When I say "trash his reputation". This means freedom of speech of 10,000 Americans that got expulsion emails can voice their opinions on thousands of internet platforms and "they" can contract with a service for $24,000 a year to clean it up as best and legally as they can.

Again, doing business in California is a privilege, not a right.

Looks like BobK needs to talk with Mr. Freeman! u$hPA's action may be nothing more than a cleverly disguised SLAP suit.

[JoeF]

The u$hPa did not file a lawsuit (yet, that I know of) against BobK. That Org expelled a good active member on poor grounds. So, would SLAPP or anti-SLAPP be involved? The Org had an action that may seem like a SLAPP action; but does "lawsuit" form the threshold?

Air California Adventure Inc. HAS filed a "legal action" against Bob K for his outspoken nature regarding the "safety and fairness" of their business operations. While they "claimed" that the legal action was connected to "work place violence" we know different. The Judge in the case also found inadequate grounds for Air California Adventure Inc.'s legal action.

So the ACA Inc. situation probably fits better under this SLAPP context. Of course, the u$hPa has effectively achieved a similar or identical result against Bob K as would have a SLAPP law suit.

Also, Joe -

An Anti-SLAPP "situation" by definition involves a law suit. SLAPP stands for Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. Anti-SLAPP laws will come into play in the context of a law suit that violates those laws.


Here's the exact California Law on the subject of SLAPP law suits -

How do I Start a Class Action?

Bought the same defective product,
Was billed for the same unauthorized charges,
Saw the same deceptive advertising, or
Worked at a company that violated employment laws.

Are Many Needed for a Lawsuit?

If you are having problems with a company—whether it’s your retailer, a company you bought stock in, or even your employer—many other people may well be having the same problems. A class action suit is often a good solution in these situations because it can allow thousands of people across wide distances to all benefit from a single case.

It does not take a lot of people to begin a class action. Class action lawsuits often start when one motivated person decides to take action.

Strategic lawsuit against public participation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP) is a lawsuit that is intended to censor, intimidate, and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their criticism or opposition.

The typical SLAPP plaintiff does not normally expect to win the lawsuit. The plaintiff's goals are accomplished if the defendant succumbs to fear, intimidation, mounting legal costs or simple exhaustion and abandons the criticism. In some cases, repeated frivolous litigation against a defendant may raise the cost of directors and officers liability insurance for that party, interfering with an organization's ability to operate. A SLAPP may also intimidate others from participating in the debate. A SLAPP is often preceded by a legal threat. The difficulty is that plaintiffs do not present themselves to the Court admitting that their intent is to censor, intimidate or silence their critics. Hence, the difficulty in drafting SLAPP legislation, and in applying it, is to craft an approach which affords an early termination to invalid abusive suits, without denying a legitimate day in court to valid good faith claims.

I got back from a week-long business trip late Friday night, and I met with my lawyer the next day. It appears that Air California Adventure (Robin Marien and others?) has had their lawyer (Christopher C. Saldana of Shewry & Saldana, LLP) file an appeal on the "Workplace Violence" restraining order that they lost. Their continued actions (including enlisting USHPA's support to expel me) is a perfect fit to the Wikipedia definition.
