I am an independent journalist reporting on what I believe to be a criminal conspiracy involving hundreds of people in my hometown of Newberg, Oregon. I have exposed their invisible shadow government in my article, Meet the Newberg, Oregon Mafia Led by Elected Officials and Community Leaders on my blog CareyMartell.com and YamhillAdvocate.com
As shown in the communications, the group had previously discussed suing me for libel as a means of intimidation and harassment for my prior articles about their members. Oregon has a strong anti-SLAAP (Strategic lawsuit against public participation) law that will make these efforts wasted, but I still need to retain an attorney. As I have exposed hundreds of people, I could be faicing hundreds of frivelous libel lawsuits in retaliation. Your donation to my legal defense fund helps me retain an attorney to deal with this tactic, so I can continue to focus my efforts on investigating what I believe to be criminal activities.
