Help Fight the Unjust Law: PL 15-108
Our opponents -- those possessed of government power
in the CNMI
(and their high-powered apologists) -- are engaged in a propaganda
campaign to hide the true character of PL 15-108 and have it masquerade
as a sensible and justified law. At the same time, part and
parcel with this effort, they are seeking to sow fear and confusion
among foreign workers in the CNMI about their future immigration status
in general, and in particular about the legislation presently pending
in the U.S. Senate to assume federal control over immigration in the
CNMI.
We need your help to increase public awareness of the legal
infirmities and oppressive character of this unjust law, PL 15-108, and
to mount legal challenges to prevent it from being enforced and
implemented to make life even more difficult and uncertain for the
already economically disadvantaged and politically disenfranchised
foreign workers in the CNMI.
Help us expose the truth and fight in court for the rights and
protection of foreign workers in the CNMI. Help us pursue
fairness, human dignity, and social justice.
Donate to our PL 15-108 Legal
Action Fund. (link to the blog)
All funds received will be committed to the campaign against PL
15-108. The first $5,000 received will be booked immediately as
revenue to
the law offices of Stephen C.
Woodruff, Attorney & Counselor at Law, to facilitate
increased concentration on PL 15-108 legal issues and public
information. Funds received may be applied for legal fees,
litigation costs, and other expenses as determined by Stephen C.
Woodruff in
his sole discretion, informed by consultation with interested parties
(including litigants and potential litigants). Funds may be
applied to defray the legal fees of individual clients who lack the
ability to pay and whose causes further the campaign against PL 15-108
and advance the common interests of foreign workers in the CNMI.
Some funds may be utilized for lobbying. By donating, you agree
that funds may be
earned as fees and accounted as revenue to said law offices or applied
to expenses to offset those costs on a nonrevenue
basis. Revenues received by the law offices are taxable to the
law offices as income. There is
no tax benefit to you from contributions to the PL 15-108 Legal Action Fund at
this time. We will post regular reports on the website of
funds received and the use and application of the PL 15-108 Legal Action Fund.
Donor identity will be kept confidential unless you request public
acknowledgment.
Thank you for your help!
