KEY PLAINTIFF TRIES TO DROP THE CASE AGAINST US WITH ONLY 2 MONTHS UNTIL OUR TRIAL. We ardently object to this. After enduring nearly 4 years of abuse, defamation, and infringement on our constitutional right to free speech, we are not just walking away now. The American people have generously invested in our legal defense to see a victory, to ensure accountability for this lawfare, and with the guarantee that we will take this all the way to the Supreme Court if we need to. Therefore, we will stay the course and wholeheartedly object to anyone bailing out, especially now.

Our attorney Jerad Najvar with Najvar Law made the following statement: "The lead plaintiff, Dr. Eric Cervini, wants to drop the case. We've been through 3 years of expensive, ridiculous discovery (and litigation). The fact that he wants to drop the case, given that from the moment they filed the case, they went straight to the media and painted my clients and the other Trump Train drivers that day as white supremacists and members... you shouldn't be able to walk away scot-free 2 months before trial. So we will object to his attempt to bow out at the last minute. We're looking forward to going to the trial and for the facts to come out. This is the dam breaking, all the facts are coming out and this whole thing is going to explode in their face. There will be a lot of updates coming up in the next few weeks as we approach trial 9/9/24, so stay tuned for updates in this case."

To quote Dr. Simone Gold, we "have been hired by We the People to defend free speech rights", and we are staying the course, even though the plaintiffs tried to exhaust us with the lengthy and expensive process, they filed a motion trying to force us to settle (which we fought and defeated), and they are now are trying to drop out. We are persisting because a win for us is a win for you. 

On this Independence Day, we celebrate the emancipation from tyranny and take time to truly value the freedom that comes from God through Christ Jesus, which was established in America in the founding of our nation, and defended by the men and women who have bled and died to preserve it. May God bless you and keep you encouraged.

Sincerely,

Robert, Joeylynn and Jude Mesaros

Our trial which was scheduled to begin 6/10/24 has been rescheduled for the third time to 9/9/24. The finish line continues to be pushed back, but we trust God's timing! Speaking of, we are riding the wave of the recent viral news coverage that has been surging through social media this last week. You may have seen us featured on Real America's Voice, The Charlie Kirk Show featuring Kari Lake telling our story, on Breitbart, and on podcasts like Tina Peter's Show, and The Gold Report with Dr. Simone Gold. One of our videos was also shared by Libs of TikTok (a Conservative whistle-blower social media account) which received over 2 MILLION VIEWS and was retweeted by Texas AG Ken Paxton and Congressman Chip Roy! It is evident that grassroots efforts are the fuel in our tank to keep this fight going strong! We recognize that is thanks to people like you, through God's perfect Providence, that we are able to persist. Thank you for your continued prayers, for sharing our story with your friends, and for discussing this issue with your family around the dinner table. We look forward to bringing a victory home for We the People soon.

DID YOU KNOW: The Plaintiffs tried to force us into settling. We filed with the court that we would NOT be settling because we did nothing wrong, the lawsuit is abusive, and we will “not allow Plaintiffs to establish a legal precedent to intimidate people into giving up their rights.” Thankfully, The court denied their request to force us into mediation. We REFUSE TO SETTLE OR APOLOGIZE for exercising our basic rights. Rather than taking the easy path, we choose to put it all on the line to stand for what’s right, even if it means we are black and blue. We promise to always be good stewards of the money you donate and to use it to fight ALL THE WAY to a victory. We expect the very "evidence" they plan to use against us in trial to be the very evidence that vindicates us, and we look ahead with anticipation and eagrness. The fight to defend Free Speech continues as we head to trial in June 2024 nearly 4 years later.

Thanks to 3 generous donors who covered our airfare, lodging, event tickets, and meals, our family was able to attend CPAC 2024 (the annual Conservative Political Action Conference) in Maryland where God made it possible for us to tell our story in the most unbelievable ways. We were featured on Steve Bannon's War Room, on Real America's Voice with Ben Bergquam and also with Dr. Gina, on Right Side Broadcasting Network with Brian Glenn and Vanessa Broussard, on Mike Lindell's Frank Speech TV with Sharrona Bishop, and on Tenet Media with Tayler Hansen! Since interviewing with these platforms, our clips have received a combined 2+ million views! This is a HUGE deal for us to get the story out and receive financial and prayerful support across America. Additionally, our fundraiser is up over $5k since attending the annual conference. We are very encouraged as we head to trial in June 2024, fully equipped and fighting for truth. Our fight is your fight. And we will not stop fighting for you 🤝🇺🇸💥

A GIANT THANK YOU to Lisa, Aaron, and Trisha, our sponsors and donors for CPAC 2024. Without you, this would not be possible. 🙏

A panel of judges at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has already cast substantial doubt on the Democrats' abusive lawsuit against us, calling Plaintiffs' claims "unprecedented" and "breathtaking," and basically invited the federal district judge to allow an immediate appeal to test the Democrats' legal theories. Unfortunately, the district judge denied our request for an immediate appeal a second time this month.

