Dear Beth: Nice chatting with you. Please do not send this email to Mr. Worthing because he will post it on the Internet as he did with my legal communications to him. I also want to mention another possible conflict of interest other than your representation of ACORN. As noted, my organizations and my business partner Brad Friedman have been very involved with the ACORN issue, putting up rewards when their offices were attacked, urging accountability for James O'Keefe et al for their illegal wiretapping of ACORN employees, having Bertha on Brad Friedman's radio program, writing dozens of articles about the destruction of ACORN, and working with members of Congress and the California Attorney General's office to get to the truth about the attacks on ACORN. Mr. Worthing has been part of that attack machine, blogging for right wing ACORN hater Patrick Frey. In fact, it was Brad Friedman's expose of that cabal with regard to ACORN which caused this attack machine to first target him, and then me. In addition to this, Velvet Revolution, an organization which I am involved, has a campaign called www.StopTheChamber.com. which exposes excesses of the Chamber of Commerce. We have worked with Chamber Watch, a client of your partner Gail Harmon, and I have talked with Gail about the Chamber and its IRS issues. We in fact are presently working with the FBI in an investigation of the Chamber and prepared a White Paper for the Bureau which includes as an exhibit the filing that Gail and Cyrus Mehri prepared. One of our Board Members also has a connection to Ms. Harmon, I believe through Friends of the Earth. I will be happy to proVide her name to you as well as the White Paper if you need them to make your conflict of interest determination. The Chamber of Commerce hired military intelligence contractors to attack our

group, Chamber Watch, and me personally as part of a six million dollar campaign of destruction. See http://www.bradblog.com/?p=8354 Although Team Themis was exposed, the Chamber continues to fund operations against us and me, and Mr. Worthing is part of the cabal that the Chamber uses for its nefarious purposes along with others such as those cc'd on the death threat email from Mr. Allen to Mr. Worthing. We are presently in consultation with counsel about filing a lawsuit against the Chamber et al for the Team Themis campaign of destruction, and there is a very real possibility that Mr. Worthing will be named a defendant in that action, which will most likely be filed in federal court. Finally, I want to memorialize my concern about Mr. Worthing's violations of the Rules of Professional Responsibility and the possibility that this may impact you if a Court or Bar finds that you somehow contributed to this unprofessional conduct. Mr. Worthing entered into an attorney client relationship with Seth Allen using a false name, and is trying this case on the blogs, attacking me personally and as a party, and now threatening to present criminal charges to obtain an advantage in a civil matter, being a lawyer and a witness, using his blog to embarrass me, and making false statements about me. See relevant rules below. I believe that any Court or Bar faced with a complaint detailing the actions of Mr. Worthing trying this case in the press with vile attacks on me, will find that his conduct violates the Rules. I subpoenaed Mr. Worthing in a civil matter and was attacked mercilessly on his blog, and in his tweets. He has called me a murder suspect, a terrorist, a perjurer, and urged others to attack me. He has called me out personally on his blog, urged readers to get the popcorn because he was going to destroy me and it will be fun to watch. http://allergic2bull.blogspot.com/2011/12/tune-intonight-at-ten-oclock-eastern.html This is not conduct that is allowed by an attorney. A blogger who did this could face a defamation suit, but Mr. Worthing is representing himself as an attorney who he says had an attorney client relationship with a party to this lawsuit. Therefore, he is bound by the Rules of Professional Conduct. I will be seeking sanctions against him for violating the Rules now that he has given the Court jurisdiction over him by filing his motion. My dilemma now is whether you too have violated the Rules by acting in a supervisory capacity to him. As you know, Rules 5.1 and 5.2 specifically require both supervisory and subordinate attorneys comply with the Rules. I urge you to discuss these matters with others in your firm and get back to me no later than Tuesday, January 3rd as to the conflict of interests and the Rules violations so I can decide how to proceed with my sanctions motion. Beth, as noted in our call, I am a reasonable person and I did not ask for this fight and I don't even blog. I want to be left alone. That's what Judge Jordan told Seth Allen to do, but he refused to comply with that order or the permanent injunction. Mr. Worthing has egged him on and advised him to violate the order. Now Mr. Worthing is arguing frivolously that the injunction is tainted because I am a felon. He is urging criminal prosecution of me for what he frivolously argues is perjury. He chose this fight and he will have to answer to the Court and the Bar for his conduct. Maybe he has a First Amendment right to blog anonymously, but he does not have a First Amendment right to violate the Rules. And I don't believe that any Court or Ba r will allow Mr. Worthing to remain anonymous after violating the Rules so blatantly. I am a victim of stalking. I have a final Peace Order issued by a judge against Mr. Allen for stalking and death threats. I have a permanent injunction against Mr. Allen prohibiting him from defaming
