Title: HSUS is sweating but the fight is still going....especially here in Texas!! Post by: jls41 on May 24, 2010, 11:06:36 am From RPOA Texas Outreach and
Responsible Pet Owners Alliance "Animal welfare, not animal 'rights' and, yes, there is a difference." Permission granted to crosspost. May 24, 2010 HSUS is playing defense for a change! Don't you love it? Their Charity Navigator rating has dropped and Wayne Pacelle, their vegan president, is sweating bullets -- thanks to Consumer Freedom (CF). CF has the financial backing to expose the truth about HSUS through billboards, ads in major publications, and their www.humanewatch.org website. And Wayne-O doesn't like it! HSUS has launched a major attack against Richard Berman, Consumer Freedom lobbyist, on a personal level. It's ironic that HSUS must resort to personal attacks instead of addressing the issues. If the Consumer Freedom information were not factual, HSUS would have already filed the lawsuits. So how does that affect us Texans? Texas Humane Legislation Network (THLN) is a bosom buddy to HSUS. With your help, Responsible Pet Owners Alliance (RPOA) fought them both and won major victories at the last Texas Legislative Session. But did you know that HSUS and THLN shared THREE "very" well paid lobbyists for the last legislative session? Info on THLN at: http://www.ethics.state.tx.us/tedd/conlob2009d.htm (Scroll to the bottom for a link to "H's" for HSUS lobbyists. RPOA Texas Outreach is also listed.) The HSUS and THLN shared lobbyists' names are: Walter Fisher, Steve G. Holzheauser, and Patricia Shipton. HSUS also listed Lou A. Guyton, formerly with their regional office in Texas. RPOA can sympathize with Berman as we are also under major attack from THLN/HSUS with the most preposterous defamatory libelous and slanderous statements being made about us - some even posted on the THLN website. Why would they lie? They're too ridiculous to repeat and have nothing to do with the facts that we publish in this newsletter regarding the "Animal Rights" Agenda. If we had the money, we'd sue but our dollars are best spent elsewhere. We have Gibson Lewis, former Speaker of the House, on retainer as our lobbyist for the upcoming session in January but must have much more financial support as the retainer is all we have! Anyone can join RPOA Texas Outreach (our lobbying arm) with PayPal on the website below or the RPOA C3 nonprofit if they prefer. Talk about David and Goliath; it's hard to keep our slingshot in rubber bands. We're up against big bucks with THLN/HSUS throwing big fundraisers all over the state. We now have hotspots in Austin and San Antonio due to THLN influence. (More on that later.) RPOA has to be here everyday with our office as a clearinghouse for Texas animal issues and all the expense that entails -- not only when something bad comes up. Join up today!

Im no legal scholar myself, however I found this one statement kinda odd:
"If we had the money, we'd sue but our dollars are best spent elsewhere." Do they not have even one lawyer that is sympathetic to the RPOA cause that will offer pro-bono work. And if you sued for slander and won wouldn't the other party have to cover your court costs and legal fees. I say if they are slandering you sue the crap out of them and get some of that money out of HSUS's coffers. Just food for thought, they ain't gonna be able to fund all them anti-hunting billboards if you get enough big judgments against them.