After the federal district judge denied our motion requesting to appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court (to have our trial heard immediately in an attempt to circumvent the abusive and unfair lawfare we are experiencing in the district court) we reopened our request with the Fifth Circuit Court and asked them to force the appeal through anyways. The Fifth Circuit denied our request to force the appeal now, but went out of its way to note that our arguments against Plaintiffs' abusive use of the law are "compelling," and would have to be reviewed after trial by jury in federal court.

Our attorney, Jerad Navjar with Navjar Law Firm, says, “I think the Fifth Circuit should have forced an appeal now; their reticence to do so points up a serious problem with the procedure for these kinds of appeals (before final judgment). But given the ruling, we will now proceed with preparations for trial in Summer 2024.

He goes on to say, “The facts will you out of the water. Unfortunately, I can't tell you about the most interesting items we've discovered in the case, because the court has issued a gag order. We're looking forward to deposing the Plaintiffs under oath this month.” 

Our little family of 3 is packing our bags as we prepare to head to Washington D.C. for plaintiff depositions.

Now that we're heading toward trial, look for more updates. The Plaintiffs' lawsuit is a brazen abuse of judicial process intended to intimidate Conservatives. We won't let Biden partisans and big money from the Left (with their 20+ lawyers) scare us away from speaking up for the Truth.

This Thanksgiving we are most thankful for YOU!! Our hearts are swelling at the love y’all have poured out on us these last 3 years! It is only because of you that we have made it this far in our battle to defend free speech rights at the federal level of the United States court system. It’s because of you that we can, and will, keep going.

What we never imagined possible with raising enough money to legally defend ourselves, God has made possible thanks to your generosity. Our court date has been rescheduled for June 2024 and we have nearly raised enough funds to make it to trial. Thank you for giving us a fighting chance!

There have many. obstacles, setbacks, worries and stressors - but the support we have received from the American people outweighs them all, keeping us encouraged. We are eager to achieve a victory for We the People and await God's timing with hopeful hearts.

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. We are praying God’s immense blessings and favor over you and yours.

"Give thanks to the Lord! Make his doings made known among the peoples." Psalm 105:1

The city of San Marcos and three of its police officials, Chase Stapp, Brandon Winkenwerder, and Matthew Daenzner, SETTLED the Cervini v. Stapp case involving egregious allegations that they "failed to appropriately respond" to last minute calls from campaign staffers on the Biden Bus for a police escort when they drove through San Marcos on Interstate 35 while a Trump Train drove alongside them. 

Despite the fact that the same nonprofits funding the lawsuits (both against individual Americans including the Mesaroses, and separately the City of San Marcos) campaign to defund the police, they expected the police to provide an escort on a mere moment's notice. Police staff advised occupants of the bus that they didn't have enough patrol cars available for a last minute escort, but if a situation escalated they would respond. 

Media outlets falsely claim the Trump Train attempted to "ambush" the bus, lie claiming they "swerved into" the bus, "assaulted Biden-Harris supporters" and, parroting Biden, even claim they "ran it off the road." None of which ever happened. What the media consistently fails to report on truthfully is that the Biden Bus itself was speeding up, slowing down and changing lanes unpredictably without turn signals. As a result, the Biden-Harris Campaign Staffer following the bus in the notorious white car side-swiped a Trump supporter's vehicle from negligent and aggressive driving. This however didn't stop plaintiffs from fabricating a tale of emotional damage resulting from this day and sued San Marcos P.D. for not responding to their calls as desired.

Now, nearly three years later, the San Marcos Police Department has "admitted to falling short of its own policing standards", they have instituted mandatory "political violence" training for all officers, and have agreed to pay a total of $175,000 in damages to the Plaintiffs whom they claim they "failed to protect". It's apparent that they moreso need training on the Constitution and Freedom of Speech. Our Founding Fathers are rolling, no doubt, to see this city take the path of least resistance at the expense of the American people who they swore an oath to defend.

This is an incredibly disappointing failure to stand for American's basic rights to Free Speech and regrettably sets the precedence that government officials are now easily able to weaponize the law against municipalities, police departments, and worse, average Americans, simply when their feelings are hurt, bankrupting individuals and taxpayers who stand in their way. 

