This is a huge waste of time and money. Mr. Davis, I understand the first several years of filings and attempts to mislead the press and the community because this guy has a ton of money (and influence) to pay you to basically stick your neck out and say whatever you need to say but enough is enough already and you may want to try to protect the little reputation you have left in this community and this country. Please don't continue to ask people to take food off their table to support what everyone knows is a disgusting, blatant lie.
