To: Governmental Affairs Officers of State Chambers of Commerce

Dear Sir or Madam:

Please go to my anti-plaintiffs' lawyers blog.

I would like to work at and through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce level. I am not making headway there at the moment, and I will commence working at the state level in the meantime.

I would particularly call your attention to the approaches I have made to I. State legislatures and E. State attorney generals. Although I have not gotten started, I intend to activate myself on the issue at the state level, which I will most likely report on here: L. Our lawmakers and politicians- 2008.

Please contact me if I can do any of the above work in conjunction with your state Chamber of Commerce.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Robert Shattuck

Inquiry to National Chamber Litigation Center

Subj: Is NCLC working on this issue?
Date: 8/10/2008 1:06:45 P.M. Central Daylight Time
From: RDShatt
To: RConrad@USChamber.com

Dear Ms. Conrad,

I recently tried to agitate the Xerox Board of Directors about their settlement of a securities class action lawsuit against Xerox. You may find out more about what I did here: Xerox

I find this type of securities class action lawsuit especially outrageous, and I wrote this Letter to Judge Thompson about about the Xerox case.

The materials on the Institute for Legal Reform website particularly mentioned Professor Coffee at Columbia regarding this kind of lawsuit, and I wrote Professor Coffee an email in which I asked the following questions: "Do you think there is any basis (e.g., due process, arbitrary loss shifting with no rational justification, other legal basis?) on which a judge could dismiss the lawsuit against Xerox? If there might such a basis, do you feel it has been adequately presented to a judge in a comparable lawsuit of which you are aware? Do you have any views about the propriety of Xerox directors approving Xerox entering into the proposed settlement agreement that gives net favorable treatment to some Xerox shareholders and bondholders and net unfavorable treatment to other Xerox shareholders and bondholders in an arguably arbitrary fashion? Is there a conflict for the plaintiffs' lawyers to represent both shareholders (and bondholders) who will have a net gain and also shareholders (and bondholders) who will have a net loss from the settlement? Do you believe there is a basis for Xerox requesting the court to include other Xerox shareholders and bondholders who are not in the plaintiff class who are also real parties in interest and who should be entitled to joined as parties in the lawsuit and be afforded legal representation?"

I got no reply from Professor Coffee and no reply from other law professors and lawyers on the ABA class action committee that I tried to ask similar questions of.

Is the NCLC working on this issue? Is it an issue the NCLC would like to work on?

Thank you for your attention to this email. I hope I hear from you in response.

Sincerely,
Robert Shattuck

Asking US Chamber whom I might target

MY FIRST EMAIL:
Subj: I want to complain to our lawmakers
Date:8/7/2008 8:29:05 A.M. Central Daylight Time
From: RDShatt
To: JEskelsen@USChamber.com

Dear Mr. Eskelsen,

I wish, as a private citizen, to complain to our lawmakers about what is going on in cases like the Xerox class action lawsuit I previously wrote to you about.

Would the Institute for Legal Reform be in a position to give me names of Senators and Representatives, and/ or staffers, whom the Institute thinks would be appropriate people on Capitol Hill to whom I should direct my complaints? Should I direct such a request for contact names to someone in the Chamber itself if there is a separation between the Institute's activities and Chamber lobbying activities?

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Robert Shattuck



MY SECOND EMAIL:
Subj: Fwd: I want to complain to our lawmakers
Date: 8/9/2008 6:10:53 A.M. Central Daylight Time
From: RDShatt
To: LRickard@USChamber.com

Dear Ms. Rickard,

I have no reason to think that Mr. Eskelsen will not reply to me on behalf of the Institute, but I thought I would send my email to you directly as well.

I will add that, while I am a lowly citizen of little or no regard in the eyes of our lawmakers, I have the advantage possibly of not carrying the baggage of bias that the Chamber or the Institute may have.

I hope the Institute or the Chamber will be able to provide me with contact names and email addresses.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Robert Shattuck

Date: 8/9/2008 6:21:35 A.M. Central Daylight Time
From: RDShatt
To: RLundberg@USChamber.com

Dear Mr. Lundberg,

I have been communicating with the Institute For Legal Reform about class action lawsuits. As the below email indicates I wish to complain to our lawmakers, and I solicited from the Institute names of appropriate lawmakers and/or staffers. Because of a possible separation of Institute activities from Chamber lobbying activities, it occurred to me that my request for contact information should be directed to the Chamber itself. Hence I am sending you this email.

I hope the Chamber can provide me with the information I request.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Robert Shattuck

Mr Eskelson is no longer with ILR. I am sorry, but this is not the type of work we do. The names and addresses of Members of Congress are readily available on their website.

Our lawmakers and politicians

Responsibility for our civil liability system and the tolerance of plaintiffs' lawyers predations on society ultimately lies with our lawmakers. They are unfortunately generally corrupt and pathetic. Nonetheless they have to be turned to. This presidential election year is another appropriate time for doing this. I will proceed to do so.

Also a letter to the Chairman of British Airways

I am also trying to get a letter to Mr. Martin Broughton, Chairman of British Airways, that is similar to my letter to Richard Branson, inasmuch as British Airways is ensnared in the same fuel surcharge class action litigation as is Virgin Airways.
