Does the AEM site contain phone numbers of every investor? I would like to talk
to Trey and a few others.

If I send in money but we don’t have enough for a “war chest”, is that money
rebated back to the investor?
I hope that won’t be the case. I am ready to send $5000 by Monday but I was
really hoping to hear what direction Trey was going on this stuff.

Mike,
Thank you for your vote of confidence. We also feel that few people want to or
are afraid to get involved monetarily. However, we are still in it to win it.
Below is the address and directions for sending a check to Roy Thompson’s firm.
No money will be spent until a direction is determined, and that direction will
only be determined by the contributors. At the Thompson meeting in Tigard, most
people agreed to $5000. We also agree that 5-10% of what is owed is an
acceptable amount to contribute.
If you are ready to fight, it is time to get your contribution in to the fund.
No more discussion, no more dilly dallying, just write the check. It is now or
never.

Please note that my firm is creating a separate Client Trust Account
specifically related to this potential legal action. Any retainer checks
should be made out to the following Client Trust Account:
“Client Trust Account for Thompson Bográn P.C.”
Before I wander off somewhere: I see little indication that this group really
wants to get into solution mode. Nonetheless, I offer some final observations.
1) Rob and Eva Johnson were the first to suggest ways to defend against this
wholesale slaughter of our assets. I would ask them to commence firing as our
spokespersons and coordinators. This is a role not easily borne from Arizona.
2) Rob and Eva have retained an eminently capable counselor in Roy Thompson.
I would ask that they enlist his help in this endeavor, and follow his
advice. I believe that he leans toward the Grenley law firm. If he prefers
another firm, then we should retain them.
3) None of this is worthwhile without a war chest. I've sent in my $5000, and
I'm ready to send more if I see some indication that there is sufficient
unanimity to give us a chance in court. Otherwise, we can save our time and
money by going our own ways.
Specifically: The e-mail list has been dominated by about 20 people. We need
to average about $10,000 in donations per person to get a decent start and
convince the right people that we mean business. Think of it as a poker game.
If the pot is $100,000, then what might you risk in order to win it? I'd risk
$10,000 if I had a good hand. I think we'll have a good hand if we get
started right now. If we each risk 5 to 10% of what's been stolen from us,
then we'll easily beat the odds in Hamstreet's game, which hover around 0%. I
believe that we need Roy Thompson's oversight as our own odds wax and wane.
We don't need comments about the quality of this approach. This has all been
offered to us by the Johnsons and Mr. Thompson, and we need to act on it.
There's only one way to act on it, and that is to send money. That means YES.
All the rest is just talk, and means no. Sincerely, Mike Peterson