For Wendy Davis, one of the Plaintiffs suing the San Marcos PD, her very own voter base and would-be constituents are left footing the bill for this frivolous abuse of the legal system as she was running for Congress at the time of the incident. Had she not miserably lost to Chip Roy, she would be representing these very same tax-payers who she is exploiting via lawfare. It was the City of San Marcos's job to uphold the Constitution and they failed in a cowardice display of apologetics, bowing to the woke mob. 

Robert and Joeylynn, along with only a couple of other freedom-loving defendants remaining, will stand alone to defend Free Speech Rights and give all they have to do what the San Marcos Police Department should have done: stick it out to the end to ensure a victory for the First Amendment.

Have you seen the news articles claiming "Trump Train Participants Settle Lawsuit with Apology"? Let's be VERY CLEAR: WE DID *NOT* SETTLE. If anything, we’re doubling down. We are still fighting to defend free speech and aren’t throwing in the towel, whatsoever.  

Our attorney says it best: “Let's put this in context. The two defendants who settled had no legal representation. But, just as my clients, they were facing about 20 lawyers from Washington and DC with unlimited resources from liberal donors, seeking to financially ruin them with a federal lawsuit. The Biden Bus lawyers cynically leveraged their raw power against unrepresented, young defendants. It seems clear to me that Plaintiffs' lawyers carefully crafted the settlement statements with the intent to use them against the remaining defendants.

However, my clients will not be intimidated. The Biden Bus paraded down I-35 as a moving billboard, and my clients simply drove along in the vicinity flying Trump flags. That's not a federal offense, it's protected political association and speech. But it was tremendously embarrassing for the Biden bus, so they are abusing the court system to stretch the law and intimidate opposition.

Wendy Davis and the Plaintiffs have about 20 lawyers and mounds of cash, but we have the law. If they had a few more lawyers, it might be an even fight.”

- Jerad Najvar, Najvar Law Firm

The plaintiffs continue their efforts to fabricate a frivolous story to uphold this malicious lawsuit filed against us under the KKK Law of 1871, claiming we premeditated a plan to suppress minority voter rights by merely flying Trump flags next to the Biden Bus. Shocking, really, as many of us present that day are minorities ourselves. 

As others around us are being pressured to concede, it is more important than ever that we continue fighting to see a victory for 1A rights. We stand firm in defending Americans’ basic freedoms and urge you to join us. Please donate $5, $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 now! 

New Braunfels couple - sued by Democrats for driving with Trump flags - seek dismissal of lawsuit in defense of basic liberties

HOUSTON, TEX. - In July 2021, Joeylynn and Robert Mesaros, a married couple from New Braunfels, were served with a lawsuit. Former Texas Senator Wendy Davis and three Democratic operatives and contractors involved in the Biden Presidential campaign had sued the Mesaroses in federal court in Austin, along with several other Trump supporters, alleging civil conspiracy and civil rights violations. The basis for such sensational claims? The lawsuit targets the Mesaroses and the other defendants for their participation in a Trump Train event in October 202o, expressing their support for President Trump’s re-election as the Biden bus traveled through central Texas.  

Wendy Davis and the other plaintiffs are represented by no fewer than ten attorneys, primarily from New York City and Washington, D.C. Najvar Law Firm PLLC (NLF), of Houston, Texas, was retained by the Mesaroses.

This month, the Mesaroses filed a second motion urging the district court to dismiss the case outright, explaining that the Democrats’ novel legal theory would upend settled First Amendment law and chill the completely legal and non-violent speech of conservatives.

“This lawsuit is an egregious abuse of the judicial system,” said NLF principal attorney Jerad Najvar, an experienced litigator who has focused for more than a decade on constitutional, and especially First Amendment, litigation for conservatives. “As I said in our initial statements, the whole case is founded upon the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ pitiable lies and exaggerations, and their own evidence refutes their central factual claims,” Najvar said. The Epoch Times reported on the case last year, with further discussion of the underlying facts. NLF will be discussing the factual aspects of the case in coming days, including the Plaintiffs’ own evidence which directly refutes the claims. “But the focus of our pending motion is the fact that settled First Amendment law forecloses the Plaintiffs’ novel claims as a matter of law, and therefore we are re-urging the court to dismiss the lawsuit,” Najvar said. 

 Plaintiffs’ lawsuit alleges a violation of a provision of 42 U.S.C. § 1985(3), known as the “Ku Klux Klan Act” of 1871, which essentially guards against interference with the right to vote. But Plaintiffs nowhere allege that anyone was intimidated or dissuaded from exercising their right to vote because of the Trump Train on October 30, 2020. Instead, the claim is that the Trump Train drivers intimidated the Biden campaign surrogates and workers while they were in the act of offering “support or advocacy” to Biden as the bus traveled to Austin on I-35.

