Washington SAF/Alan Gottlieb + others sue WA AG Ferguson for personal rights violations

[po18guy]

It seems that Washington State Attorney General Bob "Turd Biden" F(BI)erguson has been using state resources to investigate the personal lives of those who oppose his legal and ideological attacks on the second amendment of the federal constitution and article 1, SS 24 of the Washington State constitution. The weaponization of Olympia. From the SAF release:

"Additional plaintiffs are the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, the Service Bureau Association, Merril Mail Marketing and Liberty Park Press. They are represented by attorneys Steven W. Fogg and Jack M. Lovejoy at Corr Cronin LLP in Seattle.

Ferguson and three assistant AG's assigned to the Consumer Protection Division (CPD) of the Attorney General's office are being sued individually and in their official capacities

According to the complaint, "Over the last two years, the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General's Office ("CPD") has carried out an expansive, highly intrusive probe into the private affairs of SAF, CCRKBA, CDFE, SBA, LPP, MMM, Mr. Gottlieb, and his family. It has served Civil Investigative Demands ("CIDs") on each of the plaintiffs, including two on Mr. Gottlieb, citing the same consumer protection laws Mr. Ferguson was recently found to have abused." The complaint refers to a recent Washington Supreme Court ruling which "held unanimously that Mr. Ferguson's office improperly used Washington Consumer Protection and Charitable Solicitations Acts to suppress constitutionally protected speech with which he disagreed."

These legal actions cost a lot of money! Go to SAF.org and donate $$. The SAF is a great organization fighting for us. They use our money very wisely and well. Not like the NRA, and I'm a life member in the NRA.

So far, it seems, the NRA has been silent on this situation in Washington state.

I do believe the nra is one of the entities suing the state over 1240.

No wonder the Consumer Protection Division did not respond to my (entirely valid) complaint about a business (that charged me $700 for services never rendered that had been cancelled in advance totally in compliance with the contract) with anything more than an auto-signed form letter basically stating that the business was right and I had no right to claim otherwise.

Another corrupt office in the state of Washington. No surprise here.

The truly pitiful thing is, he's gonna be the next Governor of this state.

If a recall was not so costly, time-consuming and likely to fail, I would become involved in a heartbeat. Both Ferguson and the smiling socialist should be long gone.

Just think about it...turd ferg will be installed as our new governor...

Luckily most municipalities and government systems literally run themselves. The less biased input from officials the better they operate. Most people don't have an issue because as long as they can make it to both soccer practices, afford cable and the latest "it" product, they are happy.

The TV box says, Biden is doing the right things for Oceania, I mean America. Our governor has improved output things are fine.

Straight from the Stalinist playbook….. see any parallels?

Show me the man and I'll show you the crime.

Let us once and for all root out the seeds of individual ambition. Let us smash any manifestation of anti-party groupism, put an end to efforts to destroy party discipline, in whatever form these efforts manifest themselves.

I think that a federal judge might issue an injunction aginst that.

I'm not terribly optimistic on that.
