Michael's Message

Dear Friends                                    
Dear Mr. Kuzmyk
Dear Justice Boswell

I would like to express my respect and thanks to all who have been part of this trial and ongoing venture for the last months. The formality of the court room makes it sometimes difficult for human beings to convey all the necessary thoughts, intentions and concerns. However, since the Honourable Justice Boswell accepted website postings as evidence, I am sure all parties involved will, in fact, read this posting and gain more insight into why I am who I am and why so many people are supporting the cause.

In my response to Justice Boswell’s ruling, I responded with the following:

Dear Friends:

A week has gone by since the end of the trial.

I have had a chance to slowly get back into farming moo-d and am realizing how much energy and money is wasted on issues that could be resolved much more constructively through dialogue and co-operation.

Final Submission by Michael Schmidt in his Contempt of Court Trial
