House Passes Bill Making Harassment By Internet, Text Messaging a
Criminal Act

OKLAHOMA CITY (March 10) -- Under legislation recently approved
by the House, Oklahoma's law enforcement agencies would have another
tool to stop threatening behavior before it escalates into a violent or
deadly crime.
House Bill 1804, would make it illegal to use any electronic or telecommunication device to terrorize or harass another individual. "This bill expands current harassment laws to make clear that not only are harassing telephone calls illegal, but so are harassing e-mails, faxes, and text messaging,"
This legislation was requested by an Oklahoma County assistant district attorney.

Under existing state law, it is illegal to use a telephone and
select communication devices to threaten someone with physical harm or
death, or to use the devices to make obscene or indecent calls. Under HB
1804, those acts would also be illegal if committed through the use of
modern communication devices such as pagers, cellular or wireless
telephones, wire, cable, radio, fax and the Internet, including
electronic messages and instant messages.
Furthermore, it would be illegal to use any of those forms of
communication if the intent is "to terrify, intimidate or harass, or
threaten to inflict injury or physical harm to any person or property of
that person."
Any telecommunication or electronic communication that transmits
"signs, signals, data, writings, images and sounds or intelligence of
any nature"... or that distributes "images, text, voice, video or data
by wire, cable or wireless means" would be included under the bill.

"This legislation will enhance the safety of many Oklahomans,"
Cargill said. The House approved HB 1804 on a 97-0 vote; it will next be
considered by the state Senate.

Justice & Common Sense Act Passes Full House:
Measure to Stop Junk Lawsuits Now Heads to State Senate

OKLAHOMA CITY (March 9, 2005) - The full Oklahoma House today
passed a ground-breaking lawsuit reform effort, approving a
comprehensive measure that will help boost the state's economy while
also stopping trial lawyers from abusing Oklahoma's legal system.

Lawmakers passed House Bill 2047, the Justice & Common Sense Act
of 2005 by a vote of 62 to 38 The bill now moves to the State Senate for
action.

"Working Oklahomans lose when jackpot justice and junk lawsuits
clog our courts," said Speaker Todd Hiett (R-Kellyville), the author of
the measure. "Though some good lawyers are trying to do what's right,
too many trial lawyers have become the new robber barons of the 21st
century. They're willing to abuse our legal system to line their own
pockets. We're going to put a stop that."

"This measure brings common sense back to Oklahoma courtrooms,"
said Rep. Fred Morgan (R-Oklahoma City), who is also an attorney.
"People from all walks of life increasingly fear they could be the next
target of a frivolous lawsuit. The people deserve a fair system.
Frivolous lawsuits are preventing justice, and they're hurting every
Oklahoman."

The Justice & Common Sense Act aims to create a stronger
economic climate in Oklahoma, by reducing the harmful impact of lawsuit
abuse. Hiett and Morgan pointed out that last year, a watered-down bill
was signed into law by Governor Henry.

Hiett said junk lawsuits hurt Oklahoma by ruining the lives of
innocent people, by making health care more expensive, by preventing job
growth and by levying a hidden tax on citizens.

"Lawsuits are like weapons, and they should only be used as a
last resort," said Hiett. "Today we're all paying for lawsuit abuse. It
hits us all in the pocketbook, and prevents economic growth in our
state."

To stop this systemic abuse, to allow good lawyers to take back
their profession and to accelerate Oklahoma's economy, Hiett says the
Justice & Common Sense Act of 2005 will tackle four major areas of
reform:

Quick and Fair Compensation for Injured People: The Justice and
Common Sense Act of 2005 will make it easier for injured people
(plaintiffs) and defendants with strong cases to win on summary
judgment, rather than going through the painful, expensive and difficult
process of a trial.

Cleaning Up Class Action: An important and legitimate part of Oklahoma's
legal system, class action suits in recent years have unfortunately
turned into a shakedown racket for some trial lawyers. In one recent
case against Jiffy Lube, attorneys collected millions in fees while the
clients got coupons for car service. Cleaning up class action will
address two areas.
* If clients get coupons, the lawyers get coupons.
* Limit "contingency" fees: Lawyers will be paid for the hours
they actually work, just like everyone else in Oklahoma.

Reduce Health Care Costs for Hardworking Oklahomans:
* Putting limits on non-economic damages - Money for pain and
suffering should be set at common sense levels. Right now, the system is
too often abused, hurting both injured people and defendants.
* Greater freedom for doctors to give free care to disadvantaged
and indigent Oklahomans: Doctors will be able to provide charity care
without worrying about insurance.

Common Sense Protection for Business Owners:
* Lawyers sue businesses that make products that have already been
approved by the federal government as safe. This will end under the new
system.
* Choice-based products which everyone knows can be harmful - such
as fast food - should not be subject to lawsuits.

Thought you were cute, didn't you Normie? I told you I would find out anything you posted anywhere any time and within only a few minutes after you did it. Want the proof? Here it is.

To whom it may concern:

Just thought you should be aware that CREDITWRENCH CEO Bill Bauer today copied and pasted your website to his blog http://creditwrench-the-truth.blogspot.com claiming it as part of his "advanced" credit repair technique.

Advanced Credit Repair Technique? No, and what are you blathering about copied stuff? You must be talking about the Newsweek magazine cover you filched and put on your junk pile.

The Newsweek Magazine legal department got notified about that little trick of yours by phone the hot second you put it up on your junk pile and they aren't happy about it. Get a life you dumb jackass.

Hundreds of newsgroups have your spamming efforts. Yeah Sure. You are nothing but a fucking criminal.
