Today, I want you to marvel at the incredible display of political prowess and ingenuity showcased by State Senator Catherine Blakespear. It seems that while most politicians focus on issues like education, healthcare, or the economy, Blakespear has found a truly groundbreaking way to serve her constituents—by raising funds for her ongoing lawsuits.
Yes, you heard that right. Blakespear, the former mayor of Encinitas, has decided to take her Facebook fight to a whole new level. Instead of wasting her time on trivial matters like governance or public service, she has opened a legal fund to finance her relentless battle against a group of Facebook users. I mean, isn’t that just what we need? Donors eagerly lining up to pay for a politician’s lawsuits. It’s truly a remarkable innovation in the world of politics.
You see, last year, Blakespear faced accusations of censoring Facebook users who dared to criticize her on her official campaign page. The nerve of those citizens, expecting their voices to be heard and their opinions respected. But fear not, for justice prevailed, and a settlement was reached. Blakespear was required to pay the group $5,000 in attorney fees, unblock all users, and issue a public apology. A victory for free speech, or so we thought.
Unfortunately, it appears that compliance with settlement terms is not high on Blakespear’s list of priorities. Those pesky residents have dared to claim that she didn’t fulfill her obligations. And what’s her response? Instead of admitting any wrongdoing or trying to find common ground, she has chosen to face them in court, once again. Because why settle for one lawsuit when you can have two?
But wait, it gets even better. Not only is Blakespear raising funds from interest groups to fuel her legal battles, but she is also receiving legal assistance from none other than the California Democratic Party. Ah, the sweet aroma of partisan politics in the air. It’s heartwarming to witness the unity and camaraderie as the Democrats step up to support one of their own in a battle against Facebook users. Truly a noble cause worth fighting for.
So, my fellow citizens, let us all take a moment to appreciate the extraordinary dedication and innovative thinking displayed by Senator Catherine Blakespear. While others may be concerned with mundane issues like governing or addressing the needs of their constituents, she has shown us the true path to political greatness—litigation and fundraising. Because what this world needs is more politicians embroiled in legal battles and more donors ready to foot the bill.
Thank you, Senator Blakespear, for enlightening us all with your remarkable strategy. May your lawsuits be plentiful and your legal defense fund overfloweth.
