You simply used First Amendment. Look at Criminal prosecution, not civil prosecution. Because yes, OSPIRG (both of them) are committing felony racketeering. Anyone for a letter to Rudy Giuliani? But Timothy, you didn’t use the Federal RICO statutes.

And there is a way it can be done. Anyone ever heard of the federal RICO Statutes? What OSPIRG is doing is a classic Racketeering operation.

While I agree that there is fat to be cut in many many places, (for example I just recived a pretty little glossy pamphlet from the EMU-their annual report! it had lots of pretty pictures...I don't really care about all that...just the facts, you know?), there are so many areas that places like the Rec center can cut costs. I too hope that the Senate takes this benchmark seriously and encourage students to come forth with ideas, comments and questions about this issue since it is there money that is being spent!
