Boycott The State Of Florida






Any one who knows me knows I've been around the block a few decades.

I could never understand why all the crooks and thieves live in FL. Well I know now. It is because there laws for proving a person committed a "white collar" crime like stealing my work, (and my name, reputation) etc.... is not something Law Enforcement will touch in their own back yard!
I know. A good man contacted me this week about
http://www.ExamSaver.com

He already had purchased work I created for
http://www.totalrecallpress.com and http://www.studyexam4less.com via ExamSaver.

The Clearwater, Fl based ExamSavers owned by Jason Bortz, is Out Right Lying via telemarketers that they have brand new material I created just for them! I had never heard of them before! Nor have I contracted or endorsed any work for them.

Well a little digging I discovered two things:
1) Jason and ExamSaver have judgments entered in court for failing to pay as agreed and collection agencies are after this outfit.
2) I spoke with no less than 3 government agencies in FL who bottom line said, we cannot help you. It is a civil matter to file in WA state. I guess FL thinks, as long as the money is coming to FL we don't care if its legal money earned or not. At least that it seems how the law works in Florida.

As I have said in this blog before. Bitching won't fix it. Action will.

I am asking you to boycott firms that are Florida based. Not just the criminals like Jason and ExamSaver who stealing from me my work and also affect my reputation with false and fraudulent assertions.

I want you to deny a dollar to the GOOD firms like SunBeltTools.com too. Stu from SunBelt has the power and the moxy to make FL lawmakers tighten up the scam haven they are running down there.

Sorry Stu. You’re a good man with a good operation. And you got the clout to fix your home state. That is the cross you have to bear. Leave FL or fix it. In the meantime, while I thank you for saving Kerio firewall and keeping it free to home users, I'm going to tell the world to take your free gifts and not give you a dime until you make FL fix itself or move. May I suggest Huntsville, AL ? Nice people, lots of tech folks due to the Goddard Space Center, low cost of living. Trade up buddy!
