Final call for amicus curiae briefs

Dear advocates of true democracy;

Your help is needed in pleading the rights of citizens to transparent local governments, ethical and professional government services, and the right to privacy in one's own homes. None of these basic rights were afforded us, yet the local authorities are not compelled by law to answer to their wrongs. The MN Government Data Practices Act (MGDPA) does not apply to any municipalities or townships outside of the metro Minneapolis/St Paul area and left no recourse to us for the numerous wrongs committed by the local townships' building inspector and fire chief. If you will read our petition to the U.S. Supreme Court you will understand the trials and tribulations we endured from a township that flexed its uninhibited power to determine local winners and losers. When finding out the MGDPA did not apply to them, the township refused to answer discovery requests. They destroyed us emotionally and financially as they have with many others. We have taken this as far as we can alone, and need your help in supporting us via an Amicus Curiae brief. Please look at our case and let us know what you decide.

We'll pray for your participation in such grave matters of constitutional rights. See docketed case at U.S. Supreme Court below.  The time is now.

Sincerely,

Marvin Pirila & Gail Francette
