Yeah, if there was an effort to raise funds to litigate, there definitely should be some type of organization in place before allowing this to get off the ground. I'm not sure of any limitations involved by organizing it through a PAC or a 501c non-profit, but I would think a 501c would be a little easier to establish and might be less restrictive.
Whatever group decides to pursue this needs to not only carefully select counsel, but also be mindful of the logistics involved in building public awareness that such a pursuit exists. For that to be successful, I think we should agree that a portion of money raised needs to go exclusively to reaching out to every potential plaintiff and raising awareness among not only Ron Paul supporters, but also disenfranchised Democrats and others whom may qualify under this suit.
I think we could start from Judge Carter's response that Gilbert failed to act upon and all of the evidence that has already been collected. Something that could start happening right now is outlining the qualifications we seek and scouting attorneys that meet those qualifications. I think with what we presently have available to us, it would be less of a challenge to gain acceptance from a well-qualified attorney.
Anyways, I like this idea. I'm probably in a position now where I could contribute some time to help. I do have all of the code available from BTO and Tea Party 11, so a moneybomb could be prepared rather quickly. Even if I'm not involved, the code and mailing list we built would be readily available to whoever leads that effort.

There Straus mentored and educated the godfather of the neoconservative movement, Kristol the Elder. See?

Dunno. The statute of limitations doesn't run for a while. Right now I'm getting Ron as a write in candidate in CA. But we could bump the thread with the poll again.

Yea I got it... I answered about this on this thread before... I just forgot it (didnt think before I wrote question....).
There is difference Civil lawsuit (private party, corporation, individual...) and criminal lawsuit (RICO...). For RICO we would need prosecutor (government). Any of you know a government prosecutor who will do it?

Realm of philosophical debate:
It is possible and this "potential case" can be filed as RICO....BUT.... without government at least starting investigation
I would not do it under these circumstances (lack of support,organization, money manpower....). Correct me if I am wrong but since anyone can file a RICO lawsuit for breaking any criminal statute arent judges "hostile" toward a civil RICO lawsuits? I might be wrong but reasoning is that every tort action could be changed into civil RICO lawsuit. They also dont like misuse of legal remedy that was originally intended for organized crime. I would stick to tort and other "ways". Go for RICO only if we are strong and prepared.
I simply dont believe that this movement can (maybe better word is "will") get enough resources, manpower to make civil RICO work. Government with its unlimited resources has trouble getting enough evidence to "get" organized crime and to prove its illegal activities. I simply dont believe that this movement is (will) do it....
Tort, breach of contract, breach of trust, RICO.... all this can be done and there are ways but (and many more ..quantum meruit bla bla bla. I really dont want to go on a tangent here):
It is not what you know it is what you can prove....also it is not what is right it is what you can afford (sadly).
Realm of reality:
We can only afford pro bono RG.
*I do believe that what they did with false arrests, breaking bones, election fraud etc. is very serious matter and that it should be investigated but I simply dont see anyone doing it (and that is biggest obstacle)...
