Earmarks, Defense Contractors, Lobbyists and Georgia Politicians

I'm currently involved in litigation against Intergraph Corporation and Robins Air Force Base over illegal contracting activities. 

Since the start of litigation in 2003, I have learned what it's like to be a pro se litigant up against several lawyers who have powerful clients and a lot of money to work with.

I have also learned what's it's like to try to get help from our elected officials.  You can't. 

In fact, my cases have taught me that judges and politicians will do what they can to prevent accountability from taking place if there is a political or financial gain for them.   A Federal judge in the United States District Court of Middle Georgia handed my trade secrets over to Intergraph to assist them in going after a multimillion dollar contract at Robins AFB.  He told me he won't allow me to clean up Robins AFB and that it's going to get tougher on me.

Senator Chambliss' staff told me they depend on the defendant to raise funding for them.

I started digging for information and got a warning from a CBS affiliate that I was digging in dangerous areas and to be careful.  

Now that the Murtha / Lobbyist information has hit the news, it helped me find missing pieces in my own cases.  I'm pursuing an investigation of the Georgia politicians, Intergraph, and their lobbyists.

One of the defendants offered me a $50K bribe to drop my GAO protest, and then sent me an email telling me I would be rewarded handsomely if I dropped the protest. 

Another defendant, a government employee, had asked to meet me in an empty house.  That's where I learned about favoritism in government contracting, and what would happen to your contract if you didn't let the government give your plans over to their "pet" contractors.

And the battle continues.
