To whom it may concern,
Our firm has been retained by military personnel stationed overseas who requested voter ballots and did not receive them for the recent national elections, for the purpose of protecting their "fundamental right" to vote.
It is our position that denial of the right to vote constitutes not only a violation of one's fundamental constitutional rights, but taxation without representation. Our clients can be made whole by flying their ballots to them immediately (injunctive relief) so that their voices may be heard, or pecuniary relief in the form of their not having to pay taxes for their period of disenfranchisement from the voting process (four years).
Since this is going to be filed in Federal Court on Monday, 11-20-00, we need any other military members experiencing the same problem to contact us immediately.
We are doing this suit pro bono, unless we win, in which case we will ask the court for reasonable attorney fees. However, the costs of litigating this case could be extremely high since it will likely go all the way to the Supreme Court (copying costs, filing fees, research fees etc.,) so we are asking for donations to be sent to the firm made out to: Right to Vote Class Action.
For further information please contact Philip E. Jones at the above location.
Sincerely,
Matthew Finch, Attorney at Law
"Philip E. Jones"
