First Amendment Free Speech and Expression under Attack
According to the Center for Media and Democracy, SLAPP suits are occurring like tulips in spring. A doctor in Las Vegas was sued for asserting that a city hospital violated the state’s cost containment law. In West Virginia, an environmental activist was SLAPPed for criticizing a coal company for poisoning a local river. In Washington State, a homeowner found that her real estate company failed to pay not only her real estate taxes but many others as well. Her findings cost the company thousands of dollars. The company filed a SLAPP suit charging slander. In Missouri a teacher complained to a weekly newspaper that a hospital incinerator was burning waste which might be a health hazard. The hospital filed a one million dollar libel suit against him.
