The Court's Memorandum Opinion, Doc. 106, is, in our opinion, fatally flawed in logic, common sense, and understanding of the law. Yesterday we filed our Motion to Alter or Amend the Court's Order Granting Summary Judgment because of the numerous "manifest errors" of fact and law. The motion, and supporting memorandum of points and authorities, may be viewed on my website: http://jeffdickstein.com, as Doc. Nos. 107 and 108.

Despite attempting to discredit Bill and his research, the Court did not order Bill to turn over to the government the names and addresses of Bill's "customers." This was a major victory for all of us. The government still has a few days to ask the court to reconsider; my gut reaction is that the government will merely lick it wounds and be satisfied with what it achieved. We, however, will not give up, as demonstrated by our Motion to Alter or Amend. Each new pleading filed by the government or order of the court only serves to allow us to refine and narrow our position, and make a more complete record of the utter fallacy of the government's position.

I know many of you are disappointed by the order granting summary judgment. But, this isn't over by a long shot. We all know the government has lost all semblence of understanding what its function is and its requirement to be bound by the chains of the constitution. The only way the government wins this battle is when we give up.

Bill Benson will never give up. He didn't give up after his first conviction, which was reversed on appeal. He didn't give up after his second conviction when he was imprisoned and almost killed. He didn't give up when he came out of prison confined to a wheel chair. He didn't give up when the government tried to put him back in prison in violation of the double jeopardy clause. He didn't give up when the government tried to violate the First Amendment and obtain your names and addresses. And he hasn't given up now.

We have come a long way in this litigation. As noted in our Motion to Alter or Amend, this is the first case in the more than 20 year history of 16th Amenement litigation where we have the proper argument, and evidence to support it, before a trial court. The court had to stand on its head and make ridiculous findings of both fact and law to allow the issuance of the summary judgment. Political change takes a long time and is a mighty struggle.

Political struggles, like all wars, require funding. We are in desperate need of funds for basic necessities like food and rent. We will need filing fees and printing costs for the appeal, and to conduct research. There is only so much we can do by ourselves. With your help, we can do so much more. Please, reach into your pocket and make whatever donation you can to allow this case to continue.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey A. Dickstein