“My clients were sued for nothing more than driving along I-35 with their Trump and other political flags proudly displayed on their vehicle, which they have the clear right to do,” said Najvar. Because there is no claim of interference with actual voting activity, the Plaintiffs’ theory relies solely on alleged interference with rights protected under the First Amendment – but proving a violation of First Amendment rights would require proof of government involvement in the Plaintiffs’ imaginary conspiracy to intimidate. The Mesaroses are not government agents. They are not officials, but normal citizens who had the temerity to show their support for Trump in 2020 as Biden surrogates apparently claimed the sole right to campaign on I-35 in the vicinity of their massive bus. 

 In a 1983 case interpreting the statute at issue, the Supreme Court held that where (as here) there is no claim of interference with anyone’s ability to register to vote or actually vote, alleged interference with “support or advocacy” is a claim arising solely under the First Amendment, and therefore requires state involvement. United Brotherhood of Carpenters v. Scott, 463 U.S. 825, 830 (1983). Lacking any state involvement here, the Plaintiffs’ claim fails as a matter of law. The Supreme Court specifically warned against interpreting Section 1985(3) to support “the claim that a political party has interfered with the freedom of speech of another political party by encouraging the heckling of its rival’s speakers and the disruption of the rival’s meetings,” because the federal courts cannot be “monitors of campaign tactics.”

“The Plaintiffs here seek to do exactly what the Supreme Court warned against in Carpenters,” Najvar said. “Plaintiffs are sophisticated and know exactly what they’re doing – this lawsuit is an attempt to silence political opposition by intimidation through the court system. It cannot succeed.” Najvar is not the only one saying so. Lackland Bloom Jr., professor of constitutional law at SMU’s Dedman School of Law, told The Epoch Times that he believes the case will ultimately be dismissed.

Najvar has prevailed in constitutional lawsuits against the Federal Election Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, the Texas Ethics Commission, the cities of Houston (twice), Austin, and Stafford, and Bexar and Hidalgo Counties in Texas. He has argued constitutional cases in the Texas Supreme Court, Texas’s First and Fourth Courts of Appeals, and in the United States Courts of Appeals for the Fifth, Ninth, Eleventh, and D.C. Circuits.   

The motion to dismiss Plaintiffs’ amended complaint is currently pending and awaiting a ruling from the court. The case is Cervini v. Cisneros, No. 1:21-cv-00565, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division.

Najvar Law Firm, PLLC, based in Houston, focuses on litigation and appeals in election and constitutional matters. NLF has successfully litigated several constitutional cases, including serving as co-counsel to Plaintiff Shaun McCutcheon in McCutcheon v. FEC (2014), in which the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal aggregate limits on campaign contributions under the First Amendment.

Statement made by Attorney Jerad Najvar with Najvar Law Firm, Political Law, Ethics, Litigation and Appeals, representing Robert and Joeylynn Mesaros

Despite Robert and Joeylynn's best efforts to get this frivolous lawsuit dismissed, the Obama-appointed judge has ruled the couple will go to trial by jury in Federal court. The judge has issued a court date of December 11, 2023, which will be a staggering 3+ years from the date they drove next to the Biden Bus. The nature of lawfare (which is defined as the use of legal systems to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter individual's usage of their legal rights), results in very expensive legal fees as the legal processes are often dragged out for years. During the first 2 years of this lawsuit, Robert and Joeylynn spent over $100,000 merely trying to get the lawsuit dismissed and simply providing discovery documentation. The couple's attorney has counseled them that the lawsuit could exceed half a million dollars in legal fees alone, if taken all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Robert and Joeylynn continue to hold the line for free speech rights at the federal level for all Americans and need your financial support to stay in the fight. They have raised their current goal to $300,000 in order to be financially equipped to make it through the trial and to ensure a victory defending our 1st Amendment rights.

Robert and Joeylynn maintain a winning mindset despite the lack of resources from over 50 non-profits who claim they defend 1st Amendment rights but have denied the couple's applications saying they only specialize in religious freedoms under the 1st Amendment. Additionally, local and state politicians have show time and time again their reluctancy to join the fight to defend free speech with Robert and Joeylynn, despite multiple attempts to recruit their help over the last 2 years. Robert and Joeylynn believe that "silence in the face of evil is evil itself.", and humbly thank you for your bravery in joining their fight and making it possible for them to stay in this battle - both financially and prayerfully.

