lawyer.
A 'Slam Dunk' as it were.

I would like to see a citizen's arrest of Kerry!

With due respect to all, I printed a copy of this entire conversational thread and have faxed it to counsel, taking the opportunity and liberty of plagiarizing "Dusty's" words - "Let's get it on." One would hope the forthrightness of this request would not offend distinguished counsel, and would accelerate the effort and make the point.

Way to go Mustang.
If it'll get this sucker in front of a jury, plagiarize the heck out of me.
