Flyer Brainstorming - US Justice Cowars Before Scientology

Given recent events with the lawsuits against Scientology: http://forums.whyweprotest.net/15-m...ssed-because-theyre-church-70370/#post1301870 , I'm starting a brainstorming thread for conceptualizing and hopefully developing flyers and leaflets on the issue with the U.S. Justice System dealing with Scientology:

My Flyer Concepts:

-Lady Justice running scared from volunteer ministers, David Miscavige, or a scientologist chasing her with an e-meter. (can any talented artist make this?)

I'll work on the text when I'm done with other work.

Anyone else with concepts or already developed flyers/leaflets?

I would like to start a law resource center. We need to have a good admin to keep the foil hat folks out. I think the best way to educate judges is to bring them solid cases and win before them. Case history is very important, helping lawyers do their job is the best way to get the courts moving in the right direction.

This research article on ICSA web site quotes actual cases against cults:

Supreme Court Justice Brennan (joined by Justice Marshall) wrote that “it would seem that certain psychological, economic, and social means of coercion can be just as effective as physical or legal means, particularly where the victims are especially vulnerable.... And drug addiction or weakness resulting from a lack of food, sleep, or medical care can eliminate the will to resist as readily as the fear of a physical blow. Hypnosis, blackmail, fraud, deceit, and isolation are also illustrative methods--but it is unnecessary here to canvass the entire spectrum of nonphysical machinations by which humans coerce each other.” United States v. Kozminski, 487 U.S. 931, 953, 955-56 (1988) (concurring opinion). More often, courts treat such related issues in isolation, under a particular rubric, such as fraud or duress or undue influence.

What is the relationship of law, government, and cults?

Sadly the report concludes:

The report concludes that the current state of understanding of cultic groups is extremely limited and, despite the evolution of judicial opinions regarding undue influence and fraud and misrepresentation, strikingly little cross-fertilization has occurred.