Robert and Joeylynn want you to know that, "it will be because the American people alone have funded this fight that our impending victory is even possible. God alone will receive the glory and no one man or organization will be able to take credit for it. Together, with We the People, we are passionately defending our most basic God-given rights. Thank you for your staunch support!" 

One of the biggest exercises of free speech that we have ever assembled - all thanks to our volunteers, sponsors and supporters!! (Thanks also to the politicIans suing us for exercising free speech, which only lit the fire to go even harder!) 

"It was a great day in New Braunfels for our clients Joeylynn and Robert Mesaros, whose “Biden is the Wurst” float was a huge hit in the Comal County Fair Parade. The float was a project of FreeSpeechDefender.com. But a “complaint” from someone to the Comal County Fair Association threatened to derail their participation. The CCFA told the Mesaroses a week before the parade that, despite having a “political” float category available at sign up, they wouldn’t be able to parade because their slogan was “negative” toward Biden. We quickly explained to CCFA that as a 501c3, if it was going to invite “political” floats, it couldn’t favor one side or another, and the fact that some might be offended by a message against Biden couldn’t justify denying them entry. 

To their credit, CCFA dropped its opposition and the float was a huge success. But it’s a shame that the Comal County Fair Assoc was initially ready to capitulate to some complainant, when Biden’s lies and incompetency and downright evil policies (including supporting abortion on demand to birth) are inherently offensive themselves to any fair minded person. Maybe one day more of our officials and leaders will actually defend virtue and truth rather than simply managing the degeneration of our culture."

- Jerad Najvar, Najvar Law Firm, LLC, representing clients Robert and Joeylynn Mesaros

Needless to say, free speech prevailed! It’s so important to KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. Know them so that when people infringe on them you can call it out and expect them to respect you and treat you with equality and justice. Stand firm in demanding your fair treatment and don’t be afraid to speak up when you’re being censored. If we hadn’t pushed back they would have happily, and easily, squashed us. 

But not this time.

We are getting sued for exercising free speech, then aren’t getting help from elected officials or media to fundraise or cover the story, so we resort to our own efforts via word of mouth and creative marketing, then our own city’s fair association of predominately “conservative” members tried to censors us. You can’t make this stuff up. Wake up folks. This is America. This is Texas. We have to defend these freedoms to hand down to our children. Don’t just roll over and let them push you around because they don’t like what you have to say.

A HUGE thanks to our sponsors Patriot Cigar Company Topside Construction Hair By Eileen Any Margraves and Devan Brandalick Music for covering our expenses and decoration!! Everything came together beautifully!!

AND A BIG THANKS TO YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR FIGHT TO DEFEND FREE SPEECH! GOD BLESS YOU!

-Robert and Joeylynn Mesaros

Biden Bus Democrats and their lawyers RECEIVE the unconstitutional PROTECTIVE ORDER that they requested (which silences Robert and Joeylynn, preventing them from publicizing documents the plaintiffs turn over in the discovery phase of the lawsuit) as Obama-appointed Judge Pitman rules in Plaintiffs' favor of their request. First the Plaintiffs file a bogus lawsuit in federal court, then run from the facts as Defendants begin requesting basic information to be turned over as they progress through court.

Our family is so encouraged by the HUGE outpour of support! We remember when we did not know where the first dollar would come from, and now to see our fundraiser hit 78% today is a humbling and beautiful thing. We are vitalized by the American people's determination to defend free speech with us!! God is on the move!! Thank you so much for your donations and prayers; they speak straight to our heart and keep us motivated on the hardest days.

In Freedom,

Robert Joeylynn and Jude Mesaros

WE ARE FINALLY ABLE TO POST AN UPDATE! (after 8 long months of waiting for a ruling, and spending approximately $50,000 in legal fees) Robert and Joeylynn received the dreaded and unfortunate news that the judge has DENIED their motion to dismiss the lawsuit. Judge Pitman and has ruled that they will GO TO TRIAL IN FEDERAL COURT before a jury of their peers.

The judge has not yet ruled on the protective order filed by the plaintiffs attempting to gag and silence them from speaking about the details of the lawsuit as they enter into discovery; however, it is up to his sole discretion if they will be silenced.

As Robert and Joeylynn progress through the judicial system, they have depleted the funds to defend themselves. Things will become increasingly more costly moving forward. Robert and Joeylynn do not wish to only be on the defense, but offensively fighting for American's constitutional rights and freedoms - they need your support and funds to do this properly. Thank you for your donation!

Robert and Joeylynn ultimately hope to be victorious in the end and plan to start a fund where they can financially equip other Americans in defending their God-given constitutional rights.
