Marc - all the best to you and your team as you guys get dragged into this totally un-neccessarily. What a bunch of B.S.!

If there is anything the poker run community can do to help you battle this out, please let me know as we would love to try and help.

You guys are a class act and have always produced a 1st class event!

!

Maybe we can set up a legal fund to help offset some of the bills, perhaps everyone that has ever attended a poker run or fun run can throw in a bit of money.

NOT a good idea....and please don't ramble on for pages.

why not, entering a poker run is not a secret event, is it against the law to send someone a letter, if so I think I will have Capital One arrested:D I am not suggesting physical harm or anything like that

Maybe one of the lawyers here will comment. It would be harassment and would not help, but certainly hurt the chances of a good outcome in court.

well then I guess we should all lay down and just take it:( maybe us MI folks should let our representatives and the local legal system know how we feel about frivolous law suits
