SLRC Weekly Update

Dear Compatriots:

Greetings to everyone!  I trust that everyone has had a great week and I'm sure we are all preparing to send the kids back to school if yours have not started back already!  I am glad to be back in the swing of things after my maternity leave.  You may or may not have heard the good news.  Chuck and I were blessed a third time on July 19th with our little boy, Jackson Knox Schaum.  He weighed in at 8 pounds and three ounces and was 21 1/2 inches long.  His older siblings, Madeline, age six and Charles, age three are receiving him well!  Thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers during this wonderful event in our lives!

Kirk and his family are in Austin, TX.  While visiting his father, he will be working on the Hays County case, Plaques case and the Corsican case.  Please pray for safe travel for he and his family.

Lawrence County

We will be serving the defendant's in this case in the next week.  We will keep you posted as events unfold.

Castorina

We were ordered by the judge to offer settlement terms in this case and opposing counsel has sent a counter proposal for settlement that is not far from the terms that we set forth.  If a settlement cannot be reached then the case will proceed to trial on September 11th.  It should also be noted that Hank Willliams, Jr.'s. designer of the t-shirt worn by Castorina is fully cooperating with us in this case.  Stay tuned.

Hays County

We will be filing discovery on the defendants in the Hays County case next week and should begin taking depositions in September.

Plaques

The deposition for the Chief Justice will be taken soon in the Plaques case.

Although school is just now getting started the phones are already ringing non stop.  Schools are banning Confederate symbols from the classrooms while students are allowed to wear sexually explicit shirts and every culture is welcome but the Southern Culture.  The summer time and beginning of the school year is when we stay the busiest yet the funds come to a grinding halt.  We cannot continue without your help!  We cannot face our enemy with blanks for ammo!  Help enable us to fight from day to day and build our war chest!  Your tax deductible contribution is needed today!!!

PLEASE SEND YOUR TAX-DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTION TO:
