Bullies, we face them at all ages. The Skippy story for Kids

CPC/Bestfoods and Judge Richard Williams seem to be oblivious to the meaning of the First Amendment.

Such an attitude from a multinational corporation with CPC/Bestfoods poor track record is not unusual. But for a jurist to tramp all over someone's first amendment rights, as has been the case here, is totally unacceptable.

It is my view that jurists who do not understand the importance of the first amendment should be removed.

Just last week (this is being written on 9-12-99) another judge ruled on Ford Motor vs. www.Blueovalnews.com in favor of www.BlueOvalNews.com. Read about it at Ford Motor Company .vs. BlueOvalNews

In light of this and a great deal of other precident it is clear that the order in 1986 is prior restraint on the Crosby-Tibbetts first amendment rights. But it gets worse when the judge interpets the 1986 order to be grounds to hold Mrs. Tibbetts in contempt for telling the history of the case on a web site. See Exhibit B (first filing) and Exhibit A (second filing).

PICTURE
CENSORED

A picture of Skippy® with two black eyes and the bully who gave them to him was here. The heading below the picture said:

©1924, 1999
"Why is Bestfoods bullying the little Skippy® once again?"

Image from Order 9-7-99, Schedule A

But in a desperate attempt to quell public discussion of this topic CPC/Bestfoods got the judge to sign an Order on 9-7-99 making Mrs. Tibbetts withdraw permission to use the picture. But they did include the image in a public document. Click here to see the picture that scares a company I believe is a bully, CPC/Bestfoods.

But the story gets even better when the judge expands the scope of his orginal order with the ORDER 9-7-99. In this order they attempt to gag unnamed third parties.
